All that is left is control of the pace of spread to hopefully keep healthcare from being overwhelmed

How would "we" have succeeded in that? What would have done it?

This is America dammit. We don't give up our freedoms for security.

Or at least our forefathers didn't. Their dicks would make ours look like toothpicks.

Containment was never the goal. It was always to slow down the spread to not overwhelm health care resources and keep as many elderly/pre existing condition patients from dying

It was assholes like many of the posters here on this board that said it was a complete overreaction. Just imagine how shitty of a situation we would be in if leaders had this same mentality

Controlling the spread is considered containment. We couldn’t just put a bubble over the US and not let anyone in. Logistically impossible to keep the doors closed to all.

Nothing. We couldn't have done anything in February that would have been effective in containing the virus.

The blame falls squarely on the disgusting Chinese and their selfish culture/government which hid and/or understated the disease from the world for three months. By the time our government was made aware, the virus was already here and spreading.

Half the country eats funions and plays video games for most of every week

I think we can make it a month watching Netflix and getting drunk in our houses

I remember chicken pox parties.

I'll get my PJs and a week's worth of ice cream, cartoons, and calamine lotion together.

When are we doing this?

full scale shutdown: cancel flights and close borders = OMGWTF THE VIRUS DOESN'T HAVE A NATIONALITY! DRUMPHT IS USING THIS AS HIS WALL!

no intervention: tell people to wash their hands and avoid crowds = INEPT AND INCOMPETENT! WHERE ARE THE KITS?? DRUMPF SAT ON HIS arse WHILE PEOPLE DIED!


nothing that could have been done or that will be done will ever be met with anything but extreme ridicule, one way or the other.

When I hear "we all need to agree" about anything, I generally disagree.
