The official Coronavirus containment thread

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2020-03-17/10-states-with-the-most-aggressive-response-to-coronavirus

Quoted from Utesichiban:
I have listened to FOX, CNN, and national news TV outlets a total of about 1 hour the past 2 weeks. I can honestly tell you I haven't heard anything Tucker has said in regards to NYC's situation. I am getting my news from reading the Washington Post, NY Times, WSJ, local news sites, and other international sources available online right now.
Like I said, I dont absolve the feds and Trump of any blame, not only for NYC but the entire country. I am informed enough, however, to compare and contrast New York's local government response with the response of other local governments around the country. My conclusion remains it is more then fair to hold them accountable for their mistakes as well.

Ok, so we’re the 7th best responding state. Down from 4 about 10 days ago. NY is not perfect. But at least we knew there was a problem, and were always planning for it. Unlike some dorks.

For the first time in history, the states and citizenry can’t look to their federal government for leadership. Its a national catastrophe and embarrassment. Hard times reveal character. The emperor wears no cloths.

Quoted from cait001:
one thing that gets me is the math looking at the global numbers:
Deaths: 30,835
Recovered: 141,468
So of all the people that got Coronavirus to the point where they have been tallied and are now through with it, 17.9% have ended in death.

You're not obligated to report that you have cured, so don't take this numer too serious.

What those people don’t realize is when it comes to the subject of life and death they have just lost all credibility for their lifetime. I mean going forward how could I actually take the fake news crowd seriously on any issue. I can’t. They are either completely dumb or so weak minded they follow a cult of personality like cult members do.

They lost their credibility a long time ago. Now we should throw them in jail.

Quoted from albummydavis:
I cant stand people blindly talking about free education without considering the implications. We live in the most upwardly mobile educational system win the world, with constant opportunity to retrain, go back to school, and go to school part time and create opportunities for advancement later in life.
Ever live in a country where the government pays for college? It’s not so wonderful, unless you are chosen to attend. The govt pays, so the govt decides who gets an education. Best case scenario, it is truly merit based and, by the time you’re 13 your test results putnyou on a college track. God forbid you screw up your life as a teenager—there’s not so many second chances. Going back to school as an adult is a rarity. Worst case scenario-the govt starts deciding to fund students based on quotas and demographics, not merit. Or you’re told what your aptitude is or what the governments needs are, and what they will pay you to study.
No thanks

No we don’t, dude. Google it. We are about the 20th most “upwardly mobile” country in the world. 20th!! That’s pathetic! There is scant chance anyone will rise above the social station they’re born in to in the US. This isn’t what the founding fathers planned for or wanted. But it’s reality. And it’s not politics! It’s FACT!

Quoted from o-din:A thought did cross my mind last night. A lot of people are giving our leader shit because of things he said. In most cases he said it is what he thought. But also has obviously listened to experts about it and changed what he "thought", into what he now knows and has tried to act accordingly. We hired a business man, not a scientist. That is all.

Re: fleeing states like NYC etc

It is actually not crazy to go to a state with a “nice” governor. As monstrous and irresponsible as it seems, they are getting favored status for covid supplies:

MA received 17% of requested medical supplies from the Trump admin. ME: 5%. CO: 1 day's worth.
