This virus got loose in the worst country in the world. I think if it had happened in Africa...Africa would have handled things a lot better.

China hasn’t been forthcoming and I don’t expect President Trump to be either tonight.

I was out this afternoon to pickup a few items and it was weird doing some people watching, what was being bought, and there was a palpable nervous tension. If someone coughed...everyone looked.

The announcement yesterday really woke people up. The panic has already started and the democrats are going to fuel it. My point being the exercise we did 2 years ago demonstrated in the event of something like this, there’s little to prepare for or to do. It is a virus and quarantine is all we really have against it.

See the link Dr. Bruce Aylward. This doctor is well-regarded, and is not beholden to the WHO, and is giving his account of what he saw. He would certainly disagree with your assessment of China's response. Maybe he is lying. Maybe he has been misled. But in that two hour video he certainly seems to be neither. And, unlike all of the armchair quarterbacks, he was actually there.

AFrica would have just been chaos.

Like with the ebola outbreak.

I’m still waiting to see what this does or does not do in African cities.

Most of the poor in Africa don’t have a/c. But this also seems to be spread by poop...But if it’s hot and humid maybe it will break down before it’s transmitted that way. I don’t wish this on Africa. It isn’t as though Africa doesn’t have problems.

China is using brutalist means to control the chaos.
