  1.  @martinemikita9281  1) in which locations are those hospitals? Not every town is infected yet. 2) this infection is still in the early stages. States like NY, CA, & WA were the 1st to be hit. The rest of the country is 2-3 weeks behind the curve. Edit: 3) hospitals have cancelled elective surgeries & treatments that can be delayed in order to free up resources to deal with the virus. Even some cancer treatments are postponed.

  2. So what happens when those that stayed home are allowed back to normal? Aren't they still at risk from those who come in from those 10 states? And won't that negate the entire exercise?

  3.  @deborahhebblethwaite1865  - better hope that you or your loved ones are not in that 1%. And do the math on 2% of 7.5 Billion. And yes I said 2% because top virologists & epidemiologists have said that is the expected # of fatalities on a global basis.

  4.  @tedphillips2501  - your sources are about as nutty as you are. The fact that you would embarrass yourself by posting those risible sources is testament to your critical thinking skills. Or the lack thereof. #tinfoilhatsUnite

  5.  plaubel28  - you put your faith in politicians? Go watch the press conference Gov Kemp of GA gave yesterday. He issued stay at home orders just yesterday after refusing to do so previously. Now as a CYA measure, his excuse is "we didn't know it could be spread asymptomatically". Something the whole world has known for months. Look at Desantis in FL. Despite calls for him to cancel spring break, he refused & kept the beaches open. Now he finally caved & ordered a stay at home order. How many people are those spring breakers going to infect?

  6.  @pinch857  - totally disagree with you on Trump's response. He has been an utter, abysmal failure. South Korea & the US had their first documented case at the same time. Look at their response & ours. Trump was briefed in January, but he did next to nothing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/us-intelligence-reports-from-january-and-february-warned-about-a-likely-pandemic/2020/03/20/299d8cda-6ad5-11ea-b5f1-a5a804158597_story.html Trump has been lying his ass off to avoid spooking Wall Street. That strategy backfired because they're not stupid. Every time he opened his mouth at a press conference, the market tanked -- because by then it was evident that he was lying. His administration has decimated the very centers of government designed to handle such epidemics. The Pandemic Response Unit in the NSC was dissolved. Personnel in the CDC & NIH were gutted to the point that the very "institutional memory" required for continued functionality was impacted. This was largely due to the "deep state paranoia. He has been ineffectual in his own leadership & in delegation. Rather than appoint a competent leader to manage the Task Force, he appointed Pence -- who has a poor record of crisis management as Governor. Now he's assigned his unqualified son-in-law to be involved in the task force. The equipment, supplies, logistics, have been in shambles. There is insufficient testing. Coordination with States & leadership by the federal government is a circus. The pettiness, squabbling, name calling, blame assignment, & divisiveness emanating from the WH in this crisis is corrosive & demoralizing. When questioned over the lack of PPE, to divert from his ineptitude, Trump insinuated, without a shred of proof, that masks are being stolen in NY. There are several credible reports of him playing favorites with certain states with regard to allocation of supplies. Trump himself said "if they're not nice I don't call them" & then turned on the gaslighting when he got called out on it. The governors are the only ones holding things together. I could go on but I'd run out room .... https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/nsc-pandemic-office-trump-closed/2020/03/13/a70de09c-6491-11ea-acca-80c22bbee96f_story.html https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/trump-defended-cuts-public-health-agencies/608158/ https://www.businessinsider.in/politics/news/jared-kushner-is-reportedly-leading-a-chaotic-coronavirus-shadow-task-force-after-telling-trump-in-the-outbreaks-early-days-the-crisis-was-overblown/articleshow/74712798.cms

  7.  @kyhicprepper  - tell that to NY. I'm sure they'll believe you ...

  8.  @kyhicprepper  - how do you know the # will be 2.2 million? And how do you know the economic damage won't be greater with an epidemic running rampant thru the country? Do you think NY would be functioning if tomorrow the governor ordered everyone back to work? Who would comply & put their lives at risk? You're not only uniformed, you're also callous & unempthatic.
