Re: April 3rd 2020
You need to stop binging conspiracy theory bullshit one of these days. Calling something a pandemic or not has very little bearing ona disease or your responses. Even then, it was declared a pandemic early March. It’s April. US government responses continue to be inadequate.Jason wrote:Do research on WHO. They waited MONTHS to declare this a pandemic.

That’s when you knew this was a thing.
20 January 2020 you got your first case
4 April, still not invoked DPA to secure, produce, distribute and coordinate state responses, still not put in place national quarantine, stay-at-home, and social distancing regime. Still not matched other countries testing regiments or aggressive measures.
China is an authoritarian cesspit regime who suppress the true toll of this I’m sure but there was (and is) plenty to be done regardless of what numbers come out as plenty of data and cases were available before today. The fact that Dr Fauci asks governors about their response and gets told they lack tests and protective gear and Trump has the temerity to say “I haven’t heard that for weeks” highlights the total lack of leadership and understanding from the top that permeates the weak and feeble response you’re seeing. Every day he doesn’t lead is a day more cases develop and worse outcomes are assured.
Terminator Trump really will let the disease be back at this rate.
Just like Abe said, we're gonna have to look further into how we do business with the WHO. They are not to be trusted.

Sorry to hear that J-mac.

Re: April 3rd 2020
Exactly. Should've been a fucking pandemic in January and the WHO gave zero warning despite knowing full well the consequences of the ensuing outbreak. Medical professionals and infectious disease experts agree unanimously. Do you disagree with them, as well as the prime minister of Japan? He is reiterating all my statements and I'm on record here saying so. I stocked up in January, two God damn months before the WHO did a God damn fucking thing about this shit, and I need to not be a conspiracy theorist? Lmao. No government is prepared for an outbreak like this. The U.S. is currently the most honest as far as reporting actual testing results. You think fucking China only had 80,000 cases?

Re: April 3rd 2020
Being a Pandemic has no bearing here. And sure, nobody could’ve avoided their local outbreak and epidemic from this one. But there is visible and significant distinctions in responses. The US has honest reporting but so does most places, China, Indonesia, Russia and North Korea excepted as they are much more likely to massively understate their cases. But most others including EU, Japan, S Korea and North America. If you did things from January but complained you could’ve started in December then fine. China sucks. But now every inaction and confusion is firmly on that government.Jason wrote:Exactly.
