I just have to ask regarding CV outbreak.
What country did better than the US?
Seems the whole world wasn't ready for this?
Maybe just add US to the pile?
The Good News.
Things may be leveling out.
Let us pray so.

Taiwan, Iceland, S Korea, Germany, N Zealand.
The US & S Korea both reported their 1st cases of COVID-19 on the exact same day in January. S Korea was smart about. They immediately mobilized their entire society. They were super proactive & aggressively tested ppl. South Korea’s CDC-approved its first diagnostic test quickly & by the end of Feb., drive-thru testing facilities that screened thousands of people a day were in operation. In contrast the US has still not gotten their act together w the testing. SK implemented an efficient screening process for travelers. My neighbours are from SK, they were on the plane there for a funeral when SK had the confirmed case. When they arrived they had their temperatures taken, history taken, were asked about any coughing or sneezing, they were registered. When they flew into the US afterwards into Orlando, they did nothing. No provisions.
Donald Trump has bragged now about banning travel from China but most of the major airlines had done that b4 he made the "ban." Don't even have time to go through all the alternative facts he's given about that now.
He continued to play golf, play on Twitter. Proxies of his like Rush Limbaugh spread conspiracy theories about it, downplaying it. Just look back through stuff Americans posted in Jan through early March. The irony is that Trump's own supporters wrote out a ton of stuff that is now part of the archive showing how his rhetoric caused ppl to downplay & minimize. Like just talking about it being a global public health crisis caused ppl to get offended, get belligerent about saying that more ppl die in car crashes & of the flu. What Trump said at that rally is preserved in the historical archives in total infamy. Trump supporters harassed public health officials. There was a super stupid conspiracy that this was all political revenge bc one of the doctors is the sister of Rod Rosenstein.
Trump tweeted almost 900 times in February but mentioned the coronavirus just 20 times
China & Italy made major mistakes that Trump turned around & repeated like muzzling of experts, downplaying the severity, not being prepared. The US had the total advantage of time, the advantage of seeing what was happening in China & Italy & Trump choose to squander it. If stronger action had been taken just 2 weeks sooner so many lives would have been saved. This is what epidemiological analysts have said.
South Korea Offers a Lesson in Best Practices
The United States May Be Left With Only the Most Invasive of Them
Here's the test.
Which country knew they had a Coronavirus problem yet, let airplanes takeoff from their airports to all parts of the world?
If you haven't heard
looks like they are going to be in big trouble.

You understand that COVID19 won’t go away once we finally determine “who’s fault it was”, right?Here's the test.

Why bother quoting her post if you're going to ignore everything in it and change the subject?Here's the test.

What?Do u think airplanes just fly in 1 direction?
Remember Go Braves from here? His parents both work for Delta. Delta was pushing for action WAY b4 Trump took any.
Trump can make every desperate attempt he wants to try to divert attn away from his own failures & to gaslight & revise history but it's going to work. Other wrongs elsewhere in the world don't at all release him from his massive failures that lead to ppl dying.

It's not your money; so why do you care-?
Give my regards to Stanfordella.I'm friends IRL w Stanfordella who had been on here. She decided to close her account. Her professor is the former presidential envoy to defeat ISL & has worked in three presidential administrations. He worked for the Trump administration for 2 yrs.
This is what he said

She helped make an app w coronavirus resources, she learned the myths that have gone viral to be able to address them. Trump is at fault for a lot of those myths. If you just look back through stuff posted online by Trump supporters in Jan & Feb. you'll see how his rhetoric influenced ppl majorly. Some stuff has now been removed, but it was screenshot & archived. She also wrote a paper that is getting published!!!!!! about Trump's decisions w the NSC & how that severely worsened the US response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Turns out the "socialist idiots" told the White House about the threat of the coronavirus at the end of last year.We do not need WHO & should cut off funding. These idiots are socialists.

Fore!Turns out the "socialist idiots" told the White House about the threat of the coronavirus at the end of last year.
So who's the idiot. The people warning of an impending viral threat ... or the ones ignoring it and going golfing?
Not without "gubment" money...Folks the WHO is not going to be the one to find the cure, the anti-viral, or vaccine. That will come from the private sector.

Whose money is it then? It's called taxpayers' money.
