Several posters enjoy nothing more than blame assigning and finger pointing.  Not particularly helpful.

 @Puppy Lips  Our government waited 6 weeks to act from the time they got the information.That's why we're behind in testing.But at this point we have to look forward not backward.

Vast cuts were made to areas of our health and human services and CDC structure that would have been involved from the beginning of alerts regarding what was happening in China. Also people with experience in public health and epidemiology were let go.

China knew of the outbreak long before they let the rest of the world know.

I've also seen stories on the news about those that take advantage of the situation.  Most often target the elderly.  When caught I think we should lock them up and throw away the key.  

I'm always shocked at some of the scams ppl fall for bc many have been happening for years.  I do know this - if someone is coming to homes door to door - definitely a scam.
