I was hoping you were not going to Orange Man bad.
Well then, you said, ” ..Telling people to not to panic without any substance to back it up..”
Here is the offical CDC recommendations on mitigation:
“When a novel virus with pandemic potential emerges, nonpharmaceutical interventions, which will be called community mitigation strategies in this document, often are the most readily available interventions to help slow transmission of the virus in communities.”
Basically it says: if you are sick, stay home. Wash hands a lot. Don’t be stupid. And it doesn’t say to run to doctor and get a test. Remember most recover from it and don’e die.
Press and Dems complaining lack of test kits, etc. are designed to make orange man look bad. c-mon. You could use the same argument on any new pandemic virus. It’s new and takes some time to sort it out.
Air travel was stopped rather quickly if I recall.
