Denninger: Time To Get Ready

First and foremost, the screech owls are still ruling the day. Doom sells, in short.

This doesn't mean that this virus isn't bad news. It is. It is especially bad news if you live in a turd-world nation or a part of a nation that is turd world.

Let me define turd world nation: Any place that does not have "White Man Sanitation" and in which there are moderate or high densities of people on a transient or (much worse) all-the-time basis.

Iran has a problem with the virus near Qom. Big shock -- not! Iran is full of squat toilets and Qom is a pilgrimage site so it is also full of people in close proximity. Oops.

Italy (along with much of Europe) has taken in millions of turd-world people who were not required to culturally assimilate to "White Man Good Sanitation" as part of their duty to immigrate. Note that the Italian outbreak is studiously omitting any mention of the demographics involved in those who are sick. Gee, I wonder why? Oops.

In South Korea the outbreak there has been traced to a woman who is a member of a "doomsday" Christian cult and repeatedly attended services while sick, ignoring other attendees requests that she seek medical attention. Further, this particular church forbids the wearing of things upon the head (like a mask or glasses!) in services and they are held with everyone packed together. Oh, and large parts of South Korea also use squat toilets. I'm sure they decided that praying rather than ejecting this chick was the better course of action. Double, triple, aw-**** oops.

In the United States we have a significant population of turd world people -- they're the illegals from South America. Many of them have crap for sanitary practices. We also have a large homeless population, especially on the West Coast although also in places like Chicago and Austin. The latter tend to be riddled with drug abuse, taking a crap on the street, literal zero handwashing and worse. Rather than slam the border closed the left screams "racism!" -- and has engendered the potential for serious trouble here, at least in some parts of the country. But -- we're more-insulated than many, as are nations such as Australia.

This does not make us immune. Less risk does not mean no risk.
