From a longtime friend
Today; a friend shared on FB
The reports are that the truckers are getting supplies to the stores. People are stocking the shelves all night and letting old people shop first. Carnival Cruise line told Trump “We can match those big Navy Hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships†GM said hold our cars and watch this; we can make those ventilators where we were making cars starting next week. Women and children are making homemade masks and handing out snacks to truckers. Restaurants and schools said, We’ve got kitchens and staff; we can feed kids.†Churches are holding on-line services and taking care of their members and community. NBA basketball players said, “Hold our basketballs while we write checks to pay the arena staff.†Construction companies said, “Here are some masks for the medical staff and doctorsâ€. Breweries are making sanitizer out of the left-over ingredients. We thought we couldn’t live without Baseball, NASCAR, NBA or going to the beach, restaurants or a bar. Instead, we’re trying to keep those businesses open by ordering take-out.
What communist China didn't count on was America saying "Hey, hold my beer and watch this."
I think a Japanese Admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941, "I think we have awakened a sleeping giant."
Give us a few more weeks (maybe months) and we will be doing much better! And stop listening to the hysterical media!!

"I think we have awakened a sleeping giant."
I agree. China really shat the bed over this.
America will never think of China the same ever again.
They are not friends. They are not neutral. China is an enemy.
This time they were holding medical supplies and medicine to extort America.
What happens when they start withholding all the military parts and supplies America has become dependant on?
-
And all this, while our government leaders try their darndest to divide us through "social distancing."

I think we have finally recognized the chink in our defenses.

I wish I could be so optimistic.
My guess is that once the crisis has blown over (which won't be until September/October at the earliest), and once a vaccine is out (again, I sense this will get the fast track and be ready by next October/November), folks will go right back to sleep ...

Odd way to spell "elected self-serving bitches".

They will never be able to say we need 'diversity' after this episode.
