That’s based on the fact that 80% will experience little to no symptoms.

I don’t rely on the feds to handle anything.
I rely on my state representatives.
I believe that the Administration is doing all they can to help and that the partisan finger pointing is doing nothing but causing more problems.
Why is no one pointing the finger at the house and senate who also have known about this for probably as long as Trump.
Why did they spend months on an impeachment that they knew was going no where instead of passing legislation to combat corona virus?
Why were they not making sure that the CDC had all they needed? In fact why was the CDC not going to congress for more funding if they believed they needed it?
Fact is Chia lied and we were so involved in partisan crap in DC that every person in DC is part of the problem.
Look at this thread and you will know what the problem is. Never let a crisis go to waste in an election year. Do you honestly think that one dem senator is going to do one thing to stop this if it would help Trump? No they want and need to make this as bad as they can in hopes of gaining more power.
Sick isn’t it that this is what we have become. We saw the beings of this under Bush and it has ramped up since than.
I never thought I could ever be ashamed of my country. But I am getting to that point now. What have we become as a country when we can not come together and leave the letter behind our names in the trash when people are hurting and scared.
What is all the finger pointing going to do? Is it going to save one life?
People need to get a grip. Contact your state officials and find out their plans. Contact your county officials and find out their plans. Contact your local hospital and find out their plans.
Quit looking to DC to save you and help your own community where you can maybe save a life.

801

That’s exactly what we’re going to have to do. Wait and see.

802

You’re making this up.

803

So then you dont know we’ve done a much better job than other nations. Glad you figured that out.

804

Blaming the poor response by the Administration on the impeachment

Well that is novel.

805

Are you saying someone in this very thread didnt state the the situation is “Well in hand”?

I’ll be happy to post the screenshot for you if you dont recall.

SK 6,953 cases. 43 dead. Population 51.71 million

Iran 4,747 cases, 124 dead. Population 83.18 million

Italy, 4,636 cases 197 dead. Population 60.36 million

Japan, 420 cases 6 dead. Population 126.2 million

Let’s compare those as fractions

43/51,710,000

124/83,180,000

197/60,360,000

6/126,200,000

And in none of those countries was there a similar outbreak in a nursing home filled with those at highest risk of death.

I’d say we’ve done a damned good job to this point in comparison.

807

Of course I can, all I have to do is look at the number of dead vs total population.

808

“Well in hand” isn’t in the same universe as predicting future events.

809

It’s in the same universe as making a statement of fact based on results you dont know.

Oddly and Ironically enough lots of people thought Hillary would win an election in 2016.

Do a person well to say I think it’s well in hand based on what I know at the moment but I doubt that will be forthcoming.

If the fed does nothing to help citizens financially than after this all passes the next partisan hollering will be why did they not do something to keep people from losing everything.
It’s easy to tell who is a partisan and who is willing to put their country ahead of their party.

811

I know what steps have been taken and what the current situation is.

To this point it demonstrates we’ve done a damned good job.

The past and present are already known, it doesn’t require crystal ball.

812

And if the death rate here ends up being higher than other countries you have mentioned as evidence of how great we are doing, who will you blame then?.

813

only in America would not testing people be viewed as good thing.
Japan has set up mobile testing sites all over the place processing thousands of tests a day.

814

He didn’t say he knows exactly how it’s going to play out. So far, there are 300 cases in the US. There’s still a question as to how transmissible CV is. The information Conan just posted has me scratching my head. 21 people tested positive on the Grand Princess cruise ship. That low a number changes a lot about how transmission occurs.

Before we begin,don’t shoot the messenger.

Inslee: “It’s important for leaders to speak with one voice. I just wish the president and vice president could get on the same page.”

Trump: “we’ve got a lot of problems” with Inslee. “Mike may be happy with him, but I’m not.”

You can’t make this stuff up.

816

Well in hand us definitivly as exactly is. I removed once word from the referenced post. Does it change what I said as far as premise goes? Word parsing itsnt gonna change the statement. In either case in a few weeks we will know a lot more.

817

And when you say “we”, who is it that you speak of?

818

Until then, it appears in hand. We shall see.
