Future pandemic

Our reaction to the pandemic is the same as it was for the first SARS. We didn't change anything. Wear a mask, wash your hands, social distancing.

Moreover, we spend a lot of time discussing the worth of our homemade masks. People have jumped into the breach left by our nonleading, grifting pRes and are attempting to make a mask that is profitable for them and that works as well. Meanwhile, the Trump Crime Family is stealing the N95 masks from buyers.

In the first pandemic of SARS, we failed to develop a safe vaccination, and stopped trying.

I think that a lot could have been done if we had a plan to provide everyone within our borders with boxes of N95 masks at the outset. We could have revved up production massively and sent a monthly supply of masks for going out to pick up the monthly necessities, like food runs and such. People could have rationed their own masks to last a month until the next shipment came to them.

We do not know if anyone private is quietly developing a vaccine. Around the world, people are trying. But here, Trump is obstructing our own efforts to stop this pandemic. I truly believe that both money and politics are hindering our efforts.

You can see where this CV19 pandemic is heading. Even if the infection rate slows down a bit, with this hard push to reopen, it is going to be a problem for a long time.

If we want to reopen, and we do, because the economy is crashing, then Trump (who doesn't care because he is not hungry himself) could have worn a mask. Then, he could have made an order for everyone to wear one when outside their own home. If he really wanted to be grandiose, he could have sent a care package including masks, gloves, and sanitizers to everyone.

Of course, he would have had to give up his family's grifting on our time and dime. I think it would have been cheaper for us to provide what we need to cut down the virus. As it is, we haven't changed a DAMNED thing that we have done in the past. When will we learn?
