State agencies doing everything they can to make the crisis worse, all while screaming about how the federal government isn’t doing anything to help them.

I read that after the 1906 San Francisco quake Teddy Roosevelt wrote the CA governor and send he would send help. The governor replied that if they needed help, they would ask for it.

We've come a long way, baby.

If I was one of the FReepers turning on President Trump, i would think long and hard before I did that. You will not like the alternative.

Your point may be valid but your incorrect data undermines it. Deaths are 97 today. In a week they will be over 300. The week after that near 1,000. After that we’ll see how much impact the measures have had. Will be 1,500 to 3,000. I believe our prayers will be answered and this will slow down in 3 to 4 weeks. 2 weeks would be a miracle. Perhaps antidotes will be found, warmer weather will weaken this, or it will mutate to ineffectiveness (unlike the 1918 flu which came back is a stronger second wave). Or perhaps the wise counter-measures will make the difference. However God solves this is fine with us.

I’m not an alarmist; this is reality. People are walking around as carriers for 2 to 10 days not knowing they are infecting others. Even if we stop all new infections NOW (isn’t happening) the already infected people are going to show up in the numbers. A few days ago OK had 2 cases in different cities. Now it’s 10 scattered across the state. I have a source that just one hospital has 7 more cases yet to be reported.

Drastic shutdowns HAVE to occur to stop this. Has it occurred to you the Dems are in states/cities with concentrated urban populations? Of course they are going to take action first.

Our mistake as a nation was not quarantining everyone coming into the US mid-January. Cities and states are making the same mistake if they delay. The real issue is that more states / cities aren’t shutting down. Research Taiwan to see what they did. Also research Gunnison CO during the Spanish Flu 1918 epidemic.

Certainly an interesting talking point.

They happen to be the governors of the most populous affected states.

"All for 49 deaths."

It's not for 49 deaths. It's for what's coming.

I guess some are finding some kind of emotional reward in it.
In essence it would be like a stamp of approval on everything we all find so repugnant.
Turning the temporary into the permanent.

What are you talking about? I knew it would come to our shores quickly. In January, when I first heard about it wrecking havoc in China, I started preparing. I wish I had taken even stronger measures to stay safe, but I didn’t want to appear like a nut.
Stay safe and God bless you.
