When a patient dies in an ambulance blocked by a freeway protest it puts a different twist on the whole thing. i.e. You can protest, but there is a reason we decided to avoid anarchy and become civilized instead.

Could you be referring to the U.S. Constitution (1st amendment specifically)? The same constitution Donny pisses on any chance he gets?

Quarantine is a tool to isolate the infected and those waiting for test results. Why do you righties see the Q word everywhere you look? Had we (the U.S.) done testing, contact tracing and quarantine as necessary from the beginning we wouldn't be where we are now. Substitute competent leadership for forceful arm of the fed. We wouldn't have an idiot that listens to witch doctor to validate what comes out of his feeble mind.

Your opinion.
In that article:
Quote:
The United States, Brazil, Mexico and Britain have been particularly hard hit in recent weeks by the disease COVID-19, as their governments have struggled to come up with an effective response.
No coincidence that those places have leaders have taken Covid-19 lightly. Also note that two out of three of those leaders have caught Covid-19.

Again the Reicht's hopes of a vaccine so we can get back to business (the rich getting richer) as usual. Had Obama been in charge he would have handled it just like the Ebola outbreak. The spread would have been slowed and tens of thousands fewer would be pushing up daisies.

Here's your Pandemic Response Update. Some might call it satire, but only in the sense that the White House would never be this honest....

It's entertaining! It's enlightening! It's only 3:37 long!

These things require cooperation and a huge number of Americans are unwilling to cooperate with the government.
Most Americans cannot or will not use COVID-19 contact tracing apps: poll

More broadly:
Everyone Has a Contact-Tracing App, and Nobody’s Happy About It

Only South Korea and China had contact tracing programs ready and people complied in using them:
In China, This Coronavirus App Pretty Much Controls Your Life
Seoul’s Radical Experiment in Digital Contact Tracing

These were also among the first nations with documented cases outside of China. Brazil's first case came from Italy.
54.8% of COVID-19 cases imported to Brazil by March 5 came from Italy
Quote:
In contrast with China and other countries where the disease spread slowly, in Brazil more than 300 people started the epidemic; most were passengers flying in from Italy

Except Obama didn't handle anything. When Ebola was identified, they quarantined him in a hospital which is protocol for infectious diseases. Two treating nurses were infected by him. Other than that, it didn't spread because Ebola isn't nearly as contagious as COVID-19 (it's in bodily fluids, not air).

Last I looked, MS doesn’t have a border with MX, once again showing that the idiot OP’s conspiracy theory is bullshit, as always.

As most conspiracy theories are. The most amusing is the QAnon theory of government being run by lizard people
