I'm not happy at all with the US response.
Abysmal preparation aside, we have a president so intent of laying blame and making up "clever" nicknames that he can barely keep track of the lies he tells.
We continue to fight the virus spread state by state as if a virus respected borders. We'll "wait" to see what happens in the East before we decide what to do in FL, as is India, China, Italy and Spain have not made that abundantly clear.
The states that do have shelter-at-home suggestions and mandates are virtually useless if they're written like this state's. Enormous swamps of infection still keep their doors open, from big box stores to landscapers, cosmetic surgeons, tire stores, clothing stores, any store that sells household items, services, clothing or other goods. Parks. Spring Break. Walmarts and Targets. Daycare centers. Cleaners. And a governor who will not twitch unless Trump commands it. You name it. The infection spread containment here is ZERO.
And people are praying to the altar of antibiotic gel rather than the much more effective and humble bar of soap.
We'll survivie this latest crisis, but it will be in spite of ourselves.

@MethDozer I supported travel shut down and I see the whole China virus thing as a distraction. I don't care if people call it that.
I think to talk of 'sides' is really reductive. Libertarians arent the only ones with different views.

@Burnley123 Here, talking about here.
To say it hasn't been bipartisan fucking up or that Trump hasn't made one rich decision is bullshit. Same with the contards saying Cuomo isn't doing a great job compared to anyone in Washington .

Want to keep playing?
No. The handling of the situation has been and should be politicized. The virus itself is not. It can't be, even if you believe it. IT IS A VIRUS.
