It would be a blessing if the media just reported actual factual events and occurrences instead of speculating about stuff they know nothing about. Example: A middle aged state legislator from around Detroit died yesterday or today. The media reported his death, as it would be of interest to people in his district, but at the same time interjected that they didn't know why he died but it might have been because of the Wuhan Virus because he went to the hospital with breathing problems. A picture of the guy showed him to be of the serious burly persuasion. For all they know he died of a heart attack. The point being is that if they don't know, don't speculate.
In my view, this disease may be a plague like problem. I'll be willing to bet we'll never actually know. But the media has been nearly hysterical in the reporting of it. They pantingly report the #s infected and how many died today. They do not report how many survived today. Last time I checked the death rate in the US was around 0.016. It's likely lower than that because there are hundreds of thousands of people who are likely infected and either have a mild reaction or no reaction at all but have been infected, thus not reported.
It would also be rather nice if the media gave Trump a thank you for how he is handling this with respect to who he surrounds himself with and what they do. Love him or hate him, with Trump being a billionaire CEO in the private sector who also had to deal with bureaucrats, he knows how to delegate and also knows how to organize and react to stuff. In other words, he's qualified to deal with situations like this. As I say, watch what they do, not what and how they say it. He may not know diddley squat about disease, but as an experience businessman, he does know how to organize and pick people to do what needs to be done. I shudder to think what we'd be facing if all we had were lifelong politicians managing something they know nothing about as they have never been managers only hand shakers.
Every article that I read generally starts off with a slap at Trump. Then if you read the rest of the article you find out that things are working fairly well under the circumstances...those circumstances being that the .fed gov and the states are woefully under prepared for a situation like this. Because past administrations at the .fedgov level and state level were not doing their due diligence regarding being prepared for a pandemic situation, why should Trump get the blame? In fact after the H1N1 situation in Obama's administration, much of the federal stockpile of needed stuff did not get replaced. Bush II didn't do anything either about being prepared.
Why should the government be prepared? Well that is actually a simple answer. Millions of people travel all over the world all day, every day. They go to and fro from 3rd and 4th world locations ran by tribalist, dictators, communists, and quasi-democracies every day. The health and sanitation levels are pitiful in many of those places. It stands to reason that with those circumstances pandemics will occur with a fairly certain regularity. Thus we should be prepared for it with other methods than destroying the economic health of, well, every country in the world.
