Remember way back in March, when the certain someones( you know who you are) were downplaying the virus, calling it just the flu, a hoax, you're making a big deal out of nothing, just cause NYC, the hub of international travel, and a couple other places have big numbers. You don't see large waves of it in Alabama, and Indiana, and the rural places in America? What's the big deal? You're over-reacting.
I believe there were many of us then saying to the effect, " just wait". And, here we are.
Lol The experts.
New York
City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot on February 6 acknowledged that the virus could spread from person to person, but attempted to reassure residents that that type of transmission would be rare outside of households.
Earlier in the month, Barbot encouraged residents to attend the Lunar New Year parade in Chinatown.
“We know that there’s currently no indication that it’s easy to transmit by casual contact,” Barbot said on March 2. “We want New Yorkers to go about their daily lives, ride the subway, take the bus, go see your neighbors.” On the same day, Cuomo touted the city’s outlook toward the crisis.
De Blasio appeared on MSNBC’s
Morning Joe on March 10 and joined President Trump in casting the coronavirus as similar to the flu.
“If you’re under 50 and you’re healthy, which is most New Yorkers, there’s very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu,” de Blasio said.
Fauci in March.
Fauci then said, “If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason if you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship.“
Lord Fauci end of January
“It’s not something the citizens should be worried about. It’s not something citizens should be frightened by. It’s very, very low risk.”
Lord Fauci last day in February
FAUCI: No, right now at this moment there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis. Right now, the risk is still low.
