Do you believe in abstraction that a disease can be much worse than another disease in terms of transmission rates and casualties even if they are both diseases?

That's the main thing with COVID-19, rapid transmission & 2x exponential growth

Well, for me, the real offense is that he's mayor.

Though, yea, I agree that non-essential travel should be minimized. I can hate the player, but not the game, right?

Well forget who is saying it. The message is correct at this time. It can save you or someone you care about the suffering of a flu. Last time I had it was 15 years ago. Plus this one can be worse. If you don't have to travel don't. It's that simple.

Will, my opinion on how the US government handled this is sort of the converse of my opinion on this in regards to how the South Korea government handled this. We were a latecomer to the corona party and there were tests already in existence and that had rapidly scaled up in production elsewhere earlier. There was essentially an earlier national failure to ramp things up for testing and clearly communicating this was a threat and how to minimize things softly early on, so now it's blunt force instrument time like in Italy.
