The Surgeon General made a statement about how American containment measures are working but as far as I can tell we have done literally nothing to contain the virus besides refuse to let some people off a ship while it spreads uninhibited in the states.

poo poo is going to go sideways in a bad way. There is no federal containment measures. Many states and localities have responded, but it's far too little too late. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to die.

I hope the press continues to point out previous antivaxxers now telling you to listen to your doctors.

When we last checked in with Testa and his partner in pandering, Sen. Joe Pennacchio, the latter admitted that he consulted no actual scientific experts on vaccines, and instead got his information from social media. Testa refused to even come to the phone then.

And now, isn’t it a stunning contradiction that he is telling the rest of us to follow the science on the Coronavirus? We wanted to talk that over. But he refused to come to the phone again.

Calm down a little on that. States and localities have departments of health that can still enforce local containment measures and will likely do so more and more at their own discretion as it's obvious that the federal response is not going to be there for them. Even without proper testing it's not like this type of scenario of disease has never been considered.

200k americans dying would be slightly worse than a bad flu season, so it's not some society collapsing event yet.

Number will be bigger than that, and doesn't count people who are going to die of unrelated diseases/immediate care issues that go untreated due to an overwhelmed system.

The estimate of hundreds of thousands is only if the death toll is under 1%. Tens to hundreds of millions of Americans will be infected.

The US healthcare system is not remotely equipped to handle a mass pandemic of that scale. Read what some of the doctors out of Italy are talking about. Hospitals filled over capacity with pneumonic patients. It has already spread nationwide and is about to explode in the USA. There is next to no containment because of fears it will crash the market. This isn’t just the flu.

This is from an acute care facility, so these people are old and very sick. But even then, in an normal flu month only 3-7 of them dies in a normal month. Once the new coronavirus got in, 26 people died in three weeks. It isn't lethal enough to cause any civilizational collapse or anything even close to a mad max or zombie fantasy, but it is several times more deadly than the flu.
