Great press conference last Friday by member of the W.H.O. who went to China and formed a joint task force to evaluate the epidemic. Bottom line is, basically, that the Chinese did a ridiculously good job of reining it in - and we are in no way prepared to do the same. You can expect a rapid increase in cases in the US over the next month I believe. Plan accordingly.
Very interesting info KML. I’m just curious who is claiming the Chinese did “a ridiculously good job” of handling this breakout? Was it the Chinese themselves saying how great they’ve done? I ask because I recently met with some, I believe, well informed, and I know, high ranking state medical officials who claim otherwise - that the Chinese have not done well and are in fact not being truthful with the rest of the world. For one they believe that the number of Chinese cases are much higher than they have reported - which is likely a good thing as it would make the death ratio much lower as the number of deaths are accurate but may be based on as many as double the reported cases, therefore half the death rate. The folks I talked with also assert that the belief the US not being prepared is, yet again, politically motivated. It’s always all Trump’s fault ya know. Lol.
Who knows who is correct or what the real truth is going to end up being. It just sounded to me, at least from these folks, that it’s not nearly as bad nor deadly as hyped or feared. I’m hoping they are correct. Again only time will tell.
