Is this like with Polio back in the day?
My dad talked about that when he was a kid
Right now we're about as helpless as we were with polio back then. You don't just suspend the NBA season ban attendance at the NCAA playoffs along with nearly all international air travel bringing the global economy almost to a dead stop and still think of COVID 19 as just another form of seasonal flu.

Do you really think that Donald Trump would take such extreme measures in a presidential election year unless this virus has got the living feces scared out of him ?

The bigger question is....will it be enough and what if it comes back this fall in an even more lethal form?

200k vs 5k Remember when the US was supposed to have the most efficient health system in the world. Where the power of the free-market/private control of the means of production was long deemed superior to other countries... Better than "Communist" China, right.......Right?!!

NYC keeps public schools open despite corona virus b/c many 1000s of poor children can't get meals, laundry, etc anywhere else. For the poor, exposure to disease/death is the price they pay for basic needs.

GOP & "centrists" call this a "great economy."

Super-rich jet off to disaster bunkers amid coronavirus outbreak https://theguardian.com/world/2020/mar

Uber, Lyft, all of the airlines and cruise companies, Boeing, Airbus, auto makers and so many more. Oh, cannot forget restaurants, professional sports, movies, or ANY sort of public entertainment.

Almost anyone and everyone...screwed by Covid-19 and the disastrous world response, but especially that of the USA.

All in the toilet. Thanks, Trump!
