Viruses cannot be killed with antibiotics. Viruses invade our cells and take over the command center of them. Depending on which type of cells the virus invades would determine how the virus affects us and how severe an epidemic could be.
In 1918, the virus invaded immune system cells. Those would strong immune systems became severely ill due to their own immune system turning against them because the virus was in control of the immune system cells.
IMO, the potential for an epidemic has been minimized in an attempt to calm the stock market.
??? Didn't "act like this is something brand new and never happened before." What gave you that idea? Apparently, trump is handling this exactly how president Woodrow Wilson handled the 1918 epidemic.
By blaming Trump rather than "the federal government" as an entity.
You see, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office, the federal government will do whatever it takes to keep the populace calm and to stave off fear and panic even if it takes lying to them to do that.
US workers in the service sector, those with the greatest exposure to the public like waiters, retail clerks, delivery, etc, typically have no insurance and little to no sick leave. So they will continue to work even when symptomatic and avoid medical treatment that they cannot afford. This will make the epidemic worse in the US than it is in more enlightened nations

With a 14 day to 28 day incubation period it won't matter because they would have played "Typhoid Mary" way before any symptoms start showing.
In fact that applies to anyone that has to work/go to school.
We have complete 472 tests in the US. That is it. There have been no materials. Now, there are 15000 says Pence two months into the pandemic. South Korea does that many in a couple days. Why was the Trump admin so asleep at the switch on this?

Two months ago it wasn't a pandemic.
Heck, one month ago there was only 2000 people in the world who were confirmed positive ... and 1900 were in Mainland China.
Doesn't matter. We should have been testing for this virus before this virus was even discovered.
Anything short of that is Trump's fault
/sarc off
I think at this point, it is what it is, and we gain nothing by political bickering.
This has the potential to be way more important than politics, and we should be sharing information, our personal expertise, and suggestions on keeping ourselves, friends and family safe.
