China has been lying and under reporting their cases from the start. I think we should up their reported number by a factor of 10."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

The US is not much different than China in handling this response.
We could have learned something, but we looked at the mistakes and mis steps China made, and then duplicated those mistakes.

Originally posted by simplicio View PostWell, considering that we knew that we were dealing with a serious epidemic, the US took in citizens which were exposed, then took no isolation protocols. One does not need to be an epidemiologist to know that infected people should not wander around an airport.

Yes, China lied, China covered-up, just like Mexico covered-up the swine flu, but covering up has nothing to do with the response after the cover-up is uncovered. And no, things are not going the best they could, if you want to see the best they could've gone, look to the results of S. Korea's fast response with respect to testing and containing. They didn't have to shut down the economy and pay out trillions in bailouts either.Last edited by JimL; 04-05-2020, 01:01 PM.
