Coronavirus hits 40,000 in China. Think what’s going to happen when it catches fire in India.
If I had been president, I would have had non-hostile no blame respectful communication with China offering the full support of the American government to do whatever it takes to contain the virus in China. I would’ve implemented open and respectful coordination between the US and Chinese scientific community. I would’ve had the same teams that contained ebola and modeled a response after the world effort to contain and eliminate small pox differentiated for corona. Countries that had successfully dealt with SARS and MERS would have also been on the team. There would’ve been a cooperative global effort to get on the same page and to respect and emulate the Chinese response.

I doubt I would’ve waited until Feb. 1 because unlike Trump I’d be taking CDC and WHO organization briefings and advice very seriously and I’d have competent people in charge of homeland security not just a bunch of stupid yes men lackeys. And there would be universal nutrition, housing, and health care in place. And the military would’ve had a plan in place to react to a biological agent because it’s the most ****ing predictable form of terrorism there is. So the plan to lockdown safely with food and medicine ready for distribution would have already been set and ready to go.

Hawk, I get your point but I think you're being too black and white about it. The growth of things like viruses is not my field of mathematics, but saying that exponential growth is in principle uncontrollable is not true. How bad it is in case of the virus I don't know; I've barely looked at the statistics to avoid depression. But my main point is, keeping absolutely everyone inside would cause as much, or more, risk. What about doctors, nurses firefighters, etc? There is more work which is absolutely necessary than you might realise. That doesn't mean the governments haven't done a very bad job at handling the virus though

166,000 deaths and probably 20 times that with permanent health concerns is definitely a problem. And we just getting rolling.

But the most important thing is to hate China. Whatever happens China bad.

5000 covid deaths compared to 160,000 but China bad so bad

On 28 September 2018, Trump signed the Department of Defense appropriations bill. The approved 2019 Department of Defense discretionary budget is $686.1 billion.[32] It has also been described as "$617 billion for the base budget and another $69 billion for war funding."
How the **** is there no response ready for a biological attack?

We only needed a makeshift infrastructure for a few weeks because the virus needs a vector.

And anything that grows exponentially and kills people and needs a host to survive - it absolutely is that simple.

Love ya bud, but if those numbers were swapped around you'd be saying "Well, the virus originated in the U.S. so they're responsible for every death worldwide. They should have contained it better. It isn't China's fault!"

And I’d be right.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.
