Why the US has so much trouble with COVID-19

Look guys I got to run. Got better things to do. Like updating my journal here on ET for all the SIM traders that read it. LOL

Just wear masks, watch distance with people. Stay home as much as possible. Drink some beer or liquor to kill the bugs in the innards. Wash hands. Plant a garden to have something productive to do and some healthy food to eat. Bid your time. Go fishing. It will pass. Things will get better. It isn't the end of the world nor the end of the USA. Even though our experts are really ...really confused and lost. It will all come out in the wash. The virus is not Mr T's fault. Understand that. It is worldwide. He personally didn't spread it. Quit blaming him. Rest. Things will get better. Life will go on. Mr T will win again. Tears will be shed but it won't be the end of the world if he wins. In a few more years and the other side will get another chance to LOSE AGAIN.

You got this thing about sewing my own mask. No thanks to OrangeMan, there is no longer a mask shortage. But let's keep it voluntary whether to wear one because we don't want the snowflakes getting rowdy. Meanwhile if things don't improve here in Florida and Arizona and Texas we might once again have a ventilator and ICU space shortage. Which it what people should be getting rowdy about.

But glad to hear you are ROFL'ng.

Where did them mask come from? You trust 'em?

People in Fl won't stay home. Won't make a garden. Won't watch their distance with other people. Won't stop going to bars and restaurants..won't this ..won't that...so now they got to live with their decisions. Don't blame Mr T. It is the people.

I have two cotton masks and yes I do trust good old cotton, wherever it was grown and sewn together in another country. Same as most (likely all) of my clothes. Although I did lol first consider gargling with clorox as a first line of defense.

But people in FL won't ... because OrangeMan jr in Tallahassee won't mandate and enforce it, like states up north did. Otherwise how do you explain numbers dropping in states that did this?

Because the leaders in the US think that there is nothing that they can learn from the rest of the world.

Most Asian countries now have COVID well under control because they all wear masks outside. Not the US. We are too busy fighting for our right to not have to wear a mask.

Uh.....you might want to look into Hong Kong, Thailand, various provinces in China, Australia (Melbourne) before you jump to that conclusion.

Why the US has so much trouble with covid19 ? Because there is an over abundance of stupid in the US. Common sense, isn't as common as it used to be. Arrogance and self entitlement seems to be the prevailing attitude. Pekelo is correct, we had the perfect warning(Wuhan) and a window into what would happen if covid19 found its way here. The instant we found out that 5 million people had left Wuhan before their lockdown, we should have blocked all travel from at least Asia. Instead, our leaders literally imported the virus via cruise ships and air travel. The passengers from one cruise ship were transferred to an airforce base outside of Sacramento, taken care of by military medical staff in a secure and sparsely populated location. The Fed and the CDC actually wanted transfer some of those patients to a densely populated area of Orange County. Are you F...ing kidding me!!! You can't make this shit up. A much better solution would have been for the Fed to rent vacant Hotels in Asia and Europe, turn them into pseudo mash units, and let the patients get well there. It's like a bunch of high school kids are running the country.

We were told by the WHO that it 'doesn't transmit from human to human.' Then it was, 'there is no need for a mask.' (Fauci) Then it was, well there is no reason to believe it will come here, based upon SARS. (CDC)

So there is all of that I suppose.

It's a little late for the blame game...China, WHO, Trump, Governors, Hospitals...

How they get up will either save more or kill more.

Regardless, its a constant changing landscape when new diseases enter the global population. What you know today will be different tomorrow and what you know tomorrow will be different than what you know next month.

It usually takes about one year before global health officials can unanimously agree on commonalities that's easily supported by statistics.

I remember when the CDC (not the WHO) first notice HIV in young gay white males. Like wild fire in the news media...only gays can get HIV. Soon after that it was reported as a cancer.

It took about one year before they knew all the facts about how it was spread and that it was in the global blood supply. In fact, it took them about 1 1/2 years to realize that infants can become infected with HIV even through a heterosexual mother.

That's when the fear went to a new level...very fast.

Early on WHO and Fauci goofed. Since, it has been all on Chumpie and particular red state gubs.

Oh, so its all politics. You are probably one of the truly enlightened inclusive people out there thay preach 'tolerance', but only for those that agree w/ you. Also, look at the worst hit: NYC, LA, SF, Chicago.....all bastions of conservative values I am sure. But its ok, because "My gang better than yours."

Anyway:


Anyone else find it odd that nobody on this forum can do statistical analysis? The rate of death is minute to say the least. Also, if it is so contagious, they will be NO STOPPING IT. Also, look how much NYC was locked down, and where I live in Ohio, we have been seeing varying degrees of lock downs. Its all bullshit quite frankly.

The only thing that is consistently dying is the businesses out there. Anyway, back to life, I don't have time to live in fear. I am not sure exactly which one of you plan on living forever, but I have bad news for you...
