They waited too long to declare it a pandemic, shyt like that.
It's funny because my whole life I've been told the US has the most superior intelligence (they did warn about this in Nov) and all this jazz. Yet now we needed the WHO to escalate this for us to take it seriously
Breh you can have all the intelligence in the world it don't matter if your leader or leaders ain't listening.
Hell many say for months that intelligence told FDR that Japan would attack pear harbor and he ignored it.
As for this virus we have an extremely capitalistic society. In which anything that happens can affect the economy. So people will push back any lockdown. We also have a president who is arguably more bought and sold than any president we have ever had (plus he is a dummy).
All of that makes a frightening situation.
