Tuesday 3/24 was the first day the US recorded over 100 Covid-19 related deaths.
Wednesday 3/25 was the first day the US recorded over 200 Covid-19 related deaths.
 
For everyone that seems to think their government and leaders are failing - exactly what is it that you would do better? they no doubt have info that we don't and know what resources are available to use.

The big mistakes I see are:

1: Sars and Mers were stopped spreading quickly in the past because it was reported quickly, dealt with quickly - with this version of virus people were unknowingly traveling to and fro at least a month if not two before the government reported it - maybe this was ego, maybe it was fear, maybe it was ignorance of the consequences - or ?


2: Political use of this situation to bash your competition, government, fellow man or otherwise - maybe not as serious as the first but makes you barf to see/hear over and over

(warning - dark sarcasm)
Pfft...all those dead and dying are really blowing this thing out of proportion, scaring people unnecessarily, and participating in a "hoax" aimed at discrediting leaders...

USA political ideologies taken to the extreme are really pissing me off right now. One good thing about times like this: it flushes the real leaders out of the woodwork and they start uniting people into common action/purpose.

FYI: For the science inclined, and conspiracy addicts out there:

I've seen a lot of people claiming speculative conspiracy theories about the virus. Here's a study published by Nature Magazine, analyzing the genetic origins of SARS-CoV-2 -- Covid-19. - I encourage reading and sharing this article.

"the evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus... we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible"

either talked about it or thought about it as no one seemed prepared, and/or had to deal with many other people and organizations that were doing the same

Bringing a thread back to topic... what an odd idea :D

No reason there shouldn't be separate dedicated threads for...
(a.) people making analyses of the available information, leading to predictions, dire or otherwise; and,
(b.) people doing whatever Folding@Home is (sounds like quarantined people learning origami?)

Perhaps. It's worthwhile to note that Nature (Inc.) is basically owned by the CCP.
