Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd yet Trump is evil for likening it to influenza early on when you had doctors publishing papers in a prestigious medical journal at the very end of February who were still doing just that.
But the Journal piece was written days before publication, and knowledge about the virus moved at a fast clip. It was outdated by the end of next day, 29 Feb!
At the end of December, it was clusters of a mysterious pneumonia, 4 weeks later the Chinese New Year celebrations were cancelled, and it was reported in the news, the Hubei province was quarantined and many in the US were surprised at the heavy hand of the government at the draconian measures.
China underreported its case load, the US has abandoned even reasoned estimate of the number of cases, and are under reporting cases just as China did. But just a few days before the Journal piece was published, cases outside Mainland China exceeded the cases within China.
On 28 Feb, the piece by Fauci (an interview with him) recommended mitigation strategies, a strategy rejected by the administration.
The paper was on 425 cases in Hubei, Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia.

Are you saying that Trump and his administration chose to ignore all the other hard data and rely on the Chinese government official statements?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

It is also interesting to note that as late as February 28th the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine published a paper saying that the virus seemed to be much less severe than other recent outbreaks of respiratory illnesses and would likely be no worse than a severe flu season:

Besides that, S. Korea made their own tests as well, and they did it within a week of their first confirmed case, same day as the U.S. first confirmed case, and they tested hundreds of thousands of people before the U.S. even got started.Last edited by JimL; 04-05-2020, 09:57 AM.
