Not sure what committee briefing this is. This is at least 10 days old.
Hardly, for a liberal you sure do subscribe to the Cold-War theory of geopolitics. If they were allies, they would help him, like they did Snowden, which has some propaganda value so it certainly is not altruistic. But I guess you don't trust John Pilger, who is probably one of the most reputable sources on these topics in the world.No. It shows that Russia has no loyalty to him. But they use his infrastructure to hurt western democracies. Keeping him at arm’s length gives them plausible deniability as they continue to use Wikileaks to hurt the west. They don’t actually care about Assange’s well-being. They care about using Wikileaks as an outlet.
Dude, it’s pretty obvious that you want to live in an alternative universe. If I post 100 news stories proving Assange’s usefulness to Russia, you’ll just deny it. So continue to believe what you want honestly. I’m not trying to convince you if anything. But just understand your disinformation will be refuted so others on the board can know the truth.
There is increasing evidence that Covid-19 has broken through containment and is spreading person to person from individuals who cannot be identified or tracked, in large part because they are asymptomatic until it is too late. Cases are increasing outside China.
China, Hong Kong and South Korea are shut down for the most part. Iran has cases in every major city.
There are also dispersed cases in the U.S. that are not being reported. U.S. CDC gave a press briefing yesterday and said they are prepared to close schools and businesses if the virus continues to spread.
Otherwise, media coverage of the virus has actually decreased quite dramatically, which is a bad sign. It means that CDCs and governments don't know what to tell people and are likely preparing for this to just play out. There isn't much they can do about the virus and social breakdown could become more dangerous than the virus itself.
China keeps changing the way it counts official numbers for infected, serious cases and attributable deaths. The real numbers may be classified.
I ****ing hope so. It is spreading alot in korea right now wearing mask all the time. ****ing sucksOy. The rate is down to 4%. This won’t even be talked about in another 4-6 weeks.

Of course it could but will it? Summer tourist season is around the corner as is the Tokyo Olympics. They could spread the virus everywhere, but like Trump says, once the warmer weather hits, we won't be hearing about the Coronavirus any more.Could the Coronavirus lead to a global economic downturn?
Whew. I was worried. But based on Trump's knowledge of infectious disease and/or his record of leaning on reliable expert sources, I feel... well, I feel exactly the same. Zero credibility equals zero.Of course it could but will it? Summer tourist season is around the corner as is the Tokyo Olympics.

Closed factories and disrupted shipping lines in China are already affecting supply chains for global tech and automotive businesses that depend on China for parts or labor. Obviously tourism is taking a hit. Yes, there will be economic consequences. It's just a question of how big the impact is.
