Last year flu virus had 900,000 hospitalized and 22,000 dead why are you thinking at all that the China virus IS more dangerous than that!!! In CA. today we have 1200 cases out of a 40 million population shutting the entire state down for this kind of numbers is pure INSANITY!! NY is an entirely different environment people in NY are living on top of each other there are millions of people from other countries visiting there constantly, people riding the subways on top of each other we don’t have that in CA. Shutting the state down was completely unnecessary!!!
:( You bully.
You’re right though.
But you’re still a bully!! :)
After that post, you scare me more than some gangsters I knew.
Yes it was unnecessary, and probably isn’t even legal.
The focus should be on isolating high-risk people and having everybody else go on working and keeping the wheels of the economy turning. It’s what South Korea did and it’s what Israel is beginning to do. It’s what we do every year to some degree for the regular flu.
We can’t stop working for months and expect to have an economy left.
You make a good case and perhaps we should have been doing more about flu epidemics than we have.
