Message Subject The Biggest Lie in Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Address
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The president said we’re “more prepared” than any other country. We’re so not.

On Wednesday night, Donald Trump announced that he would restrict travel from Europe—excluding the United Kingdom—beginning on Friday, for the next 30 days. “Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing,” he said.

The president also attempted to reassure the country by saying the United States is “more prepared” to fight the pandemic than any other nation. “The virus will not have a chance against us,” he said.

Public health officials beg to differ. Our hospitals, experts say, are severely underprepared for the expected number of coronavirus cases. According to biologist Liz Specht, writing in STAT, the United States has about 2.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, and if 10 percent of coronaviruses cases require hospitalization, beds will be at capacity by early- to mid-May. (And, given the lack of testing in the US, it’s not clear how many Americans have been infected in the first place.)

Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist.
Everything we do after will seem inadequate

All Truths Pass-Through 3 Stages

1. It is ridiculed
2. It is violently opposed
3. It is accepted as self-evident

There are so many people..... still stuck on 1. & 2. and can't seem to get to 3. However unfortunate, that is human nature. There's an adjustment period for each of us when we're faced with something that can potentially disrupt our personal lives. For some, that adjustment is short, for some it takes longer and for others, there is no amount of time where they will make it to 3. no matter what.

That's just the way it is.
