I still don't get it, can someone explain?

Brutal and enraging article. But I’m sure the usual crowd will be all about excuses for Mr. I Won’t Take Responsibility.

Dude, give it a rest. China has it under control. We haven’t.The world was screwed when China allowed 5 million people to flee Wuhan before instituting any quarantines what so ever.

Highest number of new cases in the world now, exceeding Italy

Crazy how this disease has been politicized. I wonder if it has been politicized like this in Spain or Italy? It’s really too bad that people in this country couldn’t handle this like past pandemics. We’re all in it together.
Nothing to worry about, it is a democratic hoax and the cases should disappear soon.
In context, Trump did not say in the passage above that the virus itself was a hoax. He instead said that Democrats’ criticism of his administration’s response to it was a hoax. He muddied the waters a few minutes later, however, by comparing the number of coronavirus fatalities in the U.S. (none, at that point in time) to the number of fatalities during an average flu season, and accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode”:Even the left leaning Snopes fact check says Trump never called the virus a hoax. I’d encourage you to go back and listen to what was actually said, instead of what it says on your Facebook feed. This whole “Trump called it a hoax” is like a litmus test for how rational or unbiased a content source is on this topic.

The ‘cats out of the bag’ moment of realization should have been when Iran’s first reported cases were 2 deaths, followed by confirmed cases in nearly every MENA country. I had a post about this in some “disappeared” thread that was about corona very early on. Part of me believed Trump has an earnest effort in the beginning because I thought they actually understood what they were up against but naturally it was all fluff. The ‘15 to zero’ cases bit was where I knew it was entirely unchecked. It was a outbreak response akin to our 09 playoff loss to the Ravens. And here we are. Preparing some Americans to have last rights read via teleconference with our loved ones in quarantine.You guys want to revisit a simpler time, re-read the beginning of the thread, when yours truly, not wanting to make waves, timidly asked whether, if the unthinkable happens, they'd play games in empty stadiums. Some of those early posters have made themselves scarce. 13 buddy, God bless you, you don't give up as easily. Hope you're right about the quinine cure.
1 week ago, 60 Americans had died of the virus. This week, more than 300.

Unlike the "infected" number, the death number doesn't change because you are testing more.
This could be an outlier. But let's say it's not.
One more week's fivefold increase makes 1500.
Two more weeks makes 7500.
Three more weeks makes 37,500.
One month makes 187,000.
The only effective measures anywhere thus far seem to be social distancing and lockdowns. Let's hope that's effective, now that ****'s getting real.
The Feds are mysteriously abandoning the states in terms of equipment, with the toddler in chief criticizing the great waste of disposing of single use masks and gowns.
Keeping my eyes peeled for the green shoots, of course. Mentally prepared for numbers like the above. Can't really be mentally prepared for a personal impact but who can?
Enjoy your time with older or more frail loved ones, just in case and all that
