OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Not sure what that's supposed to prove...if it's accurate, where were the ventilators, masks, etc.,?

And also it begs the question, "If we were really prepared, why didn't Trump when he could/should have?"

 

We should cancel all-travel from now on. You get a 5-mile radius from your home to travel in. All other travel is a government (aka Amazon), ran supply chain system. There will be armed guards at checkpoints. No more commercial cars, and transportation. Everyone works from home for the government, spying on the Russians. I think we've got this figured out.

 

It looks like a prediction that no one would win the championship would've have been correct.

 

Great, so South Korea stands out alone. Hmmm.....I wonder if part of that is due to the folks they're around over thar.

At any rate, thanks for the one-hit wonder.

 

Meaning, this ain't their first rodeo at this type of stuff coming from that side of the world.

......Much of South Korea’s current disease control response system was forged after a 2015 local outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, caused by a different coronavirus. At the time, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found itself unable to handle the abrupt surge in demand for tens of thousands of tests amid the largest outbreak outside of Saudi Arabia, which ultimately killed 38 patients and infected nearly 200.

The experience prompted the country to overhaul its CDC and pass laws to prepare for the next epidemic. Central to the changes was the ability to cut through a bureaucratic months-long process to get test kits rapidly approved and working during an emergency. The Zika virus epidemic of 2016 served as a small-scale dry run of the new system.


As luck would have it, last December, the South Korean government held a mock disease response drill — under the premise of a coronavirus outbreak.......

 

OK, then, you're free to blame Trump and 90+% of the other world leaders that just seemed to miss it. Carry on.

 

This isn't the US's "first rodeo" either. Trump is responsible, period.

,,,5 days after he was acquitted he went to a rally and played down the virus, and then decided it was good time to knock off and play a few rounds of golf.

 

They did do that. It is documented.

Do you think they shouldn't have?

 

It was probably a nice day.

 

Maybe the US isn't as privileged as you think.

 

I read the article. I'm just happy you admitted you were wrong.

 

Do you think the US will end up with more dead people than China?

 

He has the best Intelligence? Says who? US Propaganda?
The US and all our advantages? You mean like one of the most divided countries on the planet? With a government that for years hasn't been able to do anything without screwing over its citizens.
I don't think the US is nearly as special as you seem to be making it out to be.

 

So were the other 90% of leaders dismissing it as under control, then blaming the media for inflaming the situation? While doing jack shit
