2020 SEASON SUSPENDED

[Thryleon]

They are implementing the lessons learned form SARS and MERS, so Flyboy77 is partially correct, what they are doing now is not like what they did in the past, because they were so so wrong in the past!This is an excerpt from a book published in 2004 called Learning from SARS, a book with multiple heavily qualified authors and fully peer reviewed by disease specialists. A reference manual they had available and studied at military academies all over the world as part of training for biological warfare. Yet for many weeks the USA, Britain and other countries failed to react due to stupidly thinking closing borders did something. It was a stupid of a reaction as building a wall to stop foreigners! They were guessing about what COVID-19 would be like, and in the end got it wrong paying a massive price that is nowhere yet near it's peak!

It's not a political tome written after the fact like much of the Twitter quoted rubbish floating around!

My Point being is that no one, without exception has seen a disease like COVID19 before, and everyone is flying very much by the seat of their pants.

This is not nor does it look anything like COVID19, and the response has been remarkably different because like I stated previously, in April of 2019, 18300+ positive cases of Influenza vs 100+ in 2020.  That is nationally tested in laboratories and even so, we are still seeing new cases of COVID19 on a daily basis, numbering no where near Influenza levels.

Imagine we had not started washing our hands every 5 mins, most people continued about their business like normal what may have occurred.  I think we are yet to really see what this thing can do, but we are about to find out.  Thats speculation on my behalf, but I doubt we have seen the last of this thing.
