  1. Testing is more important, since the virus was already in the US in January. People were carrying the virus back from China, while the Chinese government was still covering the epidemic up.

  2. The whole world needs them, we will be in competition. Why can't the president invoke the the Defense Production Act and cause HVAC and similar industries (that involve moving air) to switch to ventilator production?

  3. Spain is second in number of deaths total, and new.

  4. How large is the average family size in countries where people die from starvation? The real problem is overpopulation outstrips local resources. And yet US foreign aid cannot contain family planning.

  5.  @PabloGonzalez-hv3td  Look at the deaths in Vancouver, BC. They aren't from people traveling from the US.

  6. I don't believe in false prophets. Every wise word falsely attributed to your demi-god was actually spoken a hundred years previous by Hillel. All miracles your demi-god was supposed to have performed can be found in the Epic of Gilgamesh from two thousand years before.

  7. Actually, my main gripe with the Chinese government is, they failed to shut down wet markets when eating an endangered civet cat led to the SARS outbreak. They only acted when eating an endangered pangolin led to this second pandemic. And, they still allow the trade in pangolins, elephants, rhinos, etc. for traditional medicine.

  8. Israel's first cases were the result of tourists, mostly christian Koreans, who traveled all over the country. But, she instituted quarantine and social distancing more quickly than Italy did. Now most of her new cases are from Israelis who traveled in Italy. In the US, there are functioning healthcare systems, especially in blue states. Our problem arises from a lack of testing, and for that the federal government is to blame, especially Trump.
