I can't wait for explanatory stories about why we treated CV so massively different than we treated swine flu. I'm very curious.
I hope it was a mistake treating them differently.
Agip, you are probably too young to remember (half jokingly) but even with 61 Million Americans getting the swine flu NOTHING was shut down. No major sporting events were canceled. No sports seasons were canceled. Why is the response to the CV so different than to how we treated the swine flu? Is it because of Trump?
it's not because of trump, no. Trump holds no sway in other countries.
it's probably because of the scary videos of chinese ghost cities, of chinese cops capturing virus-carriers with butterfly nets, and the terrible state of italian medicine.
If italy hadn't happened this way, I suspect none of the the worldwide panic would have happened.
But we are all convinced that we are a week from being italy. We'll see. Maybe we are.
