What will happen when the coronavirus hits parts of Africa ...

[Jack]

"So far, the African continent appears to be faring better than others. But transmission rates are rapidly growing and a lack of testing means there may be many more unreported cases. And if this disease follows the trajectory that it has elsewhere, underlying vulnerabilities such as severe malnutrition could make the situation even more dire."

We could just tell the Africans that. Maybe they'll believe it?

More relevant question is what is going to happen when it hits those ruby Red States where the Trump base resides? Just starting in Louisiana, but they have New Orleans to blame, but say Central Florida gets hit hard, are the Trump worshipers going to still believe "it is contained," that "it is under control?"

Louisiana does have a Democratic Governor. If it's as simple as Democrats believe its real and Republicans don't then LA should be in great shape right?

Mardi Gras (last month) probably didn't help. The Local News is saying they are boarding up the French Quarter, the only people down there at night are the Homeless.
Oh, and for you Gourmets, they said now that the Fine Restaurants have closed, there's huge Rats running around looking for food.

"Rats looking for food". Sounds like anti Socialist Republicans scrounging for their Stimulus checks......)

New Orleans is warm, so they will get no Coronavirus.

Let's hope COVID-19 doesn't continue to mutate. There have already been two strands identified so far.

Of course, Republicans deny evolution, so we'll see how that goes.
