It's interesting that the far right are so big on corona denialism. You'd think they'd be throwing themselves wholeheartedly into bigging it up as an extinction level event unless drastic action is taken.
It gives them so much of what they want. Hate for China, massively restricted international travel, etc...
If I was of a brexity disposition I'd be loving this and hoping it continues after the crisis.

Yeah look at Hungary, they are wasting no time giving Orban indefinite dictatorial powers because of 400 confirmed cases as of today.

It's a US far-right attitude I guess.
The sovereignists here (more moderate) are in full "told you so" mode. Le Pen has no links with China, so no problem for her. This would have problematic were it Russia.  :whistle:

I've gotta say, that is rather disappointing, if unsurprising, that the political tribalism/divide pre-virus simply absorbed the Covid crisis into itself (from both the right and left) like the Borg.

We could probably be invaded by Martians at this point, and we'd still have a huge divide on the issue.

Not so subtle metaphor for decapitating the Head of State and ministers, I'd wager.
Namely the former Health Minister who infamously said at the end of January that COVID-19 would not spread. Based on faulty, lacunar informations and/or to tranquilize the populace, take your pick.
