China was prepared for the release/escape of the virus beforehand. It makes sense if you have a laboratory in your country, whether there is evil intent or not. I don’t quite understand why the rest of the world didn’t prepare. Were the other countries not informed of the level of danger? Simply lackadaisical? Feeling the lab was more secure than reality?
In any event, I think the fast response came from having pre-existing knowledge of the dangers and having a plan in place for the escape of such...

I don’t quite understand why the rest of the world didn’t prepare. Were the other countries not informed of the level of danger? Simply lackadaisical? Feeling the lab was more secure than reality? In any event, I think the fast response came from having pre-existing knowledge of the dangers and having a plan in place for the escape of such... China was more prepared than us because they had experience from the SARS outbreak previously (one of the reasons).
However, THE MAIN REASON (if we want to be Honest & Factual) is how China can/did Response so DAMN Quickly--Remember they Built Five New Hospitals in just 2-weeks, etc.
Every Major Country has such a LAB for research in extreme Virus, Diseases, etc. to study them and to develop vaccines.
In the USA we had a Dept. to deal with such an outbreak that sadly was de-funded under our current President just before the outbreak.
What China did right was MANDATORY RESTRICTIONS (No If's & No But's --see article in my above post--it list all of their AMAZING actions...)
WE on the other hand IGNORED such actions while believing this was just like a FLU TYPE Virus that would go away quickly (Quotes From...).
In the future,hopefully we will learn the majority of facts in regards to this Virus: --Did it begin in the Wet Markets? --OR was it a simple animal to human transfer like EBOLA? --Did it begin in China --When did it begin in China or other country (some experts say as early as Sept 2019). --What each country did do Right/Wrong so we can learn from this outbreak --Did the OUTBREAK happen because of the decrease in land for the Animal Kingdom and passed on thru human contact that used to be rare? --Did the transfer have anything to do with Global Warming/Climate Change?
P.S. From the Virus's Genetic Code, EXPERTS have already determined that it was NOT produced in a LAB but came direct from Nature/Animal Kingdom

"People are going indoors, they're not minding the three W's," Health and Human Services secretary, Alex Azar, told Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday. "Our advice is always the same. Wash your hands, watch your distance, wear face coverings." Health experts have long warned that the holiday season would bring a spike in coronavirus cases as people increasingly gather indoors. As of Sunday, the US averaged 196,233 new cases over the last week, another record high, according to a CNN analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. More than 14.7 million confirmed cases have been reported in the US since the pandemic began, and more than 282,310 people have died. ***12-07-20 B RAVO TO HIM—BUT SAD THAT TO THIS DAY AMERICA IS STILL SHORT OF PPE’S NEEDED: us.cnn.com/2020/12/05/us/mazda-teacher-new-jersey-car-trnd/index.html A teacher who turned his home into a PPE factory during the pandemic was honored with a new car. --12-07-20: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-seven-icu-nurses-want-you-to-know-about-the-battle-against-covid-19/ar-BB1bHThq?li=BBnb7Kz What seven ICU nurses want you to know about the battle against covid-19.

PIC OF THE DAY:
--12-09-20: us.cnn.com/2020/12/09/health/covid-vaccine-distribution-states/index.html With the first shipments of a coronavirus vaccine poised to go out as early as this week, the plan to get the shots from the manufacturers into hospitals, assisted living homes, pharmacies and -- ultimately -- Americans' arms, is still riddled with unknowns.States are already running into challenges when it comes to distributing the vaccine to their first priority group and that is when there are only limited distribution points and a very narrow focus of who is meant to receive the vaccine. The issues around distribution and who gets the vaccine grow even more complicated when states eventually move past their highest priority populations and start opening up more vaccination sites to vaccinate larger groups of the population. At this point, the number of doses each state is getting in its first shipment is fluid and, in many cases, the amount is less than what states were initially told to expect, leading states to change distribution plans even as the first shipments could come as soon as the end of this week.--12-09-20: www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/coronavirus-surges-countries-spend-more-economic-aid-not-u-s-n1250411 As coronavirus surges, countries spend more on economic aid. But not the U.S.
Unlike Western Europe and Canada, the U.S. is asking citizens to face the Covid-19 pandemic without any additional financial cushion from the government.--12-06-20 WE NEED TO DO MORE OF THIS WITH THESE IDIOTS: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/oregon-doctor-s-license-revoked-over-refusal-wear-mask-during-n1250092 The medical license of an Oregon doctor who refused to wear a face mask despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been revoked weeks after a video surfaced of him dismissing Covid-19 as a "common cold."
Steven LaTulippe made the comments Nov. 7 during a "Stop the Steal" rally in support of President Donald Trump outside the State Capitol in Salem.
"I want to expose what I call corona mania," LaTulippe said in a video posted on YouTube by the political group Multnomah County Republicans.
Less than a month later, on Dec. 3, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension after finding that LaTulippe "engaged in unprofessional conduct or dishonorable conduct," online records show.
According to the emergency suspension, LaTulippe in July allegedly told a patient who asked for guidance on when to get tested for the coronavirus that asymptomatic people should not be tested and that wearing a mask does not prevent transmission.
LaTulippe directed the patient not to self-isolate because being around other people would provide immunity from Covid-19, according to the state board's documents.
The medical board also found that LaTulippe and his staff refused to wear masks in the clinic and urged patients to remove their own masks.
Medical board investigators who visited LaTulippe said there were no screening procedures upon entering the premises and no hand sanitizer was available in the waiting area.--12-06-20: MORE VIRUS IDIOTS –UNBELIEVABLE: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/michigan-pastor-faces-backlash-after-encouraging-churchgoers-to-purposefully-get-covid-19/ar-BB1bEYOl?li=BBnb7Kz Michigan pastor faces backlash after encouraging churchgoers to purposefully get COVID-19

Los Angeles County deputies arrested nearly 160 people at a "massive underground party" that violated state coronavirus orders, authorities said.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said the "super-spreader" event, which was held in a vacant home in Palmdale on Saturday, was also the site of alleged underage trafficking.
"This was a flagrant violation of the governor's health order," Villanueva said at a press briefing Tuesday. But, he added, "even without the health order, these actions were criminal in nature."
Los Angeles County deputies arrested 120 adults and 38 juveniles at the party, all of whom were issued citations for violating health orders, authorities said. Among those arrested, five people were also charged with burglary, one with possession of a firearm and one with obstruction.
The "entire organizing network" of the party -- three 18-year-olds and two 17-year-olds -- was arrested, authorities said.--12-09-20 STUPID BE STUPID: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/anti-mask-protesters-descend-on-idaho-s-health-commission-forcing-adjournment-of-vote/ar-BB1bMot0?li=BBnbcA1 Idaho's Health Commission, Forcing Adjournment of Vote Health commissioners in Idaho were forced to adjourn a board meeting on Tuesday night due to safety concerns after protesters gathered outside of the Central District Health facility, reports the Idaho Statesman. The health board was scheduled to discuss a revised public health order for four counties—Ada, Valley, Boise and Elmore—that would impose a mask mandate in public and private places where social distancing by at least 6 feet isn't an option and prohibited gatherings of 10 or more people. Hundreds of protesters, the majority not wearing masks, gathered outside of the CDH building to oppose the measures put forth by the health order. Protesters also gathered outside of at least three board members' homes, according to Boise police. --12-07-20 HOW BAD IT IS: www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/as-virus-spreads-kansas-hospital-runs-out-of-staff/ar-BB1bHZRp?li=BBnb7Kz As virus spreads, Kansas hospital runs out of staff
Lewallen, a radiology technician has been sleeping in an RV in the parking lot of his rural Kansas hospital because his co-workers are out sick with COVID-19 and no one else is available to take X-rays. (Eric Lewallen via The AP)
A doctor and physician assistant tested positive on the same day in November, briefly leaving the hospital without anyone who could write prescriptions or oversee patient care.
The hospital is full, but diverting patients isn’t an option because surrounding medical centers are overwhelmed.
The situation at Rush County Memorial Hospital in La Crosse illustrates the depths of the COVID-19 crisis in rural America at a time when the virus is killing more than 2,000 people a day and inundating hospitals.
The virus is sidelining nurses, doctors and medical staff nationwide, but the problem is particularly dire in rural communities like La Crosse because they don’t have much of a bullpen - or many places to send patients with regional hospitals full.
The staff shortages have forced people like Eric Lewallen, a Gulf War veteran and alfalfa farmer who moonlights as a radiology technician, to mount a last line of defense.
To keep the hospital open, he had no choice but to start living in his RV in the parking lot because he needed to be on site as the only remaining healthy staffer to perform X-rays.--12-05-20: us.yahoo.com/finance/news/china-hard-rock-wont-beaten-001057244.html 'China is a hard rock.

Direct-to-consumer premium pet gear brand founder Sophie Bakalar said her company experienced “unprecedented growth” and “surpassed projections by more than three times.”
Bakalar said that she doesn’t see this as a “short term blip” during the pandemic, because of the emotional value of pets and the fact that people aren’t simply returning their animals when the pandemic is over.

VIRUS PIC OF DAY:
***--12-10-20 RAISES MANY QUESTIONS; LIKE DID IT EVEN BEGIN IN CHINA??? us.yahoo.com/news/italian-boy-found-coronavirus-more-144934221.html Italian boy found with coronavirus more than a year ago could be Europe's first caseA four-year-old Italian boy contracted Covid-19 as far back as November last year, Italian scientists believe, in a discovery that could dramatically rewrite the timeline of the spread of the illness. The finding would suggest that the coronavirus was circulating in Italy much earlier than expected – the pandemic was not officially detected until late February. It could fundamentally alter the understanding of when the virus entered Europe from China, where it is thought to have originated. Until now, it was thought that Europe's earliest detected case was a 43-year-old Frenchman from Paris who fell ill in late December. “This finding is of importance because it expands our knowledge on timing and mapping of the SARS-CoV-2 transmission pathways,” the researchers said. “Long-term, unrecognized spread of SARS-CoV-2 in northern Italy would help explain, at least in part, the devastating impact and rapid course of the first wave of COVID-19 in Lombardy.” The little boy, from a town near Milan in the Lombardy region, began to feel ill on November 21, suffering from flu-like symptoms and a rash, and it was initially thought that he was suffering from measles. … The boy had not traveled abroad around the time he fell ill, suggesting he contracted it in Italy. The research is likely to be seized on by China, which has been aggressively pushing the theory that the virus did not originate in Wuhan. Beijing has been accused by the international community of covering up exactly when and where the virus emerged. The finding may not mean that the virus did not originate in China – just that it was circulating there much earlier than thought and was then brought to Italy. --12-08-20 WE SHOULD DO THE SAME IN AMERICA--BRAVO: www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/virus-mandatory-vaccine-brazil-bolsonaro/2020/12/06/31767b4a-33e5-11eb-8d38-6aea1adb3839_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_todays_worldview&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_todayworld&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F2d61bc1%2F5fcf07859d2fda0efb821c81%2F596b994aade4e24119b67bb3%2F39%2F73%2Fda460dce6ed3dc8c045fd9bd6c848ae8 Should a coronavirus vaccine be mandatory?

As coronavirus vaccines begin rolling out — a crucial step in ending the pandemic that has killed more than 1.5 million people and caused economic pain around the globe — Melinda Gates is urging leaders of wealthy countries not to forget about the rest of the world.
"Everybody needs this vaccine," Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, told CNN's Poppy Harlow in a broadcast interview Thursday.
"If we only get it to the high-income countries, this disease is going to bounce around.
We're going to see twice as many deaths. And our recovery of our economies is going to be much slower than if we get the vaccine out to everybody." |

Hi Gang!
I’m starting to feel better. Not perfect, but well enough that after Christmas I want to go back to work.
Yesterday afternoon my 80+ year old neighbor called me and asked me to help him with his wife. She had been sick for several days, diagnosed with bronchitis and tested negative with COVID. She couldn’t get out of her chair to go to the bathroom.
She was so weak that I was afraid we’d drop her and I suggested we call an ambulance. They took her to the hospital. About 5 hours later they sent her back home IN THE SAME CONDITION!.
Her left arm had no feeling and she couldn’t move it. And now she was testing positive for COVID.
She’s back in the hospital today (where she desperately needed to stay).
Anyway, Ruthie and I have now been exposed to “it”. Since she had been tested negative we had no idea that she had COVID.
I guess we’ll just quarantine for 1.5 weeks and hope for the best. Not much we can do about it. 😋
