It's these Asian countries governments responses and cultural difference of the people (e.g. strong unity, obedience, naturally cleaner in japan, common sense lol, etc. ) that made those Asian countries flatten the curve on top of all their doctors, scientists, engineers, labs, and access to manufacturing.

South Koreans are probably the top 5 in the world for night life drinking culture yet they matured and stayed home to beat the virus. Not many "if I get corona, I get corona" douche bags at the over there or people fighting over toilet paper.

On another note, Trump disbanded all the pandemic teams in 2018.

I wonder how much that really ****ed us.
They all wear masks.
Westerners basically refuse to wear masks and sometimes even attack those who do so.

Westerners believe that washing your hands can keep the virus away, which sounds like fake science to me.


Also, the government only encourage infected people to wear masks to prevent spreading...but they fail to recognize that there are many unidentified carriers who get to spread the virus freely...

NYers better start avoiding strangers and wear proper gear because the deaths of NYers are starting to show...

https://nypost.com/2020/03/23/brookl...complications/

- Dezann Romain, 36 year old Brooklyn principal dies from coronavirus complications

- Lee Green, former St. John’s guard, dead from coronavirus at 49

- Nashon Wooden, who performed in the downtown Manhattan club scene as drag star Mona Foot, has died from the coronavirus, a friend said Monday. He was 50.

For those that don't seek shelter, don't bother wearing masks, or washing hands regularly. NYC has more infected per square mi than anywhere in the country right now.

NYC is doomed. Too many people are transmitting the virus. The mayor is incompetent, just watch and wait.

Why all of these apocalyptic predictions? I expect the government to get a handle on the situation soon.

He definitely has blood on his hands. His waiting too long to shut down the schools and other things is going to turn out to be the single most important factor in how bad this will turn out to be.
He forced 1.1 million kids and 150,000 workers to commute and interact in extremely close quarters every day and then go home to interact with their families all across the region for weeks while everyone begged him to call a halt to it. Everyone involved knew what was happening yet he stubbornly refused . Criminal.

That is correct. Last night I spoke on the phone with a friend of mine who has 2 tenants in a legally divided house. One of them are already told him that next month he probably won't be able to pay the rent due to no work. My friend told me that he will work out something with him (as this tenant helps with maintenance repairs) and he will also not to try evict the other tenant either who in the past also has always paid their rent in a timely fashion.
