Went thru I it with 9-11 twin towers and terrorist stuff and abandoned bags and white powder etc.

It's ok to be carefully and cautious but paranoid makes life harder!

After basically NO REACTION from the United States and the rest of the world during this crisis, I'll take a bit of over-reaction and paranoia. This disease has been around for decades and we did nothing.

No this was not a "United States" problem, but we could have helped stop this before it became our problem. Was this left alone because it was primarily killing poor black people? We involve ourselves in other people's wars and issues all of the time, was it because there was nothing in it for us to gain by helping?

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better...paranoia? We will see!
