Actually, that's what I've been saying all along.
Cornavirus cases in the US are doubling faster than any other country. That is not pretty good. That is terrible.Well, for a bun ch of unprepared amateurs, the USA is doing pretty damned good so far, except for the blue states, of course.The US has been dropping the ball on preparedness for years and the Trump administration has just followed suit. The 2019 report just like the ones the year before, and all the ones in prior years went unheeded. If you look back at a timeline of events following the Dec 31st announcement by China, you'll see that practically nothing was done in the US other than denying entrance to the US from China. For 2 months the government tried to plan for the inevitable, by creating committees, revising obsolete CDC rules, bringing on board advisers to monitor the situation. In South Korea days before the first case was found in the country, the government had ordered test kits, protective wear, alerted hospitals and put into affect a response to cases that were yet to be found. In effect, teams of investigators were ready to and testing unit teams sat waiting to go.
Meanwhile, in the US the CDC was struggling with the question of what should we do to prepare and the White House was struggling with the question of whether anything should be done at all. Not until March, did the federal government actually start doing much of anything. Infected countries were ban entrance to the US but by then people were bringing the virus into the country and homegrown cases were spreading.
“The United States will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large-scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the United States for support.”
And thank you Flopper for staying rational (for a libster), even keeled and easy to converse with.
You, Care4All, Mac58, and OldLady are liberals that I hope my liberal daughter could emulate.
A virus that is transmitted from person to person through the air, spreads fastest in large cities which have high population densities. The ten largest in the US typical vote democrat. Unless the virus has a political agenda, it is population density that is responsible for the large number cases rather than political preference.
Case count is doubling because of expanded testing, which is a good thing.
Or rapid expansion of testing, dude.
More testing lets us get to more people earlier in the disease, which is good, and it also raises our case count by definition.
Yes. The drastic rise in numbers is due to the rise in testing. It will level off, but this proves the mortality rate isnt as high as the sheep are being told. It's a time to be careful, but the panic is ridiculous and dangerous
you have no data to make such a statement, so stop already with the misrepresentation.Cornavirus cases in the US are doubling faster than any other country. That is not pretty good.

nope. current running totals says the mortality rate right now is 320- million people with 600 deaths. first thirty days. one can't make a conclusion on next steps without it. that's the first thirty day rate. the next thirty days will be benchmarked against the first thirty days. that's how one create trend lines. and adjust. you all are fking stupid. hly shit.
The Chinese know.
huh?The Chinese know.
The South Koreans know.
Who told you containment might not work?
What happens to your market if this pandemic mutates the way the 1918 viron did, and returns with a vengeance next November?
"...why have containment?"
I’ll be 64 and went to the fitness center until Wednesday last week. I ain’t afraid of this. Why are you? I have confidence in my fellow neighbors they have hygiene
You guys are wacko. The cases are rising the same as what happened in Italy and Spain. People aren't paying attention and taking seriously shelter in place. I don't know about other states, but over the weekend, SF - Bay Area was a miserable failure. I would welcome martial law lockdown after reading the news today. We also have a president who is clueless against this.
