PS don't mean to sound uncaring ... it's just that rationally, I don't see how, knowing what we know, and that the reality is unfolding over time, there is much of a different way to handle it. I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp of the facts here.

Today, in a state with relatively few cases, I just learned of the first person I know who is currently in critical condition. There will be a lot more.

Managing this is as much a mass psychology mind game as it is physically managing the outbreak itself. I believe given the nature of man, there is no other way to handle it than what Trump is going.

Now if it were a country of just people like me, or just people like us here ... probably such measures as we're seeing wouldn't be required ... we'd just be smart and get through it. But mankind en masse ... are loony. Things would not turn out well without a strong response.

Yes.
