Your response, rational or not, doesn’t matter. You belief as to whether this is politically motivated doesn’t matter. The train is already off the rails. Gonna have to let the train wreck happen until sanity returns and then try to get thing back on track.

Or you can scream all day about how this isn’t nearly as big a deal as it’s made out to be only to be ignored by a panicked public.

 

just my 2 cents but our medical system is not nearly as advanced as others and it starts with the way people are able to access care.
with that being said we need to be smart about containment but that also of course is not coming from trump or anyone else in this administration.
Long waits in airports for example across the country where you are enclosing people tightly together to test them. social distancing is not a term our current government understands.
This will be way way worse. I hope if it gets to a point of furloughs that we all take a 50% cut for example in lines just so that nobody is on the street without healthcare if and when they get sick for themselves and their family. Were in it together folks

 

Stopped watching when he said: "In China they're headed back to work, BUT ITS GOING TO COME BACK".

They're is nothing you can do to stop this has been the contention of many, it will run its course. What I didn't think about was the overrun of our hospitals and the only thing we can do is slow it down. However, at what cost? Personally, and my opinion is worth about as much as my 401k now, we should be doing as China did. Build temporary hospitals, keep the most at risk as protected as possible and the rest of us work. It's a child like fantasy if you think 3 to 4 weeks of no school, sports or skiing is really going to fix this situation. It's also childish to think the government can afford to take care of us all for 12-18 months until a vaccine is produced. If we continue down the route we're headed, we will be broke and sick, instead of just being sick.

Enjoy your day as they may be few.

exactly this, reverse quarantine

 

You obviously have no experience whatsoever with the Italian medical system.

 

nailed it.........

 

Social media and the 24hr news cycle certainly hasn’t helped

 

Did you even get hired at Spirit? Last I heard you were trying to jump for Blu?

 

Epidemics - even pandemics - always go away. They may go away because the people most at risk (high population density) all get it and either become immune or die, because isolation and social distancing and other measures become effective enough to get transmission below 1 per existing case. Even the great Spanish Flu epidemic eventually burned itself out.

Hang in there, don’t panic, and take care of those you love. This too will pass.
