Do you actually believe this, or is it like when you said a virus with an aggregate fatality rate likely under 1% is "an existential crisis?"

Sickness, deaths, testing, federal response , organization, truth telling and worst economic response of any country all the worst and I’m only tallying what happened since it hit. Trump actually knew about Pearl Harbor more then 2 months before.

and we have a dumb country making it worse.

Saying sickness and death are "worst" in the United States of any country, ignoring any kind of normalization, is ridiculously naive. Even for you. I think it's clear that the impact on the UK has been worse pretty much any way you spin it. And "federal response" is clearly worse in, say, Sweden and Brazil.

I think the word you’re looking for is extrapolation.

No, it isn't...

I'm a scientist, I think I know the difference.

ok dr mccoy.

I have a big laser. It can burn stuff. So yeah, watch yourself there BC.

I'm curious. Plus my daughter is a scientist. May I ask what Science is your specialty?

Breaking news out of Germany.... China made the WHO delay issuing a global warning about the virus. The WHO has been proven to be an utterly useless organization. They had one job... One Job! And they blew it!

They did a bad job but the USA wasn’t depending on them . We had independent info and sources. Don’t fall for the lies that we were victims of The Who.......tommy can you hear me.

I'm a chemist by training, arguably more of a physicist in practice... If you wanted more specificity, I'm a nonlinear spectroscopist.

My wife, as it happens, is an MPH in infectious disease epidemiology... Not working on covid things at all, but some of her friends from grad school who work for the CDC and WHO certainly are.

TY for answering! My daughter is a biochemist/molecular biologist (something like that..... LOL)...........her husband is a chemist/programmer who works for the biology department at Princeton where she is as well. They're hunkered down.

You are also a political scientist.

did china stock up on PPE while swearing no evidence of human transmission

i don know but i am mighty curious

the true answer to my question will inform me well what i should think of china

not that i would blame them if they did, it makes sense in a dog eat dog world

but if true it kinda puts the kibosh to the we're all in this together sentiment

China has plenty to answer for later.
