You mean his utter ignoring of the Problem? I'm not sure if sticking your head in the sand is the way to solve problems.cancel2 2022

You're truly a fucking idiot, this infectious diseases doctor is talking about paranoic loonys like you,!!
I'm a doctor and an Infectious Diseases Specialist. I've been at this for more than 20 years seeing sick patients on a daily basis. I have worked in inner city hospitals and in the poorest slums of Africa. HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis,TB, SARS, Measles, Shingles, Whooping cough, Diphtheria...there is little I haven't been exposed to in my profession. And with notable exception of SARS, very little has left me feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed or downright scared.
I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19.
What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic, stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter adequately in a post-apocalyptic world. I am scared of the N95 masks that are stolen from hospitals and urgent care clinics where they are actually needed for front line healthcare providers and instead are being donned in airports, malls, and coffee lounges, perpetuating even more fear and suspicion of others. I am scared that our hospitals will be overwhelmed with anyone who thinks they " probably don't have it but may as well get checked out no matter what because you just never know..." and those with heart failure, emphysema, pneumonia and strokes will pay the price for overfilled ER waiting rooms with only so many doctors and nurses to assess.
I am scared that travel restrictions will become so far reaching that weddings will be canceled, graduations missed and family reunions will not materialize. And well, even that big party called the Olympic Games...that could be kyboshed too. Can you even
imagine?
I'm scared those same epidemic fears will limit trade, harm partnerships in multiple sectors, business and otherwise and ultimately culminate in a global recession.
But mostly, I'm scared about what message we are telling our kids when faced with a threat. Instead of reason, rationality, openmindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested.
Covid-19 is nowhere near over. It will be coming to a city, a hospital, a friend, even a family member near you at some point. Expect it. Stop waiting to be surprised further. The fact is the virus itself will not likely do much harm when it arrives. But our own behaviors and "fight for yourself above all else" attitude could prove disastrous.
I implore you all. Temper fear with reason, panic with patience and uncertainty with education. We have an opportunity to learn a great deal about health hygiene and limiting the spread of innumerable transmissible diseases in our society. Let's meet this challenge together in the best spirit of compassion for others, patience, and above all, an unfailing effort to seek truth, facts and knowledge as opposed to conjecture, speculation and catastrophizing.
Facts not fear. Clean hands. Open hearts.
Our children will thank us for it.

Do you think rice is the answer?
You have no idea what 'Uncle Tom' is do you.
You are completely oblivious to the extrapolation to 'Uncle Ben'.
Why don't you stick with Brexit, fishing rights, and wool farming?

Who's ignoring this problem, Jack? Give us some names.
You never miss a chance to condemn those of faith, do ya?
So tell me, just what did I do to deserve all your hatred?
Did I bang one of the girls you fantasized about years ago?
Did I shoot your cat? Do my successes and achievements
acerbate you? Out with it Jack, just what, as a man with
spiritual beliefs, have I done to you? Personally, I think you
are a sad, lonely, perverted old fool who looks back on his
life and wishes he'd done much better and needs to blame
someone else.You should see a professional.
Anyway, tell us Jack, Just who is sticking their head in the
sand? Our state is preparing. Our local hospitals are preparing.
The feds are giving everything asked of them. Your acute hatred
and animosity toward so many others blinds you to reality.
The US has had 2 months to prepare. This Administration has fallen asleep at the wheel. Look what other countries are doing, look what we are doing.
Conclusion: Trump spends too much time at the Golf Course.

How many cases do we have compared to other countries? You claim 2 months to prepare, yet the Chinese hid this for how long while it spread? People traveled and it unknowingly went along with them.
Your 2 months is how long it was from the time it began at the fish market or wherever it was. It was already in other countries when the Chinese finally admitted it.
If you don't test anybody, you're not likely to have high numbers ... or an accurate count of where the 'Problem' is.
'The cat is out of the bag' now. There's 'Carriers' of the virus in every State and we have no idea where to concentrate Resources.
We should have been using those Temperature Gizmos to screen people at International Airports and Boat Docks.
Where's the fucking Temperature Gizmos?
Where's the People to operate the Temperature Gizmos?
Why are you making excuses rather than demanding some action on this???

WTF is a "Temperature Gizmo"? A thermometer? I have one in my medicine cabinet. Hell, my car even has a "Temperature Gizmo"!
Why are you so petrified of this virus? Who is making excuses? Is your state and local officials making excuses? Mine aren't. Our hospitals are preparing.

You're an idiot Jacqui, if you only accepted that then your life would be so much better. I know what the derogatory meaning to Uncle Tom is, as indeed the use of words like Oreo and coconut. If you don't mind I will choose the subjects myself that I wish to comment on, I am sorry that you feel humiliated by me, but that not my fault it's yours.

We had one of those temperature "gizmos" where I worked to check the temperature of the metal when we machined it and did sweat fits. Never tried it on anybody, though.
A lot of electronics here are made in China. Those machines were made in China. Are they even producing them since they have entire cities shut down? How fast can we start producing them?
See. 2 months into this, and you don't even know what the fuck they are. How hard is this to check people coming off planes*and boats?
Thanks Havana. The Trumptopians have no idea what is going on. Still in a state of denial.

Welcome who now? Send them back where?
You're missing the part where I said it's easy to take a temp...that's what we were discussing I thought...
Tell me exactly what you want the US to do...
