Ironic

It makes a good case against globalism and relying on China to manufacture goods and antibiotics.

I've been a bit slack last couple of days, but in this whole "us vs them" crapolafest with an extra dollop of pissy paranoia, this is about the only thing I've read that doesn't make me want to smack these partisan hacks upside their heads.

that's* made sense

There are times when people should come together and not engage in partisan politics.

People forget this is a real thing where people can get ill or even die, instead they're weaponizing it to score points with others who don't care.

When they woke up from the Impeachment dream

Which is how the vast majority of people arrive in our country: whether they intend to stay permanently or not

But I’m not sure if it makes sense to go that far

Anyway, travel to and from many countries has been banned temporarily; we’ll see how much that helps “flatten the curve”

Doesn’t really help the argument considering the cases all flew in legally.

ALL the cases, huh? And you know this why?

I meant they flew in from where the cases originated. Obviously since then it’s has spread internally.

Sounds good to me: all Non-native americans who feel this way please feel free to GTFO and go back to your home countries

Yes, and strip America of all infrastructure and things like tapwater.

those can be rebuilt with time

It's also a natural argument for strong accessible public healthcare services but I've not heard much development on that conversation.

Not a argument here at all. We already have public accessibility of healthcare for this type of stuff. We don’t need single payer, gummint controlled socialist medicine. Period.

Here in New Zealand we have both.
If you go to a public hospital in our major cities it's not unusual to be waiting 18+ hours to see anyone about anything not immediately life threatening. Even when they do see you they spend an average of 10 minutes per patient and often no follow up.
If you pay for private healthcare you can get complicated surgeries scheduled in a day and performed within 2 weeks.

That's the way to do it. Provide a government option and continue with the private sector stuff. Like letting everyone use Medicare and medicade.

Ask someone on Medicaid or Medicare about that.

Oh, and remember, laughing hard in somebody's face while trying to answer also emits a nice shower of throaty spitlets, so don't forget the hazmat.

Do they provide good service for that lazy eye of yours? No one can ever really tell where exactly you're looking...

Aww, the widdle New Zealander say something without realizing he's in agreement with my position? No? Oh, that's right, you're all on the dole there. Unlimited free trans ops instead if just 15 annually starting this year even. Golly.

How utterly boring it must be for yous that you have to try to attach yourself to our politics just to make it through the day?

New Zealand, otherwise known as the place that isn't Australia.

Oh cool, your selfie?

Gotta love your parasitic socialism.
How does it feel being entirely dependent on the USA for your gnat-level existence?
