There are a couple of problems. The first is that nobody is quite sure just how the disease transmits. Whilst the Chinese claim its going down there nobody really knows, and all anybody seems to know is that you can catch it but there may be no evidence of it on the person you supposedly got it from. Add in that there is still no test for it in the United States and it will take over a year for the FDA to ok it even if we have one right now. Remember too that this one was changing as it was ripping through China. There is also no reason to assume it can't do that again. There is also no cure and no shot.

I guess the main problem is that nobody really knows that much about corona virus. This tends to convince me that there is, really, no idea of how we should guard against something nobody knows much about in the first place. The best idea, therefore, is to believe our dear leader, Donald the Horrible when he tells us that HE has it all under control and not to worry but buy stock now.

Its also kinda heartwarming to understand that Trump fired the people who - On reflection you can read all about the Genius of Tripp'n Trump here: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/3...states-public-health-emergency-response/

You might pass the word as the Dems, in their infinite wisdom have chosen to beat the hell out of each other rather than pointing out just how incredibly incompetent Trump actually is. Then, of course, we all get to die............
