I assume the size of the puffballs shown is the relative size in nanometers of the virus? As for so many coming from China, that People have been under some form of dicatorship for millenia. Dictatorships do not readily allow advances in health sciences and hygiene. They do not want too many people to stay healthy and alive; can lead to popular revolution, you know. Why do you think Kim jung-Un keeps his people in starvation and his army well-fed? That, and the North Korean People do not have arms...
 
Size of the balls is amount of deaths, as stated in the graphic.
I found the graphic striking, compared to the "sky is falling" every media report.
Local news here qualified their reporting last night as it MIGHT be 2 weeks behind.
I am resolved to being a recluse for the duration. Last time I got the flu I was down for 5 days, that was 5 years ago. Being a senior with underlying health conditions there is no good reason to tempt the gods at this time.
 
I despise socialism, communism, and fascism in all of their various flavors and disguises.
You are my kind of American! Thank You for defending my Liberty when I was too much the coward to do it when came the Moment of Truth on November 2, 1976 at around 1900 Eastern Time.

I had been in Baltimore all day, sitting for the ASVAB. Had returned to the recruiting office. The recruiting sargeant said to rise, take one step forward and raise the right hand; I did not. I pew-seed out at that exact moment. Biggest mistake of my entire life.

Had I enlisted, I would have been a swabbie for about three years, then be plucked from the ranks and sent to college to study Nuclear Engineering. I would have been placed aboard a Trident when commissioned and began a career that would have at last resulted in me becoming the Commander of that boat. I would have retired as an O-6 in the middle 2000s. Instead, I'm an unemployed truck driver whom ain't got a pot in which to urinate nor a window out of which to throw it. One step and a tad of reckless abandon could have prevented the disaster that has been my life for almost forty years...
 
I'm an old Army Infantry grunt, pulled a few rather "unsavory" deployments, finished my tour of duty as a drill sergeant then got out.

It's funny how life turns out... here I am YEARS later pinning oak leaves on my buddy who is in the Navy. (I'm the good looking one holding the Bible under his hand... ;))

The funny back story about this.... He enlisted (rather late in life) and served as a fire control "officer" on the Alaska (a Trident boomer), elevated in rank to E-6 then got his LDO commission and went into Naval Intelligence (which I CONSTANTLY tell him is an oxymoron... LOL).... see that red face, that kinda sigh of relief and almost collapsed look about him? That's because I was whispering between gritted teeth so only he could hear that I was gonna give him "blood leafs" (slam the pins into his clavicle)... the newly minted Lt. Commander Martin was sheittin' hisself! I'm proud as HELL of him though! ;)

The infantry ALWAYS has the last laugh... ESPECIALLY 11B3X Drill Sergeants.... we're ANIMALS! :s0108:
