Just 2 months before this pandemic

@vorian I'm not. This is the real killer...https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm

@JT123 it is just like a cult isn't it? You'll believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
America and South Korea both confirmed their first case on 20th January. Take a look at the state of the two countries now. Korea took direct decisive action. America seemed more concerned about the stock market than its people.

@vorian Try reading the link Mr. cult man

@JT123 Fauci, who apperently is becomming really well known in the news right now, is an authority on studies into the behavior of virusses and bacteria. And he says that what you are saying is wrong. It's so ridiculous that even though the top adviser of the white house says something, that the President decides to still makes the comparisson that his top adviser labels as beings "wrong". 😅

Just give me the middlefinger right away JT, because I don't think you have a good rebuttal to this one either 😂

@vorian South Korea is super strict tough... I'm not sure if "culturally" what they did would have worked out in the US.

@JT123 I did read it. It's informative and from a good source. Doesn't cover the point I made but you never do.
Ok pal...just a yes or no...is Donald Trump handling this crisis well?

@Kwek00 true. But it's the measures every country in the world will end up taking. It's the only way to stop it. How long it takes to get there depends on a governments intelligence and compassion for its people. Both of which are entirely lacking in big Don.

@vorian I really don't know about that. You need to have a good capacity to run your tests in. But if you have that capacity, then you can go for it.

@Kwek00 he's had since 20 January to build capacity. He's done nothing. More concerned with the economy than saving lives. It's so sad.

@vorian I agree that the President of the US should have learned from what was happening in European countries and China. His communication was pretty bad too.

The conundrum between "economy" and "risk to health" is a tough one tough. I think it won't be an easy to descision no matter who is in charge. My problem is more that you can se the dominos fall in other countries, and he kept talking about how things were going away. There was a serious case of denial going on.

It's also a shared responisibility... I think state governors and local authorities like the one of NY, heavily underestimated this if you look at his communication towards his citizens. On the 5th of march for instance Mayor de Blasio believed that the Coronavirus shouldn't keep people away from subwaystations, and even took the subway himself to show how save it was.

This entire thing gives me Jaws-flashbacks.
