i.e. Ostrich syndrome, the US had it bad.   Still has it bad. The one bright note I saw today was the director of the CDC getting put in a corner to commit to free testing for C-19 for every person in the US.  No need to actually work on the actuals of it but the commitment is primary unless someone fires him...

IMO, I think disbanding the pandemic response team in 2018 was not a wise decision. If they were still operating when this started late last year, they could/would have started the production of test kits based on our earliest knowledge of the RNA test needed to identify it. Then we would have had real information on the extent of the outbreak here. Instead, we went for weeks under the mistaken impression that it was not here. It was, we just had our heads in the sand.

If we dropped the ball so did many nations.

I agree with Carl.
Most of you understand math...this virus is spreading exponentially...let that sink in. Our current administration dropped the ball on this one. Now we are suffering the consequences.
You can't cure ....wait for it....wait for it..... ineptness.

            IMHO, it isn't about you, it is about being a responsible
            member of society. I'm not judging, or saying we are at
            that point, but there is a point at which the responsible
            thing to do is cancel large gatherings to flatten the curve.

                    I’m sorry folks but this conference really should
                    be canceled for the safety of everyone.
                    Thank you to Sonar For their brave decision
                    yesterday to pull out.
                    I know this would be a hardship for WISPA’s
                    finances so I think we should all pull together
                    to make sure WISPA doesn’t suffer financially. 
                    We need WISPA and our members to be healthy and
                    strong both physically and financially.
