I’m game. Unfortunately, you won’t get everyone to agree to stop blaming Trump or what abouting Obama. This is a political message board, not a daisy farm. We’re not going to sanitize it like China did Wuhan.
This entire thing is political… The over reaction is another form of TDS and left wing insanity!~. And it won’t work. Trumps looking like a real leader. And he closed the border while dems were still in the impeachment mode…
As Dr. Fauci said yesterday, it’s not an over-reaction.
If it didn’t look like one, we wouldn’t be doing enough.
Humans think in linear fashion. They don’t intuitively grasp that we can go from “What’s all the fuss about?” to “Holy ■■■■■■■■ within days. That’s how the exponential function works.
Also he said the hope is several weeks from now it looks even more like an overreaction.
You’re comparing something that’s just getting started with something we already have “under control” (to the degree we can control anything) and has been going on for years.
Italy buckled under this within a week or two.
It’s not about the total deaths…it’s how fast compared with our capacity to treat.
As tragic as any death is, our health system rarely buckles under the strain of flu season.
They are buckling under this…because the incidence of serious cases needing hospitalization outstrips the number of beds and equipment.
How is it the experts can tell you this…we can see this play out several different times in different countries exactly as the experts said it would…yet here it will be different?
Before you say “socialized medicine”…Italy has more hospital beds per capita than the US.
If things slow down, I will have my crew do home improvements at my house to keep them funded.
Office staff is already set up to work remotely.
I agree this should not be political which is why I’ve stayed out of the political thread on this.
I really wish instead of all of the bellyaching over this, people would come together. Our elderly, who have been advised to quarantine, could really use some help right now.
I’d love to see the press promote how to do that, who needs help and how to help.
