The fact that the US was slow on testing resulted in a massive failure narrative for Trump. There are hundreds of posts in this thread blaming Trump because the CDC botched their test.

That's pretty much the biggest factors. Him verbally not taking it serious is different from the actions he took. And the things he said isn't enough to make a strong case against him and that's why you have bullshit lies about what he said. With continued finger pointing towards Trump because of the CDC failures.

i do hope behind the scenes hes doing more then he lets on. I believe trump wants to make this right and he doesnt want people to die obviously

The pilot friend I had that got it while staying is Spain waiting to fly the plane back got it, tested and confirmed positive.
He and his family self quarantined but then, the breath went out of him completely and he had to get a scan of his lungs.
He is doing much better. His kid got tested + but never had a big problem, just went in with respiratory difficulty and came right back out. The rest of the family, 4 people show no clear symptoms, but they are not feeling well.
No tests for them.

Hope your bunch gets better.

60M got H1N1 is 2009-2010.

Why would more apparently more transmissible covid-19 infect fewer?

say 60M get it, if 1% die, that's 600K dead.

Trump administration won't compel corporations to produce medical supplies—because of 'conservatism'

With every passing hour of this pandemic, the shortage of medical equipment—as hospitals prepare for a massive influx of sick Americans—becomes more acute, and the need for such equipment and supplies becomes more dire.

"I only signed the Defense Production Act to combat the Chinese Virus should we need to invoke it in a worst-case scenario in the future," he tweeted, adding that

”Hopefully there will be no need, but

we are all in this TOGETHER!." :lol

that species of American blinded by a political ideology that abhors the very idea of government actually helping its people.

Trump’s advisers have privately said they are adhering to longstanding conservative opposition to big government,

a view that reflects the administration’s conflicted view of how it should handle a crisis unlike any a modern president has faced.”

March 21, Trump acknowledged in his daily press conference that he still had not taken any measures under the Act.

It will be important for Americans to hold this moment forever in their memories.

The nationalization of a few select corporations could have alleviated untold suffering among a huge swath of the American population,

preventing an agonizing death for many of them, but

there were people in this administration who believed it was

more important to allow those same corporations the freedom to do whatever they want—

including doing nothing, if they wished.

They believed it was better to let thousands of Americans suffer and die than to repudiate—even for a moment—their “free-market” ideology.

What makes you think it's more transmissible than any other coronavirus?

The normies on the left and right are completely okay with this. Idiots. Morons. Give me Coronavirus over this shit anytime of day.

Here’s why Florida spring breakers could be ‘super-spreaders’ of COVID-19 coronavirus

“For much of this week, revelers continued to cram four and five to a hotel room,

swarm beaches over hundreds of miles of coastline, and

then gather shoulder-to-shoulder in bars and clubs –

almost a model process for spreading contagious diseases.”

most spring breakers will return to hometowns across the country

where any exposure to coronavirus could set off a contagion,

“What is happening in Florida with

spring break partying-on by students oblivious to the epidemiological implications

of their actions is nothing short of tragic,” Gonsalves said.

“While many of us have been hunkering down to try to break the chains of infection in our communities,

these young people have decided the pleasures of the moment are worth

bringing back the coronavirus to their friends and family.”

Florida’s spring break could be a “super-spreading” event.

“The students who are going and partying at spring break potentially are

feeding into a world where they are stuck in their houses for weeks on end later on,”

I never said covid was harder to get? And...

I am going to assume less than 1% die.
But the big cities might help to prove me "dead" wrong in the overall stats.
And these numbers will never be accurate, just hope they are accurate enough so this does not happen again.
Because this is big not only because of the medical implications, but because of our reaction.
We will have a better picture of what we overreacted to and did not react quick enough or could just not see coming.

R0 is a little smaller than SARS. SARS was 2-5 reproductions per people infected. COVID-19 is 1.4-3.9.

On the other hand, it's more transmittable than the flu, for example, which sits at 0.9–2.1.

Posted in another thread I disagree with this.

I think once the health officials get corona and get antibodies, they can come back and help us without needing too to be worried of getting the virus.

I think we're 6 to 8 months from getting back to normal.

There will be a big spread quickly but it will slow down in 2 months but we're still going to see huge infection numbers. p

The problem is that health officials become spreaders but then they can become immune if once they survive. :lol

I'm just talking about the US here.

What worries me is that the orange shit administration has had this information and didn't prep for any of this bull shit. Fucking hell. :makemyday

More like a year. Corona is here to stay - although maybe in waves - until there is a vaccine.

The whole world is looking for a vaccine. I think we get one in 4 months and have production out by 7-8 months.

Possible antibodies and treatments will be out there.
