Thats a fact, one everyone seems to be ignoring. If not this most recent cold, it may be the plague, cholera etc..

Your real concern should actually be the homeless coming down with this.
Uncontrolled spread then....
Which also fits with the OP, as morbid as it is.

Just look back to WW1 and WW2 with the Bolsheviks and movements inside Germany and Russia.
The NAZI's were not a liberal party, they were a nationalist party with collectivist and communitarian ideals.

I don't understand why you have such stupid strict divides in America. Either you're cold a blooded capitalist, lover of freedom blah blah whatever or you're a freedom hating liberal/commie whatever.
There's such a thing as a balanced society, where you have open markets, free trade and healthy capitalism for most industries. Then there's those things, healthcare, roads, public transport, communications infrastructure, power, gas etc. that all of society use and benefit from that makes sense to have everyone contribute to.
I've seen a bunch of essential services become privatized over my life and the results have always been worse service and higher prices for customers, higher wages and bonuses for ceo's. You can call me a liberal/whatever the # you want, but i've seen it happen enough times to know, there are some things that benefit the common good and should not be left to private interests.
A healthy functioning society should have a strong private market and production as well as a strong social infrastructure. Having too much of one or the other leads to either some bull# like the Soviet Union or the bull# going on in America today where your government might as well not even exist. Corporations call all the shots any way.

"with collectivist and communitarian ideals" = MODERN LIBERALS
Actually, if you knew what you we're talking about, you find that collectivism is opposite individualism and perpendicular to both leftism and rightism.

Bro. Nice picture. But it is not true. You can label a cheese burger as poison. You can make a chart that shows hit has carcinogens and all that. At the end of the day some sheeple will believe it. Sorry, I'm not one of them.
I don't need anyone to define an ideology. I think ideologies are just something that like minded people hide behind, and for the left is just something they hide behind because collectively they want to see the world burn. Tree huggers want to see those trees burn more than anything. "My reason for existence"
So, for me and many others, you can take the ideologies and clump them ALL into the "I want to see the world burn" ideology.
A conservative could develop the cure for WUHAN VIRUS based on good ole fashioned principles. And of course the left would condemn the vaccine and refuse their children to take it. Circling back to my OP. See how I did that!

What an intellectual argument! Bravo Sir.
Instead of putting forth any opposing idea, you just insult the members of this site.
Like the reply above, someone needs to get you a towel.
