Except in NY, where the nursing homes were forced to take Covid-19 positive residents back. In what was undoubtedly the most idiotic decision of this entire pandemic!! When this is all over I would like to see the figures for old people KILLED, after the forced entry of Covid positive & untested residents, into NY nursing homes.


NYC should have closed subways, metro trains and buses, and instituted social distancing sooner.
At the very least those "in charge" should not have been ENCOURAGING subway use!!

USA citizens below age 40 with no co-morbidities should have social distanced but continued to run the US economy on overtime.
Yes! iagree


As a “national defense” measure we need government funded bunker style hospitals under the command of the Surgeon General with large numbers of ICU beds and equipment on standby and supplies in stockpiles. Terrorists and hostile governments have watched all this.
They did set them up where they were requested... most went largely unused


We DO NOT have enough food stockpiled.
Governments 5000 years ago understood food stockpiling better than present day governments!
The movement towards "Fresh Organic food", worked against the nation in this case.
As did the streamlining of supply chains, where warehouses are no longer stocked with a multi-month supply

In-line above ^^^

Hindsight is always clearer... hopefully people use it to better prepare for the next time.
But times being what they are... it will just be used by each side as talking points to attack the other. frown
