Have been watching a show on Netflix called Pandemic. Sure many others have seen it but it really brings to life that what we are experiencing now could be the very top of an iceberg. Maybe not with this particular flu but maybe the next one teeing up. There are so damn many powder kegs that are brewing in extremely poor regions in the world. They touched in the Spanish flu and how many people that killed (50-100 m) and there were not planes flying around the world each and every hour. Once we get through this I will for one be making a goto kit that has necessities for situations like we are in now. We as a country are doing as good as we can. I will take far more responsibility for myself and prepare better going forward
I am hopeful that when we emerge from the other side of this thing, to whatever degree we do, we and the country learn some very important lessons. First would be to bring pharma production back to the good ole USA and out of China. Second, never trust the Chinese government no matter what they might say. Third, be far more proactive in the future with virus’ that maybe around the world but could be here with just one arrival at a major gateway like nyc or LA or CHI. It is not an issue of if we will be struck again but when and how bad. We all need to take more responsibility for ourselves and be better prepared. The government can only do so much no matter what party is in the big chair. This thing is scary but the next may make the Covid19 crisis look like a walk through the park! I am sure there are many more lessons to be gleaned from our present situation. This is by no means an exhaustive list but ones I personally feel are important. Maybe the biggest lesson is to make sure that we all have a few months worth of living expenses saved up for the next big whatever. Again, this could be just a primer for far more deadly possibilities down the road
Quoted from RTR:Maybe businesses should have a few months of operating expenses saved up as well.
Indeed!!!
Quoted from swampfire:The US had boots on the ground in China for exactly this, but they were defunded and sent home:

If this, and it sounds like it did, have a significant role in our countries issues with the virus, heads should role. And while I am a supporter of the president, if this came from his desk, he will need to atone!
