@Kwek00 This is a social issue, not a personal one.

@CountScrofula Those weren't my words
[i]Additional cases in the United States are likely, but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. And we think that will be a statement that we can make with great surety now that we’ve gotten familiar with this problem. They should be able to recover should they contract the virus. [b]So, healthy people, if you’re healthy, you will probably go through a process and you’ll be fine.[/b][/i]

I don't get your social/personal remark tough.

@CountScrofula well, that's a good point.
I do however understand political leaders at the beginning of the chain that have a hard time evaluating the problem when it comes to the economy. I think people seriously underestimate the choice you have to make as a political leaders. Because when the economical process dims down, that also means a lot of problems for people involved. There really ain't a good choice.
My problem with certain political leaders where that they had knowledge from earlier cases, and had more information to base their actions on. I think certain countries seriously underestimated something even tough other countries were already showing how bad it can get.

@Kwek00 Everyone acted too slowly on this. I'm Canadian and our response has been good, but late. Exponential spread is already occurring and it's frustrating that if we did this earlier we could have nipped it in the bud.
But you're right, everyone is saying that.
The US response is a little more worrisome because it's well past the point everyone should team up and solve this shit. Instead there's still tons of blaming and even sabotage of pandemic response. Also shit like senators dumping stocks in February while claiming this wasn't a big deal.
