Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

...the U.S. seems to be unprepared. In May 2018, under then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, the administration got rid of the official in charge of overseeing a U.S. response to a pandemic and disbanded his global health security team. Today Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli went on Twitter to ask people if they, too, were having trouble accessing the coronavirus map maintained by Johns Hopkins University. “"Has the Johns Hopkins map of the coronavirus stopped working for other people, or just me?" Cuccinelli tweeted. "I just tried again, and it looks like Johns Hopkins put the information behind a membership wall of some kind. Seems like bad timing to stop helping the world with this (previously) useful resource. Here's hoping it goes back up soon."

Newspaper columnist Max Burbank shared the popular outrage: “Thanks for inspiring confidence. Shouldn't YOU GUYS have a map of this? Shouldn't the CDC? You know who they are, right? Isn't there anyone in charge of response to this? Or did someone colossally stupid eliminate that position?” American historian L. D. Burnett tweeted: “there is literally an ENTIRE FEDERAL AGENCY working for you that you could ask to provide you and all Americans with the latest information on the Coronavirus.” Health policy professor Howard Forman begged: “PLEASE can someone tell me that this is a parody account and that our Executive branch has a CLUE of what is going on? PLEASE!?”

Well, chalk one up to Trump's asinine health cuts and policies: the US leader of the coronavirus can't catch it if there isn't a leader to catch it.

Well, we made it over three years before we needed a proper President and administration in a crisis. Now we're actually screwed.

I’d love nothing more than a red state plague but this isn’t it. It will kill less than the flu. Heck, if people are stuck in their homes there will be an orc baby boom in ten months

We are officially in panic mode. Bonds are getting hammered. Stocks continue their slide. Everywhere is sold out of masks. The DHS Secretary is asking Twitter for updates.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Knew this was coming considering the amount of cargo flights going to/from China have dropped significantly.

I’m actually surprised I haven’t caught the virus yet.
