They dont because its against the LAW. Even if the president wanted to, the War Powers act also limits the presidents ability to use troops without congressional aproval. The only way they could potential use military forces is if they declare martial law. BUT that has also been challenged by the supream court during president Lincoln's time in office. As he pretty much did that and the US supream court declared that unconsituitonal. That ruling has never been chanllenged. Making it law. 

 

The state governors could use the national guard as long as it under the states authority. BUT I dont think the national gaurd has the required training or equpiment to handle this. I know someone who served in Michigans Nattional guard and yeah........ they are not really equiped the way they need to be.

Remember the dog in Hong Kong who tested positive to Covid-19 last week?

 

Seems it's confirmed, the dog is fine but he is the victim, his Hoo-Man is the culprit!

I hope even though dogs can be infected, it cannot pass back to Hoo-Man. Otherwise....

No proof of that, atm.

 

But they want to quarantine ALL the pets of those who caught the Covid-19...

I get the implication, but let's be real: There were a few really stupid and vocal people, like bimbo actress Jenny McCarthy, that conned some gullible rubes into thinking vaccines caused autism. It got very publicly debunked, and now only the dumbest people might still believe that here. During all of this, the medical community in the United States has continuously been for vaccinations, and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone that isn't vaccinated here outside of some little insane communities. I still have my original vaccination records in my safe, just in case there's ever a question.

 

Meanwhile, Chinese "doctors" are selling ointments to cure cancer, and tiger genitals as a substitute for Viagra. Beyond the medical quackery, China has things like the wet market where possible pandemics are starting. So, regardless of whatever comedy zinger that Twitter dude was going for, I'm going to very satisfyingly drop the mic over here.

Bruh, have you ever heard of goop?

So after the first death in California from COVID-19 my governor declared a state of emergency. Meanwhile I asked the principal of a local school if she has any plans for possible closure. A very nonchalant “Nope.” was the response. Meanwhile in Japan ...

If there is a confirmed case reported at that school, she may have to.

Many countries issue travel ban on S. Korea, Iran, Italy and China. When many many more countries have thousands of cases soon. Do we ban all the travels?

My coworker went to Costco today. Said the customers were piling around the pallets of freshly stocked water. “Surrounding like vultures the water stock was gone in like 5 seconds.” I suggested she should have recorded that mayhem and sold it to the news. Probably someone did anyhow.

Looking at how drinking water pollutants interact to affect human health, rather than looking at each one separately, researchers analyzed data in more than 2,700 California community water systems from 2011 to 2015.

 

The estimated 15,449 added cancer cases over the course of 70 years means 221 annual cancer cases from drinking-water pollution, researchers said in an article published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health.

 

 

However,

More research is needed in understanding how pollutants' interactions affect humans, Tasha Stoiber, one of the study's authors, told CNN. Because little is known about these interactions, the study could overestimate or underestimate the risks.

I still use tap water when boiling it to make food like oatmeal and pre-made pasta, etc.

So, just to not go against the law, they are seriously thinking that's better waiting with crossed fingers? They are crazy 

Anyway Italy, is getting more similar to China, doing propaganda

I still don’t drink tap water straight simply because I don’t like how it tastes. Luckily here the panic buying for water only effects the warehouse places like Costco and not smaller local supermarkets. So far.

People in Australia have been clearing out toilet paper from stores as they panic over coronavirus. A man was tasered by police after getting in to a fight over toilet paper.
