What do y'all think... Are we being proactive enough in this country?

After seeing China quarantine millions of their residents, it seems like a joke that the US is basically just telling its citizens to "wash your hands often."

I guess they've got to maintain a delicate balance to prevent the public from breaking down into hysteria, but holy shyt will someone tell me if there's more active steps being taken to curb the spread?

This is what it must've been like to hear the plague has touch down in London. Instead of people worrying, everyone is just sort of continuing on with their day and hoping for the best.

The current administration in DC is too concerned with the stock market and overall economy to go into protection mode. It is literally the only thing that Trump can hang his hat on and if that goes away, he knows he is in a bad spot.

People keep saying this is Trumps Katrina, and as severe as that was, and impactful to many, a pandemic is a much worse event nationally and is being completely mismanaged.

proactive barely but I think it's because the spread here is not as aggressive as it has been in other places. Unfortunately if it ever does escalate to that level mass hysteria will ensue for a bit

To answer your first question, no, in my opinion, i don't think we're being proactive. A better comparison than China, would be S. Korea (we are closer in the epidemic progression to them) who is testing 10,000 people a day. They had 100,000 tested while we had 500. We will eventually catch up but we are being reactive and waiting until we see clusters of cases to quarantine and ramp up testing which is the wrong approach because that will lead to community spread.

We haven't learned from the past and with God's good grace hopefully, we won't be forced to pay for it..... (hopefully the S-strain which is less aggressive is the strain that is more prevalent)

We are literally trying to repeat history it appears in someways, however smh

In the summer of 1918, as the Great War raged ...the City of Brotherly Love organized a grand spectacle. To bolster morale and support the war effort, a procession for the ages brought together marching bands, Boy Scouts, women’s auxiliaries, and uniformed troops to promote Liberty Loans –government bonds issued to pay for the war

(Regarding the Spanish Flu) The head of Philadelphia’s Naval Hospital told the Public Ledger in the days before the parade: “There is no cause for further alarm. We believe we have it well in hand.” So, the parade went forward. “In the streets of downtown Philadelphia, 200,000 people gathered to celebrate an impending allied victory in World War I. Within a week of the rally an estimated 45,000 Philadelphians were afflicted with influenza.”

In six weeks, 12,000 were dead. The smell of bodies left to rot in homes while they waited to be removed permeated the streets. The spread of the virus was exacerbated by existing conditions in the city: a booming population drawn by the wartime industries, a density of housing, and a lack of sanitation services and safe drinking water in these working-class neighborhoods.

I have been taking my own proactive approach, buying extra goods and supplies every time I go to the store. Case of water here, soups and canned veggies there, some protein bars and peanut butter, pasta, but also cleaning supplies, toiletries, meds. The essentials so if I have to be at home for 2-3 weeks, I will be prepared. I am not a Doomsday'er, and some days I root for the comet over humanity, but I do think things will get worse before they get better, so I feel like it is best to be prepared. I hope to not need any of that stuff in an emergency situation, but I am glad to have them.

Its difficult to determine how severe the spread is given that we're so behind in testing. In the coming weeks once more tests kits are availabIe I would not be surprised if the number of cases explode into the hundreds if not the thousands. I am beginning to think the test kits were deliberately made inaccessible to keep the appearence of a low case amount.
