U.S. could become next coronavirus epicenter, WHO says

[William769]

GENEVA/TOKYO (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Tuesday that the United States could become the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, which finally forced reluctant organizers to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.

Britain joined the ranks of countries in lockdown to try to hold back the virus, and data showed business activity collapsing from Australia and Japan and Western Europe at a record pace in March, with the United States showing expected to be just as dire.

"The coronavirus outbreak represents a major external shock to the macro outlook, akin to a large-scale natural disaster," analysts at BlackRock Investment Institute said.

But amid the gathering gloom, the Chinese province of Hubei, where the virus was first identified in December, said it would lift travel restrictions on people leaving the region as the epidemic eases there.

1. Well when you have religious . . .

insane zealots - DeSantis(FL), Abbott & Patrick (TX), Reeves (MS) to name a few agreeing with t-rump who does not have an ounce of anything religious in his soul - "Houston, we have a problem".

5. I have to deal with this asshole every day (DeSantis(FL))

As a Floridian.

10. My brother lives near West Palm and has a lot of underlying medical conditions, while his wife is a

nurse working with Covid patients currently, so I'm as concerned for them as any Floridian is concerned for themselves. And the stories I've heard already, are not encouraging.

11. His news conferences parrots Trump's

2. NY already seems to be one.

They have half of the cases in the entire country.

3. We probably already are...

Steven Miller will get his way, America isolated from the world.

4. After electing this 'president' it will be well earned.

6. Because the US president is a fuckin Moron .... there, fixed it for em

[defacto7]

7. I think because of the size of this country

We will experience several or many epicenters at different times.

8. USA! USA! USA!

That sure is something to be proud of isn't it?

And the Republican party is 100% complicit in this unfolding catastrophe. EVERYONE with a brain knew Trump was incapable of leading the country through a crisis.

9. Will rather than "could"

[SWBTATTReg]

12. The rump epicenter has been hitting the US for over 3 years thus far. Only 1 cure, Nov. 2020.

I'm going calling him (trump) murderer. Every death that could have been avoided by more aggressive, not putting one's head in the sand, not playing stupid political games, etc. is on him and his cronies.

13. Because the asshole the RNC nominated for prez is a useless piece of shit.
