Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

[Arjun]

This could have all been prevented; could have prevented this from entering the country. Tough measures simply weren’t taken. All it takes is one cough. cough

Travel restrictions should have been implemented on a global scale from the beginning.

By who? Emperor of Earth?

 

[Arjun]

By the League of Legends pun intended

Guidelines should have been placed by the WHO with agreement between the governments of affected countries

Alrightey then, Tom Hanks and wife now have it, in Australia. Oh, and this just in: the NBA season cancelled. Surely more to follow!

 

[Arjun]

I think we all are perplexed by the situation.
I know its not easy to say, but....

So when only 4 countries reported infections all 195 countries on Earth are going to agree? Earth can't even agree on climate change bro.

DAMN DAMN DAMN

[Arjun]

I think it was too late of a finding. This thing could have started way before it was even discovered. Time to make changes to how people are screened in and out of the country.

In particular, one key product, made by the diagnostics testing giant Qiagen, is in dwindling supply.

Maybe they can queue up when the store opens?

Apparently it's how you get toilet paper...

Yeah, that woulda been somethin'. I need to correct this: the season's "suspended," not cancelled.

 

[Q™]

BETTER TO WAIT AND ENTER MY "Win Covid-19 Wipes > Save Your Life!" QONTEST AND CROSS YOU FINGERS. However, it may take a while to select a winner and your ass is gonna be mighty sore by then bro.

 

[Arjun]

Yep, its says suspended 'till further notice. Playoffs are around the corner. I don't think there's much recourse in this time-frame. People are comparing this outbreak to 9/11.

Yeah, that woulda been somethin'. I need to correct this: the season's "suspended," not cancelled.

 

[Q™]

Should I Quarantine Because of Coronavirus? It Depends on Who You Ask.

Agencies, local authorities and national governments do not agree on who should be quarantined or what that should actually look like. Here’s what we do know.

www.propublica.org

...Travelers disembarking a plane from Rome to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City on Tuesday said they were not told that they needed to stay home for two weeks, despite a clear policy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying they should. A woman exposed to the coronavirus at a New York wedding was told by state officials she didn’t need to go into quarantine, even though county officials said she did. In fact, they thought the venue had already called and told her...

So let's get this straight. Virus breaks out in China, and reasonable precautions to limit spread from China to US are enacted, though with insufficient controls to actually make them work. Then nothing much happens for 6 weeks while pres touts great stock market performance, completely ignoring need to develop effective tests. Realizes it's going badly and puts Pence in charge as the public face, mostly for political reasons so he can hang a failure on him. Pence isn't stupid, realizes testing is critical and assembles the right corporate players to get testing up and running on the quick, and we already now (part way into the testing ramp) realize the virus not only is here, all over in most states, but probably has been for a while. Then, Pres decides to close the border with EU, ostensibly to prevent more cases coming in, but at this point it is already here and spreading faster than anything the occasional infected passenger is going to do.
The markets should be fun tomorrow, for sure.

This will go down in history as the biggest epidemic/pandemic botch in US history.

You forgot a couple of things. He banned travel from China on January 29 and was bad mouthed for by Joe Biden and other Democrats for doing. He had quarantine bases setup in this country for citizens who were coming back into the country with the coronavirus. He has banned travel from Japan and South Korea. In January President Trump had already set up committees and work with Congress in regards to the coronavirus. Now that countries such as Italy did not take those steps he is putting a travel ban on Europe but not Great Britain. You want to know what the Democrats were doing? There were trying to impeach President Trump.

Edit: One more thing President Trump has done is try to bring business back into the country including from China. That way we will not be so reliant on foreign made goods.
