Судя по "мыслям" и их обсуждению, полуграмотная трамповата даже не подозревает о существовании таких центров урбанизации, как Сингапур, Шанхай, Токио, Гонконг и Тайпей.

Не говоря уже о том, что в истории человечества разнообразная чума была регулярным явлением, но при этом города и плотность населения в них все равно росли.

On Wednesday (March 18), Trump met nurses, telling them the government had ordered 500 million N95 respirator masks - a key piece of personal protective equipment, or PPE, that is in shortage in the US.

He declined to mention that the order was placed 14 days ago, and will take 18 months to fill. Meanwhile, health professionals are in such desperate need for the masks that some have posted on social media asking neighbours to donate them.

For some reason, I understand (imagine) the right Kan extension much better than the left one. Really weird.

Suppose truth is a woman, what then? Wouldn't we have good reason to suspect that all philosophers, insofar as they were dogmatists, had a poor understanding of women, that the dreadful seriousness and the awkward pushiness with which they so far have habitually approached truth were clumsy and inappropriate ways to win over a woman?

Basically, according to Dr. Fauci, Trump at best is totally useless as the president of the country.

After this emergency is over, there will be case studies showing how a transactional president screwed up long-term relationships with people both inside and outside of the US who could help us in dire need. While Italy can ask China for masks and other medical supplies, the US cannot because the fucking moron insulted Xi and the entire country of China. Now, state governors call Chinese suppliers and compete against each other. He can't ask South Koreans for tests because he insulted them with his exorbitant demands to pay 5 times more for US military bases. He can't negotiate a relief package with Pelosi and Schumer directly because he insulted them both on twitter and to their faces. No serious person wants to work with him because they know that he is going to screw them immediately after they agree to help him. With this style of deal making, he bankrupted his businesses and now he's going to bankrupt the country.
