Epidemic: How will the Coronavirus impact kickboxing's biggest emerging markets?

Whats really fucked up in the states right now is lack of testing. Fortunately, they have enforced a "shelter in place" order in areas like the Bay Area, but people are still oblivious to how serious this situation really is. My company is exempt, so I actually had to go into work today. We are looking at potentially cutting off to the public and just doing production and deliveries which I think is the best move just trying to get leadership on board.

There have been 8 confirmed cases in my county, but half are health providers. We only know that because they are tested since they are health providers, but no clue who they got it from and how it was able to spread to them, so it's out there already.

I got a bunch of food stocked up I'm down to lay low for weeks. People need to stay inside and minimize impact. This seems to have been effective in South Korea. Slow the spread of this shit so that the hospitals do not get overwhelmed all at once like is what is going on in Italy right now. They should also set up hospital backups in non-use buildings or build shit if they need to. We need more respirators. Need more people that are capable of giving care too.

As I'm typing this Trump just signed in effectively a UBI for citizens, paid sick leave, and free testing (when available). That shows how serious things are, Trump has gone MORE LEFT THAN THE LEFT. Unbelievable. Granted, I'll have to spend 1 hour getting into the specifics to see if we are actually getting fucked or not.

I think we'll all be fucked as shit gets deeper. But my impression is that they're quite serious about the UBI, it's possibly the best policy right now in my opinion. This forces candidates on the democrat side to push for even higher UBI lol, but they were opposed to it during regular times.

These idiots at the DNC have foisted Biden on us and done everything in their power to get him the nomination over Bernie, who they smeared as a socialist commie now we're enacting socialist policies to solve a crises and its Trump that's doing it. LOL! You can't make this shit up. Meanwhile Tulsi Gabbard been in the background continuing to be right on every issue before everyone else and the DNC has blacklisted her.

Sorry to get into politics theirs really nothing else to focus on these days with no sports at all, forget KB/MT. Shit...
 
I have a question, all the tests are coming from Hong Kong? Please if somebody knows personal or close to personal experiences, just post! And how does a test work anyway? It is testing directly or it is a sample for a laboratory?

Also, the coffin photos from Italy were taken in 2013.

I am just saying, isn"t coronavirus similar with flu, pneumonia, whatever? A Hong Kong test can tell you anything. But I can"t find too logical such a worldwide manipulation. People would need to be really stupid.

We aren"t from areas such as Italy and Spain, yet (pff...), so we didn"t have this experience.

I heard Estonia is getting hit hard because some Estonians went vacationing in Italy right in the middle of the outbreak then came back.
Imagine just 6000 returned to my country from Italy, and all the main infected have connectio with Italy mostly and even other foreign countries. But borders are closed now. Estonia is small, but got infected from small.

Spain had 250 cases, today it"s bad.

From Trump, a lot of false statements are made. I don't know if it's either incompetence, compulsive lying or protecting his ego. But at least they're not kicking out reporters for criticizing how the government has handled the situation.

Very good posts
 
Snub, you the Americans are very intelligent... Sadly I am not a native speak to prove I"m not that dumb! Clearly you"are not like the UFC posters, there are all sort of categories.
 
In the Netherlands and Florida they don"t care. There are Dutchmen in the parks and marijuana buyers, while in Miami people say the virus is a farce.

Basically in the Netherlands they don"t respect any rules. The regulations say 2 meters from the next client. Now they could be lucky to get group immunity, or to be heavily infected. Or maybe the Americans from Florida are right, LOL.

On the other hand what can you ask from addicts? The police should ammend them. There is state of emergency in their country also. Visitors to the Netherlands though are treating the matter seriously.

I’m honestly not that surprised. Trump has always had pretty contradictory political views. He’s a right wing populist with a soft spot for authoritarianism and military strongmen, while contrarily advocating a smaller global military/security presence. He toes the old corporate line on climate denial, tax cuts and corporate deregulation, but has some pretty liberal views on global trade. He’s definitely not a traditional conservative or republican by any stench of the imagination. Of course all of his views and positions are known to shift radically. They are conditional to what position he perceives will benefit him most at the time.

He probably likes to be popular, and i don't think this will hurt.

Do you really think he"s that complex? :))))))))))))) What is he now, also an economist? There are much better British politicians and a lot of EU MEPs than Trump. With big education and no shouting. He"s 73 years old also.

Bloody populist, you are right, very retarded for a civilized country. Romania now is liberal, I am glad we have finally escaped. In the other places of the Eastern Europe, Trump would be good. They love Russian remains. Maybe even in Germany, they need a leader. :)) Maybe even in France. France almost wants Le Pen.

He"s such a populist! For the level of North countries in Europe, he"s nothing than a clown.

Tump is kind of an enigma. On the surface he appears to be completely incompetent and foolish but, he clearly has a certain level of genius. He has an innate talent as an agitator and, clearly knows how to manipulate people and situations to his benefit. Look at how he has play the global media, he’s by far the most talked about person in the world. I actually believe he’s probably very intelligent but, almost certainly has a debilitating personality disorder. He is a man that has lived a largely insulated life and has always had the means to live and believe what and however he wants to.

I believe he knew the people. All I can say he was a happy guy externally at least when he was young. I believe his father Fred was a genious. But all of his clan was smart.
 
Ugh, they messed this up. Should just have been a flat rare. Seems like it will be based on their tax returns...
