Stop helping western governments covering up their failure by pinning all the blame on China. South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam received the same data from China yet they manage to prepare themselves. Western countries should take this L.


I do know one thing. Western nations are going to use this to pull business out of China. Not saying they shouldn't. It's incredibly stupid to have all our eggs in one basket. But someone is going to fall on the sword for this.

Why data and how it's reported is EXTREMELY important during these times



They need to bold all those underlying conditions to so people will understand. You may not be as healthy as you think and you definitely know someone who is at risk. So if you a 6 Cert, 6 Fig, 6-pack guy you'll be fine but keep your ass inside for everyone else

South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam are also in close proximity with China and know their tactics first hand. Taiwan specifically is viewed as part of China despite having declared their independence. They knew on Day 0, that whatever China said could not be trusted. It's ok to not know everything, but throwing around patently false claims is worse. The geopolitical tension in the region is why some responded better than others.
California and Washington have taken more extreme measures much earlier and seeing the effects. Not an excuse. Stop making excuses.

Meanwhile, I seem to recall you getting a bit upset that Virginia implemented a lockdown a few days ago. :jbhmm:

Again stop making excuses for where the country as a whole has failed. Trump is still dragging his ass and could be doing a ton of shyt right now such as fully utilizing the DPA instead of just harping on about GM. We need more PPE, not just for medical workers, but for everyone. He still leading from behind.

People that keep screaming that "THIS THING IS OVERBLOWN BECAUSE IT ONLY AFFECTS PEOPLE WITH UNDERLYING CONDITIONS" are grossly underestimating how unhealthy the US population is.

The NHS in the UK and a study from the Neatherlands reported that a bulk of patients they are seeing are suffering from obesity. This should perk some ears up here in the states.

I think one of the major issues is that media rarely reports the recovery rate. From what I'm understanding, there are 5 categories of people; Those who haven't been tested, tested negative, positive but asymptomatic, positive with symptoms and positive with symptoms and high risk due to underlying conditions. The latter group are the ones most likely to die from the virus, but in comparison to the recovery rate, it's low.

Another huge issue is the bulk of the population haven't been tested. This means they could have it, transmit without ever getting symptoms. This is the group that is most dangerous because they encompass people who refuse to abide by the given orders. It's not about you getting sick, but how you could transmit to a more vulnerable group without knowing.
