No words.
Fans of President Donald Trump on Twitter over the weekend put forth theories about why reports of the coronavirus have been mostly confined to states controlled by Democrats.
Before we get to their theories and self-righteous perception, lets all answer the question for them. We all know the answer.
First of all, lets establish why the Pacific coast states are blue in the first place. They attract some of the most high-performing citizens in the nation, whether it is Silicon Valley, Seattle home of Amazon, Microsoft, Nintendo and Starbucks, San Francisco and LA being world destinations
these states are, obviously blue states as theyd never vote Republican.
Second, being Pacific rim states, these states are by necessity the landing spot for business and family traveling from other Pacific rim countries. It makes sense that the virus would first appear along the rim.
Third, Donald MANGO-Head Trump flew many cases of the virus directly into norther California, right near where the first cases broke out. Of course, were obligated to also point out that cases have broken out in Arizona, Texas and Wyoming all of which we are fine with being blue this year.

(17,138 posts)The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s.
IT KILLED ANYONE. For anyone to suggest the Coronas Virus wants Dems to die over people who are Republicans is stupid.
What I said was "the MAGAts want us dead. I'm sure some of them see this as a Pat Robertson God-of-Vengeance moment." Not that the virus want us dead! Pretty sure the coronavirus isn't capable of sentient thought.
You think these guys would shed a tear if you and I croaked tomorrow?

(1,601 posts)This is actually pretty much expected. Air flights from China to Japan, South Korea, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto (I'm surprised we haven't seen Vancouver yet, but that will likely change). Should start showing up in Denver, Chicago, Austin, and Atlanta soon. By summer, it'll be hitting the Midwest and South hard. The Acela corridor between Boston and DC should also be fairly heavily hit.
Russia (specifically Moscow or Petrograd) doesn't have a huge amount of direct traffic from Beijing. My guess is the vector there will be from Syria via Iran, and temperature may be a factor.

(15,888 posts)If you add up all the confirmed cases at each dot =32. In the column to the left the total number in the US is 76. The map is not reflecting 44 cases. Now, in the above link I have found 13 of them. Where are the rest?

(44,962 posts)My guess is Russia only has two cases because they are not testing everybody. And neither did US.
