Hong Kong basically shut down all mass gatherings including theme parks and schools within days of their first case. The were immediately testing and quarantining to stop the spread.
We did not do this.
This is incorrect, this article has a time line of the virus in Hong Kong and it's response
Um...I was expecting the ‘don’t panic’ response to be based on something more like...this is no different than any of the other ‘health scares’ like SARS, swine flu, Ebola etc... Very, very minimal impact on deaths
^^^^This. It is the Media/Democrat alliance creating the panic and coercing the reaction we are seeing.
What are your qualifications for disputing these claims??
Your GED and a healthy dose of Fox News??
This is a GLOBAL pandemic affecting countries around the world being reported on by news agencies around the world with death tolls rising AROUND the world...
Obviously every news agency world wide reporting on this crisis and every world leader making the tough decisions Trump couldn't or wouldn't make are just doing this to bring down Trump...
It's a global conspiracy spearheaded by Democrats and CNN with world wide buy in of the plot....
Wow....the lengths Trump supporters will go to is really something to see...
Hey bucko, I’m not the one making outrageous claims about things I know nothing about.
But I do have a masters degree in a STEM field, thanks for asking
What I do know is there are 330 million people in this country and virtually nobody has become infected and a meaningless number of people have died.
I’ll make a new thread 2 weeks from now when we are all still breathing. Might want to start preparing good excuses and deflections now.
What about South Korea? They are democratic and a US ally. I would trust the numbers coming out of there.
Still way too early to say. over 200 new cases today. It does look promising, however they did a insane amount of testing of people. 4 days ago they had tested 189,000 people. The US? less then 10K it appears. South Korea can test more people in a day then we have in months, and that has been credited with their ability to slow this down.
Where are all the corona virus/covid 19 tests that Trump promised?
You want to mitigate a pandemic then the first thing you need to do is to test and see who is infected. And yet we are one of the worst in the world at this point in terms of testing. That is a direct failure of the Trump administration not taking this seriously and now being caught with their pants down (something that has happened to Trump often). Where are the millions of tests that were supposed to be out this week? We haven’t even tested 10,000 people yet, something that South Korea is doing daily.
America has failed to meet the capacity for coronavirus testing that it needs, a top public health official publicly acknowledged Thursday.
"The system is not really geared to what we need right now," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a House hearing about coronavirus test kits in the United States, which were initially dogged by technical glitches. "That is a failing. Let's admit it."
Even our top public health official is saying it’s a failure. Sad.
