I think they should put all of the conspiracy theorists (including you) together on an island with a Covid-19 positive individual and only one of you have a medical mask while all are singing together and holding hands that its just a "common cold". wrbtrader
If they provide the beer (preferably Corona's) and some beach towels, I'm game. We'll just eat the casualties you down?
This is what I believe is that latest re South Korean Travel Restrictions courtesy the NY Times. South Korea South Korea has restricted the entry of travelers with passports from China’s Hubei Province as well as anyone who has visited that region in the past 14 days. Additionally, Korean visas that were issued to travelers in Hubei are canceled. Visa-free entry to Jeju Island for all foreigners, as well as visa-free entry for Chinese nationals and travelers who are headed to China, are both suspended.
The reason why Korea was so proactive in testing everyone from the beginning was because they went through both SARS and MERS, which apparently USA had no experience with other than hearsay. Going forward, I have no doubt USA will be alert and proactive with future pandemics.
You don't need to go through something to be able to plan for it. America needs to get tougher with it's Pandemic Response. It just overtook the world in Coronavirus cases and will soon overtake the world in Deaths. Quarantine Measures that other Countries are Doing but America doesn't 1. Temperature checks of people on the Street by Police & Security 2. Widespread Thermal Imaging of citizens coming through Airports 3. Public Disclosure of Afflicted people with location 4. Tracking Wristbands for infected Coronavirus people 5. Using troops to spray disinfectant on Coronavirus hotspots
I'll have a nearby cruise ship send you a case of La Cagole beer. Better tasting than Corona and it will not cause conspiracy theorists to resort to cannibalism.
Well, Trump obviously downplayed it at first. Now the country is paying a hefty fee (or fine) for his mistake. Hopefully, they won't be so slow to respond next time.
True for next time. But there's still time to pivot and change your response for this current crisis.
Yes, everyday that goes by without adequate response means many more ill and thousands more dead than necessary. it is time to get busy ramping up testing and protective gear in all 50 states. Every day's delay is costly. State by State variable approach with States bidding against other States and FEMA is lunacy! Meanwhile the Pentagon is reportedly sitting on thousands of undeployed ventilators.
I wonder why Sweden does not think movement restrictions are necessary. I can't get the CNN story URL to show up. Search for "Sweden Covid-19 response" and you will see a CNN story plus others on the lack of Swedish lock down. I think most of the Chinese success was due to using scanning thermometers to find people to test and isolate and trace contacts. China required a termperature scan when leaving and entering residental complexes and stores. People want to know if they need medical help because they may have Covid-19. Covid-19 is contagious for on average 4 days before symptoms (usually mild) develop. Therefore thermometers are only approximate but enough to lower the overall number of viruses in the environment. One needs to assume that Chinese virus tests were only 30% correct, so the temperature scans work as well.
