 DC>  DS> Which pandemic are you talking about?  Try looking up the statistics 
 DC>  DS> the Ebola pandemic and compare the number of infections and deaths in
 DC>  DS> the USA to the number of same from Covid-19 as of today -- and we are
 DC>  DS> just getting started.
 DC> 
 DC> They are usually talking about H1N1.  They don't like to
 DC> talk about Ebola because it doesn't fit their narrative.
 DC> Oddly enough, they're wrong about H1N1, though.  A timeline
 DC> of events:
 DC> 
 DC> Apr 15, 2009: First case of H1N1 diagnosed in the US.
 DC> Apr 22, 2009: CDC activates emergency operations.
 DC> May 15, 2009: Over 1,000,000 tests released
 DC> Aug 31, 2009: Prototype vaccine developed
 DC> 
 DC> So. Four and a half months from first case to an early
 DC> vaccine.  Compare to Trump on COVID-19:
 DC> 
 DC> Jan 22, 2020: "We have it totally under control.  It's one
 DC>   person coming in from China.  It's going to be just fine."
 DC> Feb 02, 2020: "We pretty much shut it down coming in from China."
 DC> Feb 24, 2020: "The Coronavirus is very much under control in
 DC>   the USA... Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"
 DC> Feb 25, 2020: "CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job
 DC>   of handling Coronavirus."
 DC> Feb 25, 2020: "I think that's a problem that's going to go away...
 DC>   They have studied it.  They know very much.  In fact, we're
 DC>   very close to a vaccine."
 DC> Feb 26, 2020: "The 15 (cases in the US) within a few days is
 DC>   going to be down to close to zero."
 DC> Feb 26, 2020: "We're going very substantially down, not up."
 DC> Feb 27, 2020: "One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear."
 DC> Mar 04, 2020: "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of
 DC>   people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and
 DC>   even going to work -- some of them go to work, but they get better."
 DC> Mar 06, 2020: "Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that
 DC>   needs a test gets a test."  (As of Mar 15, 2020, the US had
 DC>   administered less than 5,000 tests, according to the CDC.)
 DC> Mar 06, 2020: "I don't need to have the numbers double because
 DC>   of one ship that wasn't our fault."
 DC> Mar 09, 2020: "This blindsided the world."
 DC> 
 DC> Well, it blindsided the president!  He's in way, way over
 DC> his head.  For the good of the country, he should at least
 DC> admit it and find someone competent to manage the crisis.
 DC> 
 DC> World-wide cases just topped 182,000 cases.  In the US, we've
 DC> topped 4,200 and are doubling roughly every three days.  Since
 DC> we do not have wide-scale testing, because Trump turned down
 DC> tests from the WHO, we have no idea whether the social distancing
 DC> measures put into place over the last week and a half are
 DC> working, let alone sufficient.
 DC> 
 DC> This isn't funny anymore, guys; it's time to let the adults
 DC> take over and fix the mess.
