Well that's really great news.
Does anyone see the US taking the same draconian measures that China took? Personally I don't see it . . . yet.
IMO any of the actions states and the Fed are taking today are nowhere near enough to contain the pandemic.
China knew that it's economy absolutely depended on quick containment. Here in the US it seems any containment rules are half assed and won't really do enough to stop the spread of the virus. They are trying to stop panic by offering quasi containment rules.
We are not doing enough and it's going to show when the deaths in the US begin to approach those that Italy is currently experiencing and the entire country of Italy is on lockdown.
Look at that POP by Age chart I posted. 29% of our pop is highly susceptible. That's almost one out of every three people.
And keep this in mind . . . go to any hospital. They aren't sitting around playing gin rummy. They all have sick people who are sick by other issues, not by the virus.
Where is the response like we saw after 9/11?
