I totally agree. WTF is wrong with our country. We should have been out in front of this. Frankly, the whole nation should be in quarantine right now to have any chance at slowing this down. Feels like the government isn’t taking this seriously at all.


South Korea did a terrible job until it was too late...


Agree completely. We look like idiots.

I agree. US response is about as efficient as Iran’s.
While countries like Singapore and South Korea are showing us what a first world country should act like.

I think even China did better than US.
Six states are still not testing for coronavirus: Alabama, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Wyoming


I couldn’t agree more. Wishing I didn’t live in the US at the moment. Since the CDC couldn’t get their act together with testing we could at least try being proactive NOW and shut it all down to stem the spread before our health care system is overrun. If we can’t come together on that last straw there will be so many lives lost that could have been saved like in Hong Kong and Vietnam where they contained it. We have had months to prepare and yet we’ve done nothing. I can only imagine if we were the Hubei how we would have been even more screwed but then again I think it’s not much different since we haven’t prepared anymore than China did when they didn’t even see it coming. Yet they built 2 hospitals in 10 day. You think we could have done SOMETHING in that time to prepare. Its really laughable how we mine as well be on par with third world countries. But what can we do to change any of that?



We are crippled by incompetence.

This is what happens when you dismantle the government.

And because of this we’ll have a complete sh*t show here shortly.

MCPS is very likely to close. They've sent an email to that effect recently hinting at potential closures.

In all fairness, West Virginia and Wyoming are somewhat safe, in comparison. At least, for now.

If you kid 'will contract the CV' at school, YOU 'takes responsibility' for sending him to said school and not homeschooling him.
By the way, wherever you came here from, do they 'takes responsibility' when your snowflake catches a cold?

From the latest MCPS email...



"at this time, we are following guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services and our schools will remain open. As we move forward, we are preparing for the possibility of school closures in the future should this become necessary. "


There was an interesting scientific study that has been posted on the internet about containment measure success during the Spanish Flu epidemic. The study looked at effect of the duration between first death in community to institution of various containment measure on the overall fatality rate in the community.

The upshot was that communities that closed schools and banned public gatherings soonest after first death had the lowest fatality rates.

I imagine that this could be explored through lawsuits.
