    Wow at the detailed stats part way through this pandemic !!

    Yet the most prepared was little south Korea . Absolutely amazing and llaudable.

    That nation has its act together. With a very cooperative society.

    They should be given some award by the world with great fanfare. Humanity should always praise such achievements.

    I hope this happens in some manner. And a world that does not do that is a POS world imo.

    We have no federal level response team for pandemic disasters such as we do have for hurricanes, etc. That's one big problem that we can correct, but will take more time than we have for this disaster.

    For this disaster, we need to create a serous national response. There is NO element of national response that is adequate today, very obviously.

    I am astounded when some people react negatively to measures taken at the local , state and federal level to slow down the rise of infections so our medical system can handle it and not lose Americans due to being overwhelmed .

    Some people are concerned our govt will make such actions an institution like those national security acts that make us look like china or at least moving in that direction .

    This is understandable. Yet in ww2 it looked like the constitution was set aside . But we had better people in power and at war's end we became a republic again. With a cconstitution.
    Today we cannot trust the men of oligarchy to give up powers.

    With that said govt has a big role in minimizing deaths of citizens. Protecting Americans from a life taking pandemics. Just as govt protects us from being invaded by life taking agents .

    If so many of us were not of low iq and irresponsible govt would not have to protect the smart people from the less intelligent and irresponsible.

    He might sound great now but the truth is, he didn't prepare his state for this knowing New York would be the first or heaviest hit with any man made catastrophe. He even had respirators stored and sitting on a shelf he either wasn't aware of or just wanted to make a political statement of a shortage, basically blaming Fema and Trump when there wasn't a shortage at that time.

    We all hope you are right !

    Didnt sars kill people and then more or less went away instead of big outbtreaks returning like the flu? The US is a large land mass nation and our rural areas may not see the infection rates of our big urban areas where people are crammed together like factory livestock farms.

    Yet this spread some say may last until July .

    I just hope we are as prepared for the next novel virus better than the current one. Which means bringing back supply chains to our nation and people. Will elite greed risk national security again? By saying comparitive advantage is the god we serve and national security isnt more important than max profits for the top 1 percent ?

    The major climate factor will be the warming days of Spring and Summer.

    If the weather makes the virus susceptible to dryness and warmth, then it will end sooner than later.

    The problems then are still to protect our vulnerable if hotspot outbreaks occur; to work on a good vax; and to stock up for the coming cold season.

    Trump tweeted Monday that there is a “light at the end of the tunnel,” following a series of grim warnings about this week’s expected death toll from coronavirus.

    “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL,” Trump tweeted Monday. “USA STRONG!”

    The president warned over the weekend that this week “will probably be the toughest week.”

    SURGEON GENERAL WARNS THIS WEEK WILL BE OUR 'PEARL HARBOR MOMENT' AS COVID-19 DEATH TOLL EXPECTED TO RISE

    I may not know what Trump meaning that there a light at the end of the tunnel. It's that I don't see it and there is still no end in sight in this COVID-19 yet or not this week anyway or perhaps at least the next two weeks. This may be the worst week this week. Who knows what next week will bring or next month they would be much worse that this week. Who knows and who's to say?

    Why would Trump say that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Does anyone believe Trump?

    Dr. Birx; "There will be plenty of time to go back after this is over and analyze what could have been better"

    FIRST LESSON......comes from up North

    British Columbia, Canada

    PRIOR to JAN 21ST, British Columbia's Centre for Disease Control developed their own diagnostic test for the new coronavirus, and was ready for mass testing, hardly no delays, no flaws.

    THIS CANADIAN PROVINCE WAS READY FOR MASS TESTING ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THEIR FIRST CONFIRMED CASE.

    Coronavirus: British Columbia is testing for Covid-19 faster per head than South Korea, even at its peak
    • 3,500 Covid-19 tests are being conducted in the Canadian province daily, the health minister says, a rate that easily exceeds South Korea’s rate per capita
    • The tests are being conducted at triple the rate of the rest of Canada

    BBC has just announced that Johnson has been moved to Intensive Care with a possibility that he may later need to be put on a Ventilator. His condition had worsened over this afternoon.

    If we had this attitude one sees coming from some trump haters and pathological partisans we would have defeated ourselves in ww2.

    Our ancestors were tougher people with fortitude . Can you imagine how we would be if we were in a world war and the outcome was unknown with no guarantee we would win?

    Totally false, but don't let that get in the way of your anti-Trump narrative.
