So, we’re going to become Wuhan, now Italy. Last I checked we are a fairly international country with lots of travel, and lots of people. Percentage wise, is it logical that this virus picked us last out of all industrial countries?

Nah. Something else is afoot. Something Trump did slowed this down for us, at the very start. Hmm, what was it? Oh yeah, the thing he was criticized for - travel bans.

And, although the testing needs to be vastly more widespread, the deaths do tell the story. We’re nowhere near Europe’s numbers. Many will say “yet”, but I’m not so sure. Trump was right, people need to calm down, and stop panic shopping. We know a lot more about this virus now than the poor initial victims in China. EVERYONE is washing their hand like 5 times a day. Even in Arizona, where we only have 12 cases, people are using their sleeves to open doors, fist bumping instead of shaking hands, and hand sanitizing every 5 minutes.

We’re gonna be ok.

We might just beat this in epic fashion.

Would it be better for each person to make one trip to the grocery store for the next two months or 16 trips to the store during those two months?
