I hope you’re kidding. You mean plans like Italy, Spain or France etc had in place?
Have you seen their numbers???
Exactly, most of the world was caught with their pants down. Sighting small island nations that can easily lock down with comparatively small populations like Taiwan and Singapore to the US is no comparison.
From a medical professional with first hand local experience today... also note that an estimated 43% of the people in the Bronx have already been infected.

Correct. We can control ships docking on our coastlines, air traffic landing at our airports and crossings on our northern border.
We have no way to monitor crossings of our southern border.
This puts the death rate at 0.6%, which is most likely still inflated because all deaths due to natural causes are being attributed to COVID right now.
Talk about bad information! This is absolutely not true.
Please quote the guideline that states all deaths due to natural causes should be attributed to COVID-19.

You will have to take my word for it for now, but my information is correct and will eventually be brought to light. I'm no info wars conspiracy theorist. If anything, the people now clinging to many of the initial inaccurate statistics and probabilities seem to be denying the obvious. It is becoming clear that we overreacted, which is perfectly fine. Better that than to under react. Now the curve is flat and the hospitals never got overrun. It's time to responsibly get back to our lives.
Your "inside knowledge" is false. Whoever your inside source is has probably never filled out a death certificate.
If you think NY hospitals did not get overrun why are they storing corpses is refrigerated trucks until mortuaries can pick them up?

The CDC guidelines you posted are out dated. I'm talking about a NYS antibody study from this week. A second one published today makes the rate even lower with an estimated 41% of the population in the Bronx already infected. I don't understand why people are fighting on this point. These are published studies with the news links in this thread and still you insist I'm making it up.
The hospitals were indeed very busy, however they were not overrun and nobody was denied medical care due to lack of resources. These are facts, not feelings. Feel free to prove me wrong with an actual source. You can't.
Lastly, I am my own source on that inside knowledge and I am 100% certain that almost all deaths due to natural causes (at home and at hospitals) are being attributed to COVID. This has inflated the number of deaths by roughly 20%. It really isn't relevant to the larger issue here though anyway. The death rate is still much lower than we initially were led to believe.
