RE: I’m with you. It was delivered terribly.
So, your objection is in the delivery.
What about the STEPS taken? The CONTENT of his speech?
Any objections to what he said instead of how he said it?
No, not really. Though I think the travel ban is too late. As my Dad would have said, the $hits already out of the horse.
I like the SBA provision and I think the payroll tax sounds good but wonder how much impact it will really have.
I saw an interesting article yesterday via twitter about the first point. It was written by an Epidemiologist and Virologist who both said it’s futile to think quarantining can largely stop this now. They based it upon this idea.
China “discovered” this new Coronavirus around 12/16 when they announced the supposed index case. Except at this time, they also announced the RNA sequence of the virus. By sequencing the RNA, that’s the only way to determine if the virus was “new”.
They postulate, given this, that the virus had to have made the zoonotic leap from animal to human in either August or September. So given the amount of time between then and December 16th, imagine how many people travelled from or through China.
Their point was, now we have to stop the spread by self-quarantining but we can’t expect this to not show up around the entire world.
