Our counts, while very flawed and low, are more reliable than many other countries. I wouldn't trust the disease numbers from Russia, China, Iran, etc.<br />2. Our government delayed any response for 4-8 weeks after they should have taken action. Federal intelligence sources warned the White House in January. The federal government response in the US is, IMHO, a mass-murder crime.<br />3. Our population is (was) very mobile. Air travel is widely available and common. That, with the government's tragically delayed response, is a perfect dispersion machine.<br /><br />Altogether, at the moment I see no future except the one in which we lose a million+ Americans to the virus. It didn't have to be that way, but that's the track we're on.JeffNhttp://www.jeffcnichols.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-29892586464138540712020-04-29T07:46:00.601-07:002020-04-29T07:46:00.601-07:00You are good.
