I pretty much agree with everything you said (imagine thatIbanez wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 4:53 amAt this point the government response has to be better than it was when it was saying " It'll be fine once the weather warms up." Trump is in an incredibly difficult position having to make incredibly difficult decisions. I don't envy him and I sincerely hope that with Congress, they respond quickly. It sounds like he is finally taking this thing serious. The 30 day ban on foreigners could really help stem the tide. I just hope it isn't too late.SDHornet wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 4:03 am
Your whole response is just
Trump does something, it's his fault. Trump does nothing, it's his fault.
This virus is here, steps are being taken to limit how fast it spreads and that includes importing additional cases via air travel to Europe. In addition to the Fed; State, county, and local agencies/entities are already taking actions they see fit. I think it's already too late for a travel ban (BTW closing the borders worked great for Russia), but I'm not opposed to taking the steps deemed necessary. Not sure why you feel otherwise and in fact, seem contradictory to your "shut down big local gatherings" you posted yesterday.
I hope he has some good advisers that are willing to listen to science. Dr. Fauchi (sp?) sounds like he means business. I like that guy.

CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield and Fauci (director the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) gave testimony this morning before the House on why the travel ban now to Europe, and why the UK was excluded. -70% new cases from Europe, Italy France, Germany the most.
-Couldn't just do Italy, because it (the EU) was like one country.
-U.K. was left out was because there was a difference between the ease of transportation between the EU countries, and the U.K.
-of the 35+ states that have infections, 30 of them have gotten them recently from a travel related case from Europe.
Fauci on the testing failure (edit, see Jelly already posted):

The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we’re not..... from the beginning, it was not set up to do that. The system was geared for individual doctor and patient. What we're going through now transcends that."
at their numbers, our numbers will become
