We shouldn't be taking the coronavirus lightly though.
IMHO, that's where this moron in the white building misses the point.
Once it gets into the full public domain, then the world is relying on yet ANOTHER annual vaccine, hoping that they scientists get the mutation right, again. And another set of debates of the efficacy of those vaccines. And worse, another set of X% of the population that dies every year- in addition to what we have now.

If they had that they would be much further along.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostIt's not mocking. Yes, the flu kills more people at this point. That doesn't address the problem. Coronavirus is new. We have no vaccine. We don't know how contagious it is. We don't know what the kill rate is. See the difference?
We shouldn't be taking it lightly?
Well the President of the United States is sure taking it lightly. He gutted all that Obama did during and after Ebola that would have been there to respond and contain new viral threats such as these. He did it with impunity. His press conference was a blatant attempt to bolster the stock market.
There are two things you do NOT CUT in government right now. Cyber security and the CDC. You don't do it. Period. He slashed them both.

Why is it that we have to make everything we do profitable?
Pay the researchers, for sure. But once it gets beyond that, it should be open to the public for security reasons.Russell Jaslow
