That is a pretty big f---king mistake. And it looks like it will costs a lot of lives and our economy. Ooops! Whelp, I guess the past is the past.
What do you want? What would make you happy? Jeez. Yes, Trump was terrible in the beginning. He seems to be coming around. Are you surprised? Look to your local leaders as they are the people who will really determine how your state/city fare. If we can all stay home and do our part this can be a 2 month blip and the economy will be back on the upswing 2nd half. Blaming and looking back will get you nowhere and real fast.
It’s costing more money not doing that. 16 hotels closed today because of where we are in the uncertainty. If the administration would lead us, put in mandatory isolation for everyone for a certain period of time, there will be an end in sight. There would be confidence for consumers in the nation. Right now nobody knows what’s going on or what to do.
Some poster here in this thread cited a 1938 law & subsequent amendments about the FDA approval process that made us create our own tests rather than use WHO's tests.
Then the test we created got hung up in the FDA approval process. That bottleneck got opened when Pense got named. Then private lab created tests got hung up in the FDA fast track approval process (Mayo Clinic), etc. (fast track and the Fed is an oxymoron !)
A sea of red tape of regulated approvals. Basically we regulated ourselves into a corner.
Now why they couldn't just skip all that crap "national emergency" is beyond me.
Because the empty suit in charge was asleep at the wheel, too busy trying to make scapegoats of the media and the Democrats to pay attention to the crisis developing in front of him. And now we are likely to be worse off than Italy.
Technology-wise it probably would not be that difficult to find large groups of people in a limited space. Trying to track individuals on any great scale would probably overwhelm whatever system they could develop. I guess they could try to track people who are supposed to be in quarantine.
Well I'm just gonna leave my phone in the bathroom then...24/7

Jack Ma offered half a million tests to the US. I'd like to know if we accepted them.
We are way over regulated. That was/is a big problem. Can’t act fast when you need to jump through 50 hoops first.
This ad is how I perceive what happened....now that everybody is just wanting to look forward.....no need to look back at what could be one of the biggest f*** ups in this country's history.
A doctor whose name I did not get on MSNBC said we are probably 15 days behind in getting true numbers on the tests. The numbers look bad in the US how they are increasing in total cases. Everyday more than the last. But the 6400 total cases currently listed for us is way less than what we have.
All the finger pointing in the word isn't going to fix that. If you don't like the leadership we currently have, there's an election for that coming up.
