Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Do you blame the leadership in those two states?

I blame population density and unchecked international travel, mainly. I guess New Jersey is somewhat collateral damage.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Partly because even as yesterday those morons in those states aren't staying in their damn houses. I said it before, dense population...dense population.

I'm not watching but picking up from Twitter that the press conference today is mostly serious. As in, what they should have had one month ago.

Nah, a month ago we were supposed to be at or close to 0 cases, because it was under control.

The hospitals are to blame as much as the states are.

Very true. One dude..Seth Myers..apparently doesnt have anywhere to do his show but on a small table in his hallway. Its just..bad. Just show reruns. No one cares that you guys aren't on.

They can’t find anything worth rerunning is the problem

Then New York said "Hold my appletini"..

Quarantining the area doesn't seem like a bad idea, to me. Might be too late, though.

I was just saying earlier today..... if we had better press conferences this would all be over

we are the world's number 1 in total cases. So spin that. You bypassed trump's claim that by easter the easter bunny would be free to hop around as well as us Americans. Or 2 months ago it was all good. He knows the economy gets you reelected so he focused on that. Now hes like well ****, coronavirus is worse than I thought. He dropped the ball.

All I heard him say is that he hoped we would be able to open things back up by Easter. Maybe he said what you claim but the times I heard him reference Easter he did not say what you claim.

Too bad there was no leadership at the city/state level.

As a fed I'm going to give everyone a piece of advice. Dont wait for the federal government to do something. Reactive..not proactive.

He's raising communists? How is that good?

They act as a poignant reminder. We need sad, defeated remnants of communism lest we forget the dangers of communism.

"Keep Calm" Dr Birx has become "Debbie Downer" for some.

The AOCs of the world are proof that 'we' have forgotten.

So now all the stuff the US was saying about other countries a few weeks ago, states are saying about NY and NJ. Yes, there are more cases than the rest of the country. Also, 25% of all people tested in the US have been from NY/NJ. So, more testing, more cases. Just like we were saying about China, then Italy, then Spain.....except now its NY and NJ.

So I guess a doctor in Nashville says Lee has not gone far enough and he wants “shelter in place” orders. How exactly is that different than what we have now? Most everything is closed that doesn’t sell food or stuff to fix your home. Even many outdoor spaces have been shut down. The people I’ve seen at the grocery store are loaded down, not buying a couple items with plans to be back tomorrow. Just seems like semantics at this point.

Home delivery from Aldi for the win. Grandkiddo had a few special requests that I’m tickled I was able to come through on

I feel for you man, but the amount of dead folks say that the amount of tests aren't the determining factor in all of this.

Oh, now.. Pence just said "it was there earlier than anyone could have known."

But Trump said he knew it was a pandemic before the experts. I guess shouldn't have sat on his prophetic wisdom.. smh

other connecting states could lock down their borders, but nobody seems to think anyone else has the authority

Like I said. I am a fed. Do not expect any sort of proactive response. Ever. I deal with aircraft crashes. Reflect on the Boeing issues...
