Look at Y2K. Everyone said that was a bust..the world didn't crumble.
Every programmer worldwide thinks differently. It was a success.
1999 was a year of overtime and pouring through thousands upon thousands of lines of code.
It was a proactive, preventative movement by governments and corporations, many of them banding together in global teams.

Of course it was seen as a "bust" by the public because...nothing happened.

if nobody enforced the order, you would see more cases like this one.

California "ordered" all seniors over 65 to stay home. LOL Yeah?

Order? Good luck with that.

you are so right, the world can burn but they will still need their regularly scheduled international vacation.

we should all close our borders. This seems to be the only way.This is nothing personal.

and people are all super sensitive towards this subject, many take it so personally, I don't know why.
Because racism. We've been brainwashed that it is all about that, again if the world burns so be it, let our last breathing words be "see I wasn't racist".

I think WHO was the last one to finally admit it but they are the ones that count, not anyone else.

Why are you laughing ? Is your memory that short ?

agreed!

All the technology in the world will not save us. Only we can save ourselves.

Hopefully, the summer heat will slow this down and we will have a vaccine next year. I just don't know how we as a human family containing this virus.

He didn't shut down flights from China, he put a travel ban on all foreigners coming to the U.S. from China. Americans in China were free to come and go without interruption. How much good did that do?

WHO just declared it a Pandemic just in the last 7 days IIRC.

They were the last to call it what it was.

Odd analogy. Y2K was just a technical issue, not a deadly disease.
