But it's obvious you guys have all the answers and have all this under control, and the US and Alabama have made no mistakes and are always right, perfect, and infallible. No municipality has ever done anything better than the US in any capacity, and any insinuation that they did is either farcical nonsense or a boldface lie.

I'll leave you to it as I can add nothing of merit in the face of the above, and the last #$&&*%#@$%ing thing I want to do is argue.

Good luck to you all.

No one on here that I can recall has said the US, the states, or local municipality has done everything right. But the issue I think some here have with your comments is that you like to point how bad the US response is and you have pointed that out as a country as well. Then compared it to the third world country you live in like it is the greatest thing on Earth and that your country is so much better then the US.

The facts are facts as your country did not respond any faster and as corrupt as your country is who knows who they are testing if any.

You say you have contained but yet this from yesterday in CR:

quote:
The Health Ministry is launching an investigation after a man presenting at a public clinic with fever and breathing difficulties was denied a test for COVID-19.

quote:
The man later tested positive at a private medical center, according to a complaint filed by a family member.

quote:
“My dad is now in intensive care,” Amanda Mesén, the man’s daughter, told Delfino.cr. “He is intubated, and he is unconscious and he has a condition that he is unlikely to survive.”

The info you post to validate your opinion is not true. What was it you said about how they take care of their employees and would never layoff or fire them?

quote:
Some 100,000 restaurant workers in Costa Rica have lost their jobs after the closure of more than 40% of the establishments in the sector, a result of the crisis caused by the novel coronavirus.

quote:
“The majority of these businesses, 88.24%, are micro, small and medium-sized companies, which cry out to the government for more, better and prompt actions to avoid having to fire employees,”

I am confused as I thought you talked about they would provide for those they fire.

quote:
This week, the Costa Rican government is presenting a plan before the Legislative Assembly that would allocate 225 billion colones (about $390 million) to support 375,000 families through financial contributions over the next three months.

And regards to your border police, preventing people from entering the country. I guess that excludes the essential services of the drug cartels, human traffickers, and slave traders.

In the end I hope everyone from around the world recovers from this and we are able to eradicate this and hopefully in the future be better prepared. But I live in the US and believe in its ability to accomplish what needs to get done. I have faith and just because you do not well I am glad you found your place of comfort elsewhere.
