Come on old fella that’s different from the other senators that sold off when they saw the market would go to $h*+. Much different. He’s said so himself! He knew all of our health would be going to $h*t so invested in the companies producing the products that we don’t have enough of to keep everyone alive. all while keeping that message...”calm down, we act on facts and not fear in the state of calm”

Obviously there's a new worldwide demand for the med and there will not be enough of it for a very long time I'd assume? What are the chances the chinese know of another treatment but don't want to share and kill the supply?

The lengths some will go to defend him considering how wrong he was on this is frightening.

For every four people that have recovered, three have passed away. Let's hope it's nothing like that here in the ext 7-14 days.

Ok had to come back. I have to third this. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate everyone that works in healthcare and for sharing your insight here. You are amazing!

How did Taiwan do it then? ok leaving now:)

Been stuck under a rock I take it? it was a matter of days ago that trump said this is nothing to worry about. Now he is recommending to not gather in groups larger than 10 and to stay home. It was also a few days ago that Fox News was defending trump’s stance and making jokes about social distancing. Now they are admitting they were wrong and practicing social distancing themselves. Do we start start taking this seriously finally? Have a good day everyone and please stay safe!

One side?

Trump has admitted he was wrong. Fox News has admitted they were wrong. When will we as ND residents finally catch up and realize this is serious? We have been almost unscathed so far and hopefully we can preserve.

Great idea! Let’s do that!

Because this would likely overwhelm our hospital systems causing many to die.

I’ve given many in this thread but let’s start with what made this thing snowball to where it is today. We denied accepting test kits from the WHO.

I just gave you a specific.

Some early intervention to protect the health of the public would have been nice.

I don’t think most are trying to make this a political hay. I am unhappy about the lack of steps that have been taken to protect US citizens, including my family.

Instead of actually taking measures to protect US citizens, he was out calling out democrats and the media as this being their new hoax. And you see no problems with that? The delay of preventing international flights coming into our country allowed more infected people to come in. In my opinion more incoming flights should have been prevented and much earlier. And no I wouldn’t have been upset if we accepted the test kits that were offered by the WHO. But the cat is now out of the bag. It’s here and it has spread more than we know. The lengths you are going to defend your political views are laughable. I understand this is not a political site so maybe you should set your political views aside and look at what is best to protect your family right now and I will do the same.

So was it a hoax? Trump kept the blinders on for much too long. So many in the Republican Party stayed behind him and kept the message this is nothing to worry about. This all started when he declined to accept test kits from the WHO, a grave mistake that will likely result in the lives of many US citizens. We were assured for weeks by too many in the government that this was nothing to worry about. And now we are in scramble mode. https://apple.news/A6aH5aMvaSYCYgB1MrnpU2w

Interested in what facts they’ve learned in the past 48 hours.

So what was the hoax?

Because we weren’t dealing with a pandemic. We now are and our hospitals are at risk of being overwhelmed.

I won’t bother looking. But let’s compare how the us is handling this vs some other countries. Pretty scary to think China is probably a safer place right now.... https://apple.news/A_krETKvVT7O-bpXhlTdkyQ

Ideally everyone in public should be wearing a mask at this point. This Isnt to protect you but rather everyone around you. The problem is there has been very poor planning by our leaders for months so this isn’t possible.

Weren’t we supposed to be at zero last week?

Health care professionals hands have been tied be many politicians.

Burgum just said yesterday that state will act on fact and not fear. It’s a misleading statement and encourages North Dakotans to live their life as if we are not under a federal emergency. Also I’m not suggesting martial law...we need some of these politicians to swallow their damn pride.
