The post mention using the same tactics used in Wuhan. You should go look that up.

Your use of containment and mitigation might differ from theirs.

Honestly, I expect any containment efforts to be useless in about two weeks.

The government is useless and helpless. Their intent from the start is to let this run wild. NOTHING they said in the press conference indicates anything to change my mind. Not even sure why they do this shit show.

I haven't watched it yet (at work). But the government's intent is generally to stop the spread. They have failed for the most part but that doesn't prove mal-intent. In any case there's no unified intent. There are many people in the mix with different intents or competence.

My best guess is they are hoping to slow down spread until spring and let nature take care of it.

“ Their intent from the start is to let this run wild.”

It was about mid February that they activated the military pandemic plan. I think the decision was made then. But, why? Because it’s too transmissible to be contained and it’s not going to be that bad, or because it is going to be that bad? Leaked documents on Business Insider and ZeroHedge today say in the US 98MM infections, 480M deaths, hospitals should prepare for 10X a severe flu season.
