We had 60,000,000 H1N1 cases along with 12,000 deaths and 257,000 hospitalized.

What exactly did we do properly back then and were you sky screaming on message boards back in '09?

president BO declares a state of emergency after 1000 people die.

That has to be the proper protocol.

Regarding test kits, I heard on NPR yesterday (I listen to multiple news sources) that blaming the US or Trump for lack of kits is misguided... some long explanation about how the first kits we developed from Chinese origin were flawed and gave false positives, so they got another source kit from SK or somewhere else that was more effective and then had to mass produce those, etc. basically it wasn't anyone's fault... just how it went down. Not from Fox, this was on NPR.

This is just the start of this, if it wasn't a big issue you wouldn't see northern Italy on virtual lockdown or see SXSW getting canceled

But shutting down schools and businesses and sporting events for this is bull shite and if you disagree with me, you're wrong.




We'll see if it's "just the flu" in a couple of weeks.

Its bad in Italy. That's a separate topic.

Sxsw had all the cops pull out. No cops/security, no bonds. No bonds, no sponsors. No sponsors, no event. Sxsw cancellation is more an indictment of our litigious society and the corporatization of a "hip" event than a valid commentary on the Wuhan pandemic.

The San Diego quarantine was broken, apparently, because the CDC sent people from all other the country there and back without training or equipment. That big screw up was in the news. I haven't heard of any CDC virus victims though.

What is amazing is there are no keys to lock the front door of a Waffle House.

Regarding Italy, there are a few possibilities going on there.

Their statistics are very very very bad.

It's called the "Wuhan" flu now, but when it's all said and done, this might be called "Italian" flu, because it may be a mutated version there, fricking shite up big time. Similar to the old Spanish flu, it didn't actually originate in Spain, but that's where it mutated and got bad.

Another possibility is that their numbers are still incomplete. 60 million people there. As of this post, there are 631 deaths. If that quadruples to 2500 deaths, and at the end of the day, pretty much all of the 60 million were exposed or infected, that's still a very very low mortality rate. In fact, it would be 0.000041 mortality rate. But what if it quadruples twice? That's still a 0.000084 mortality rate.

Science!

You're the guy in the waffle house that complains about his food and sends it back, and makes everybody else in the place cringe. That's who you are.

The waffle house employee is apparently being sent to Hard Labor Creek state park. She's a drifter, has no place to call her own for self-quarantine. But isn't sick enough to require hospitalization.

Off to the park you go.

It was actually her second day at work. Finally turning her life around. Kid couldn't catch a break.

The two most important factors in South Korea’s success in containing the outbreak have been (1) Transparent and useful public information from the Federal government, and (2) Aggressive identification of infested persons through widespread testing. The USA has neither of those two factors going for it at this point even though we had earlier warning of the pandemic potential than SK did.
