Their area was quarantined in early February.How long were they closed down?
That's great to hear. I wish our leadership would have responded the way the S. Korean leadership did. It was impressive to read their response and action. I was talking to my co-worker who is from Seoul and he mentioned it would be highly unusual to see anyone without a wearing a mask in public. Here in the States, I barely see anyone wearing a mask.are getting back to normal! He had his first class since the outbreak started there, and said that they have the virus on the run.

Then why is our leadership receiving so many compliments from legitimate Medical Experts on it was handled in this country? Far more proactive than the leadership in place for the 2009 H1N1. You may want to survey some global medical experts on the handling of H1N1 in this country and the bogus vaccine that was put in front of US citizens. Don’t take my word. Do a little research and you might be surprised what you learn.That's great to hear. I wish our leadership would have responded the way the S. Korean leadership did.

First off - yes, it's true that the US response to H1N1 was a bit delayed in 2009/2010. However, the eggs were already in the flu-basket in terms of response to a pandemic ... so our infrastructure was already geared toward a flu-based epidemic. Thus, having a muted external response may easily have been attributable to an internal response that felt that our resources were already directed toward the problem. All told, H1N1 led to an estimated 12500 deaths in the US (roughly 3500 confirmed deaths) ... with an estimated mortality rate of 0.02%.Then why is our leadership receiving so many compliments from legitimate Medical Experts on it was handled in this country?

It will go away, just depends if we have a vaccine for when It comes back.

Please link any positive remarks from medical experts about US leadership. I haven’t seen them and doubtful they exist. Trump busy praising himself for TV ratings of his news conferences but still clueless about science of it all
My wife's two kids live in Tokyo. Her daughter doesn't work so she has been at home, but her son has still been riding the train an hour and a half to and from work each day. I have been to Tokyo twice and can tell you this. There is no such thing as social distancing on those trains. You packed in as tight as they can, then they add more. So, I have heard that Japan only has 52 deaths. I know everyone is wearing a mask. They had run out so my wife bought $15 worth of masks (before people in the US started buying them) and it cost us $63 to send them. With the majority of the people in the US infected in large cities, and guessing that most Americans do not wear masks I am thinking that might be a lot of the difference.are getting back to normal!

Maybe wearing masks is more important than we have been lead to believe.My wife's two kids live in Tokyo.

Yeah. I'm not an expert, I just play one on Rivals , but I know it is common for people in Japan to wear a mask even if they just have a cold. My guess is that most people in the US (me included) don't think it looks cool to wear a mask, so we don't and are much more susceptible.Maybe wearing masks is more important than we have been lead to believe.
I wonder of wearing some sort of sun gator like a Buff would be more effective than wearing nothing. I have been on those Japanese trains, I was in Tokyo last July, and you are correct. They are packed in like sardines. And many of them wear masks. If the train is too packed, they have people wearing rubber gloves who shove people onto the trains.Yeah.

I was just their for two weeks that the end of October until Nov. 13th. I am Claustrophobic which made the train rides at rush hour hell. LOL My wife's kids live in Warabi which is a suburb of Tokyo. I do have to say, I love Japanese Ramen. I can't find a Ramen place in Des Moines that my wife will accept. She is Philippine but spent 24 years in Japan, and she is very picky about her Ramen. Only fresh homemade pasta in Japan, and frozen pasta in the US from what I can see.I wonder of wearing some sort of sun gator like a Buff would be more effective than wearing nothing.

"he mortality rate is an order of magnitude OR TWO worse for covid-19 compared to H1N1" - Still SMALLFirst off - yes, it's true that the US response to H1N1 was a bit delayed in 2009/2010. However, the eggs were already in the flu-basket in terms of response to a pandemic ... so our infrastructure was already geared toward a flu-based epidemic. Thus, having a muted external response may easily have been attributable to an internal response that felt that our resources were already directed toward the problem. All told, H1N1 led to an estimated 12500 deaths in the US (roughly 3500 confirmed deaths) ... with an estimated mortality rate of 0.02%.
Confirmed deaths in the US for the current pandemic are ALREADY at around 2600 dead ... and that number is rising every hour. Across all age groups, it's not outlandish to estimate the mortality rate to be in the ball-park of 2%.
What's the significance of the above information? First ... we're dealing with a virus that we don't have the same preparedness for ... our pandemic preparedness has been geared more towards the flu-virus ... not Corona-type viruses. Second ... the mortality rate is an order of magnitude OR TWO worse for covid-19 compared to H1N1.
So when you're dealing with a virus that is potentially 100 times more deadly than H1N1 ... and you don't have a medical infrastructure that is prepared for it ... you better have an immediate response.
To suggest that our nation's initial response was commendable would be revisionist history. Unless you've missed it ... we're being told to brace for the possibility of up to 200000 deaths in the USA alone!

Get me a Hawkeye mask I will wear it.Yeah. I'm not an expert, I just play one on Rivals , but I know it is common for people in Japan to wear a mask even if they just have a cold.

Can I suggest Kinnick Stadium in September to start the clinical trial?

Fact: Trump said the virus was no big deal. Sick? Go to work anyway. Videos and written reports from legitimate news sources are available everywhere to verify this.
Fact: Trump recently called A-Rod for advice on handling the pandemic.
Fact: Trump was told in January the virus was coming and laughed it off. Now he says, "Nobody could have seen this coming." Actually, everybody in the health community saw it coming, told him, and he ignored it. Look it up.
Fact: One of the first things Trump did was to dismantle Obama's pandemic response team designed to handle this exact situation. Had it still been in place, the US would be more like S. Korea now rather than Italy.
Fact: Trump's ignorant, arrogant mishandling of everything has now culminated in putting you, me, and every other American at risk of serious illness or death.
Fact: This president is a sociopath and a pathological liar, an egomaniac, a bully, and a coward who--like serial killers--has not a drop of empathy. The list of dangerous character traits could go on almost indefinitely.
It's one thing to disagree on politics, it's an entirely different thing to watch the world's greatest democracy being torn to shreds by a megalomaniac who is putting the very lives of those who blindly support him--and everyone else--in mortal danger.
BTW: When he signed the relief bill the other day, one of the first things the president said was that he wanted his signature on the checks going to individuals. Normally, a nameless civil servant signs such checks. And then the president, with nothing better to do, went on Twitter to brag about what great TV ratings he's getting on his virus press briefings. Meanwhile, the US lacks enough 75-cent masks and gloves to keep doctors and nurses safe as they treat COVID-19 victims. He mocks the disabled. He blames everyone else for his constant failures. He "has a hunch" the virus will just go away instead of listening to the doctors, researchers, and other experts. And THIS is the entity you defend, that you want to vote for again? What is wrong with you? No decent parent would put up with such behavior for a minute from an 8-year-old, but millions bow down to the entity who, thanks only to the quirk of the Electoral College, has the US on the brink of disaster.
Let me guess, your not a Trump supporter? LOL You mention his constant failures, like what? I mean, before the CHINESE set this virus loose on the earth, we had record low unemployment, record low BLACK unemployment, markets were setting records and he was getting the wall built which he promised.........See, this is WHY you don't bring up politics on a sports forum, because at half the board is with you and half against, and your just opening up Pandora's box. I mean, I can argue politics all day long with you, but why, THIS IS A FREAKING SPORTS FORUM. And with all due respect, half the people you list on the bottom of all your posts are scumbags. LOL....So is this what you want on the Forum? If not, please drop the political bullshit. BTW, do you realize that Trumps has good poll numbers on how he has handled the Covid-19 crisis?Fact: Trump said the virus was no big deal. Sick? Go to work anyway.

Please explain how a 100 fold difference in mortality rate is "still small." Right now it doesn't quite compute."he mortality rate is an order of magnitude OR TWO worse for covid-19 compared to H1N1" - Still SMALL
