From CDC.gov: “As of March 5, 2020 1,583 patients had been tested at CDC”.
That did that many in Korea yesterday. Yesterday afternoon.
The numbers are going to skyrocket next week—just because we can test. There are not many more cases (relatively) than there were yesterday. We will simnply know about them.
Once we get to 5,000 cases (within the next week) the media is going to freak out, They will turn on the CDC and the pols. You will see hospital CEOs freaking out.
You will see snowflakes on Social Media screaming because there is no vaccine yet.
You will see snowflakes and idiots pointing the Lysol bottles and claiming “they knew this was coming.....”
Everyone with any sense of viruses knew this was coming years ago with the publication of “Hot Spot.” If this is surprising anyone, they were not paying attention.
So, its coming. It is going to be disruptive. People are sheep. They will be herded off a cliff of “outrage.”
Free Republic isn’t doing this. No daily live thread is doing this. Its human nature when you get a bunch of fools paying more attention to Meagan and Harry than what is going on with the human condition.
Just by having this discussion, people (believers or deniers) are engaging in more intelligent conversation than 99% of the people in the country.
But, I think we can remove our “shocked” faces, and start addressing the realities of what is likely to be coming.
so that would be the 1K airlifted and about 500 others?
