Spoken like a ignorant person who has decided to stop even trying to be rational and submit wholly to fear. SMH.

If you are saying their should be a nation wide restriction on travel, movement, commerce, and lockdown of inhibitants like a prison, then you are not just defending marshall law, you are advocating it.

S. Korea and the US aren't apples and oranges, S. Korea was hit and instituted a policy of information spreading. Telling people how to reduce exposure and pushing testing so that people could know their status and self isolate. Privately stores said hey if you aren't being proactive in limiting exposure we won't let you in our stores, no government force, private market measures and government pushing knowledge to save, not fear mongering to increse their power.

Look at italy, they locked cities and the nation down and they have found nothing but more new cases, people building resentment and lack of community. S. Korea did the opposite, killed new cases in a week and are getting ready to go back to normalcy, quicker than even china.

You want to learn a lesson from history, marshall law and totalitarian measures, historically once implemented are "authorizations" that never go away, because suddenly everything will be a matter of national health and require the authority more and more often. All while its turned against those that society marginalizes first. Who do you think that is in the US?

man you compared south korea with the united states and i said these countries are completely different. i never defended or advocated for marshall law or a lockdown. South south korea has a completely different culture than the USA. you mentioned south korea informing their citizens on how to become safe but thats one part of the equation. their citizens listen and are largely cooperating. does south korea have major media networks or government officials downplaying the virus?


italy didn't act as early as south korea which allowed the virus to spread further. italy's customs such as personal greetings and large families inhabiting a dwelling made the situation worst during the quarantine.

south korea was doing well treating the first 30 coronavirus patient, then the 31st patient came along and decided not cooperate with quarantine or sanitary advice. patient 31 was the source of 80% of new infections in the country. thats the sort of ignorance and rugged individualism i expect from my fellow Americans and thats why self-quarantined almost 2 weeks ago.

I'm fully aware of the threat posed by the precedent of a lockdown, government overreach is always present during national emrgencies or tragedies. Israel just said they're going to be tracking all movements of covid-19 patients through their cell phones and thats gonna be their new normal now.

Was just gonna say its gonna be a wrap for the startenders. No one coming to throw money and risk catching something.
without corona you could catch a variety of std's i don't think people will stop until the clubs physically shut down, food and sex are the number 1 thing people think about it.

So you assert that americans don't listen or that koreans dont have the news that is run by the government even though they do.

Smh.

Like I said to the other panicked poster, stop looking for ways to make this more than what it is.

Self isolate if you think you have it bit most importantly stay away from high risk populaces the most, you know the folks that will actually die.

As for telling me avout israel, what does it matter? I care about fighting the normalcy of that bs here.

He's responsible for not being prepared for this. He literally done the opposite of everything a responsible leader would have done. Flat-out incompetent. The lack of testing is prime evidence of such. We shouldve learned from other countries, instead, he was trying to deny it and downplay it like an idiot.

it is all rather easy to ascertain why this happened.
trump cut the cdc,...the world leader in recognizing disease control and here we are.

simple as that.
