If you're in new york don't forget the mayor telling everyone in early-mid march to just go about their business. Also don't forget that even in January the Chinese health authorities said there was no evidence of human-human transmission. Maybe this affected response times. Remember all those people refusing to take the social distancing seriously spreading it as if it didn't matter. Hindsight is always 20/20 and literally no leaders on the entire planet responded to this as early as we now know they should have. Look forward, not back. It's much more useful. To pretend that anybody else would have done a different job is laughable.

Americans jumping on the bandwagon to sue China, no more no less.

Well, the experts over here say masks are useless (do more harm than good) in the hands of the general public and people should also refrain from making masks themselves. IMHO you have to see this in the light of culture and how well people will adhere to lockdown and distancing rules. If people don't adhere to lockdown / distancing rules then wearing masks may be better than nothing. Also how and where the mask is worn matters. It is still cold in Europe so a mask will get wet in seconds when worn outside. In some places it seems they hand people masks when entering a shop and throw the mask away when exiting the shop.

World Confirmed: 826k
World Population: 7.53b
Percentage: 0.01%

For perspective.  Of course "Confirmed" doesn't = infected.

Rest assured that the problems in the poorer parts of the world are much bigger. But governments don't pay too much attention to it to prevent mass panic. Recently I saw a video of a couple doing shopping in full hazmat suits in Indonesia. The shop manager got angry claiming that they made people afraid.

I'm hoping the real figure is closer to 1000 infected to 1 Confirmed.  With at least half of those asymptomatic.   

Once they have wide spread anti-body tests, they could be farming you for your blood!  Woohahahahaha!

Yea... I know... tumble weed.   Too soon.
