I think everyone was slow to act, except for the travel ban from China in last January. That was good. I think the slow action had a lot to do with not knowing what we were in for - China covered shit up for a long time, and they still are. The travel ban from Europe was clearly too late, and the massive spring break parties on the Gulf beaches were a fiasco.
Early March, the NY mayor was encouraging people to go on with their lives. End of February the House speaker was urging people to party in SF's Chinatown. Most governors all across the country had their heads up their asses.
Then, the shit it the fan in late March and everyone is pointing fingers all of a sudden. That is when things turned partisan, and THAT, is unfortunate.
This is like a war. I wish we could all come together and do what is right for one another.
We must declare our Independence Day on this virus and knock it out.
In my mind, this is NOT a political post. It's non-partisan. But, if it must be deleted, so be it. I won't be offended one iota.
