Well the news here in Ontario is due to limited test kits, those who seem not infected and more apt to recover will NOT be tested.

So I'm wondering with Lee replys IF the USA can or will handle this as well as Chinese? For Trump to succeed thus is imperative for re-election. if he can do better then China in dealing with this, he is done in the Whitehouse I think. The USA has to get a handle on this and defeat this outbreak ASAP.

I also wonder WHY everything is closing down to roughly April 6th???

Read this to understand why social distancing works better than total short term lockdown

Read that article I posted a few post ago how South Korea has handled their outbreak of COVID-19. Do you see ANY resemblance to what the USA is doing today?

Here is the main problem: we are dealing with an unknown virus. We don't have antivirals which facilitate recovery and we don't have a vaccine.

Flu season is almost 100% during the cold weather months. Just by higher temps, greater indoor humidity and stronger UV rays, these really help in killing off the flu. So our leaders are placing their hopes that warmer weather will help eradicate COVID-19. IMO - it's wishful thinking and nothing more.

Lee, honestly I really don't know how the USA is handling it as I do not live there. My mother is there but coming home this week due to losing 7 figures in her investments and out of country insurance not covering covid 19 stuff. She has been battling a respiratory illness for a couple months now and being 78 would not do well if she gets this.

Dirty-ass crowded China is coming out with what 5 new cases today? Most populated county in the world and they came from behind to seemingly get a handle on it. Can the USA do that now?

I myself am not too worried about it to tell you the truth. I'm only 54, wife is 39 and son is 2. Our odds, even if we get it, are good for FULL recovery. I have enough to think of with my family business and my family to not really get to concerned about other continents of the world. I pay attention, rationalize a thought or reaction, and move on.

Man I must say when I read your comments it sounds like panic. I mean no offense I just feel we need to stay strong and provide some form of positive direction and maintain a level of confidence that the world is not ending. Like many I have lost a significant amount of money and yes I’m concerned .

I spoke to my 90 year old mom who was born during the depression , definitely scary times , but you know what, we got through it and got stronger and I’m confident we will this time! My Mom was very positive and ENCOURAGING !
For those of you that have faith, God gave me comfort in this verse today
