But then we wouldn’t have Trump showing us a new map with lots of Sharpie lines on it.

And that has what to do with the reality that the US is going to see substantial impact as a result of this virus? Orders of magnitude more than the 50-60 cases we currently have identified?
So, based on your thoughtful consideration, realistically what range of confirmed cases do you have cover to see in the next 12-ish months before a vaccination is viable?
The bolded is gibberish can you try it in English?
We’ve waited too long to put quarantines and travel bans in place to prevent a wide spread outbreak in all likelihood and we’ll pay the price for failing to act quicker but those of us urging quick action when it first broke to prevent a widespread outbreak in the US were poo pooed and laughed in the original thread about same.
Instead of “have cover” replace that with “expect” to see. Sorry for the confusion.
It’s unknowable at this point since we have no idea how may people are infected in the general public.
The average person though who is contagious will likely expose 5-10 more people if they are not quickly quarantined.
Try reading through the original thread as the timeline has progressed.

It’s Donald Trump. Who exactly are you talking about? Has the man change in some way to make us think he’s a descent human being?

That’s an 850+ post thread. If you don’t want to have the conversation you’re under no obligation to reply.
I’m having the conversation and that thread gives you a timeline of what’s been proposed by various people and the reactions of others since it began.

according to foreign policy magazine (2/10/20) trump wants to cut 1/2 the us finds of teh world health organization
his latest budget proposal has a 19% cut in funds for the CDC
he’s upset with the ways som epoeple in his administration are handling the virus
in 2018 he fired the entire pandemic response chain of command
his acting head of the homeland security (in office 4 months with no permanent replacement) gave a congressional briefing today where it was obvious he was clueless on basic detailshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/25/chad-wolf-john-kennedy-coronavirus/
It is 300 times deadlier than the flu.
This is partly allowing corporations the ability to rob tax payers the maximum amount. Unfortunately it means killing people also which is something they are into.
They are going to make it so that it’s too expensive to get cured while it is already too expensive to be tested.

More to topic, the Trump admin is doing its best to ensure the viral spread as a pretext to canceling this year’s Presidential election.
tnt:
the mixed response from this administration is confusing.
SG says worry more abut the flu, CDC says prepare to have your life interrupted, DHS says regular flu kills about 2% of the people who get it, Trump says we are near a vaccine, CDC says 12-18 months away…
This is why organizations have meetings, send and read memos, have continuity in staff, so information can be easily disseminated and plans and messages can be formulated and consistently implemented an shared.
ONE TENTH of one percent of people who get the flu die whereas the new corona virus seems to be around three percent… What a ■■■■■■■ crock from DHS!!
Over 90% of the patients will get over it naturally without vaccination or any special treatment.

Donny talking now.
It’s amazing how much he blathers along without saying anything.
Pence: “The president’s been clear from the beginning…” LOL

Can you provide a link to DHS putting that out?

Donny says we are down to one still sick person from a total of 15, five have or are preparing to go home.
Says incidence of new cases in China are declining.
Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Yes, Trump’s long history of minimizing problems.
So the correct answer is “no” the only evidence you have is your own bias.
Thanks for clearing it up.
