I would like to express an opinion that the CDC blew it again by watching the air ports of entry, and cargo sea ports of entry, but forgot about tourist sea ports of entry
And I would like to predict that VP Pence will ensure that all cruise ship crews are tested and retested prior to allowing any passengers on board new cruises, seeing how 19 crew members of the GP tested positive (not sure how many for the DP but a lot)
Today is March 8, and my temp is 98.5. Thanks for the thread :)
All cruises need to be shut down.

I think the US Government has totally botched the entire response with the exception of the early call to ban travel to/from Wuhan.
1. Travel restrictions should have been more severe, and applied to all foreign travel in/out. Especially in.
2. When quarantines would have worked, we did not employ them. Now containment is impossible.
3. We should have had 1 million effective and easy test kits distributed by Valentines day. Instead we have tested less than 2,000 people.
4. Everyone should have been able to perceive the White House looking out for their safety rather than international business. Most didn’t.
5. The best marketing team in US history has failed with mixed messages, unclear messaging and outright obfuscation/disinformation...especially on test kit availability and employment. And on real risk of US infiltration by the virus.
It’s almost as if they knew the cost of actually stopping it was higher than letting it run its course.
Maybe they are right.
If so, they should say so and quit fluffing us. At least then the American people would know where they stand.
