  1. You realize a lot of diabetics have to check their blood several times a day and can't manage that. I don't have that much faith in my fellow man. There are crazies that spread this intentionally.

  2.  @Havanorange  The ban went into effect Feb. 2nd. No one knew until Dec 31st and even then China was downplaying it. One person left the team in China and 1 person got fired from the pandemic team. The rest quit or moved into other branches still dedicated to...pandemic readiness. As for pressuring China, that's what we pay WHO for. It's their job. It's not like our relationship with China hasn't been strained since they started building those islands to take control of shipping lanes.

  3. Would you rather him say something definitive that turns out not to be doable? How about stop asking the same question over and over expecting a different response.

  4.  @gxtmfa  We also have fewer cases, have flattened the curve much better, and naturally have social distancing. I live in a county of 50,000. We have 17 cases. We increase by like 3 a week. We'll soon be seeing the number recovered be more than the active cases. There's no reason for us to keep extreme measures for very long. Should a state like Alaska stay in total lockdown when they have no new cases just because New Orleans, New York, or Pennsylvania does?

  5. I'm getting tired of repeating this. It wasn't known until Dec 31st. Stop saying we should have done something in December. December was over when the doctor finally blew the whistle.

  6. Because there's nothing that says that would make any difference. Not a shred of data. I trust actual medical experts that don't try to get you buy something they are selling or own stock in.

  7. How could we act in December when China didn't announce it until December 31st? Can I have your crystal ball? I don't know why you brought up Obama other than an attempt to make his failure during a pandemic look better. Here's a news flash. We could always have done better. That's how you learn what works and what doesn't. Dr. Fauci has stated that several times so I don't understand this pathological need to keep making him repeat it.

  8. Except Dr. Fauci has repeatedly said that the response can always be better. You have to see what is effective and learn from each experience so you get better every time.

  9. They are doing that. I guess you missed where Dr. Fauci was discussing talking with individual states about this. I guess you also missed an earlier news conference that the rapid tests were going to go to the states that had the virus under better control to help with even better containment so they can get rid of some restrictions sooner.

  10. Other places with Chinatowns aren't fairing well so I doubt that has anything to do with it. Nice attempt to praise the country responsible for all this though.

  11.  @joetorres9892  I'm in one of the last states to get the virus. I've been isolated for a month. Your timeline doesn't add up. I'm looking back at news articles from early March talking about social distancing. I see some warning about stopping it in late March. Time had an article explaining what it means on March 11th. On March 15th there's one talking about how people are dealing with it. Trump extended social distancing at the end of March. So social distancing was being discussed in late February to early March. Group size was limited to 10 or less on March 16th so obviously we were talking about it and were encouraged to do it before then. The 13th was 50 or less and I know 100 or less was almost a week before that. I also know in New York when everyone else was doing 100 or less, they were told 500 or less. Don't remember if it was the Governor or the Mayor, but I knew that wasn't social distancing. Then again I didn't need an expert to tell me I'm high risk or to isolate.

  12. A lot of people are still working. So too late.

  13. There are 2 strains not 3. It has a slow mutation which means it was in China long before that poor Dr. rang the warning bell. The idea isn't to save everyone's life forever. It's to keep the cases numbers low enough to not completely overwhelm hospitals. When that happens, you become Italy where you have to decide who is most likely to survive with medical intervention. That doesn't only apply to Covid-19 patients, but to every patient that needs medical attention. Accident victims, shootings, heart attacks, etc. I guess you could just let everyone die, but the cost to the mental health of doctor and nurses would be tremendous, not to mention bankruptcies for hospitals from all the lawsuits.

  14. He said South Korea had the ability to lock it (the virus) down. Not the city.

  15. I'm sorry. I guess Democrats are great at pandemics. Whoops, no they aren't. 61 million got H1N1 with the majority being in round 2. That's okay he replaced the stockpile afterwards. Whoops again! No party is good at anything. Only individuals.

  16. It's too early to cheer Sweden yet. Other countries tried that too, but it didn't work.

  17. OMG! China gave great warning! China tried to hide it and imprisoned the doctor for reporting it. Then refused to allow WHO or anyone else in. They lied about the numbers and we know now almost everything they said about it was wrong. Doesn't infect the young, wrong. Mainly only kills the elderly, wrong. People on antimalarial drug immune, wrong (that's the latest one). They sent faulty tests and bad equipment to "help" countries like Italy and Spain. China knows wet markets are ripe for developing these types of viruses yet refuses to close them. This is the result. Every single death is blood on China's hands. Every. Single. One. I can not believe that you are trying to change history by blaming this on the US and Europe. We can see the DNA in the virus. We know where it came from. We also know the first case wasn't 3 months ago. It mutated in China which and has a slow mutation rate. That means it was there more than 3 months ago. I hope all these deaths are worth it. The world won't forget no matter how much disinformation you try to spread.

  18. You are an idiot. If it was in our flu shot why did it start in a wet market in China? By the way, several flu strains are coronavirus. That's just the shape of it.

  19. Social distancing was put in place before spring break. I'm in one of the last states to have a case. It hit here the week before ours. A lot ignored it and Florida didn't shut down the beaches, but it was against recommendations.

  20. Then don't take it and live off the grid in wilderness. You'll be safe from it and, more importantly, we'll be safe from you.

  21. There are recent studies that support that. When almost 25% of cases are asymptomatic, wearing a face covering of any kind will help slow the spread.
