You state China has cases leveling off, I state why that is (the 6 week lockdown they’ve endured). That’s it. The cases aren’t leveling off because of inaction.
You must not be reading what you have typed all day (I also know its been a long day for you), praising China for there actions, yet there inaction is what allowed it to escape the country.

Again....another fact. We don't know how long this was out in Wuhan without being discovered.

i've seen guys not wash their hands in the casino restroom and go back on the floor. you'd think going there would build up immunity to coronavirus.

Just to put a little perspective on it, first hand. I know I don't post much.

My wife and I flew out of JFK yesterday to Lisbon, then Madeira. There were not many people wearing masks, or cleaning surfaces, I would estimate 6-7%, at absolute most between the two.

Most of the people who were wearing masks were doing it absolutely incorrectly. I was kind of hoping people would cancel so I could get "poor man's business class", but no such luck. It was a full flight.

I think people are being mindful of keeping clean, washing their hands, covering coughs, etc. but honestly right now I do not see anything approaching a pandemic, but that is my limited experience. That's the benefit I can see from the media exposure.

I’m not praising them. Literally just stating why the cases are leveling off.

Yes, we actually do know how long it was out, when it was discovered, the date Hubei went on lockdown, how many reported cases they had at time of lockdown.

We literally know all of this stuff.

YOU may not know, but it doesn’t take a lot to find out.

The only thing I can figure out is people must be worried they'll be trapped in their homes for weeks on end. Nobody wants that to happen and suddenly run out of TP on day 3.

I had to go to the Dallas VA hospital today. They had people at thetanding at the entrance stopping everyone. We were made to read a sign asking if we have traveled, any flu or cold symptoms, etc. We had to tell the person No before being let in.

Trump just closed Europe. No one allowed to enter the US from Europe for 30 days.

Why is the President overreacting and spreading fear? It’s just the flu and he didn’t ban my commute to work

I would hope not, for my dog's sake. But we will see. I have received no notifications.

Just trying to give perspective from me.

Went out tonight with Brits from Cornwall, lovely people.

The actions of others don't justify anything dude. This is all still so very LOL.

Wait and learn more I guess. Not sure if Israel is included either (as my brother in law had planned to come back to our house Saturday).

We'll see.
