I totally agree with you. >china and south korea both explicitly stated that they were transitioning to wartime footing to combat the virus. we need to follow in their footsteps. we need billions of dollars in spending, suspension of normal daily life, and requisitioning of the necessary resources from private entities if needed. and we need to do this today. now. this afternoon. preferably before 5 PM. this isn't a problem to be left until tomorrow. This won't happen in North America. As a Chinese who reads Chinese and English news sources everyday, it appears while China is very heavy handed in censorship for anything coronavirus related, in NA there is too much misinformation floating around, to the point that people cannot agree on anything. Specifically western media have been producing outrage porn for clicks around Covid 19 for a while, resulting in much misinformation on how China's measurements in combatting the virus are inhumane and in violation of human rights, that even talking about those options will bring so much negativity into the discussion. Apparently inaction and incapability of the government and every one only takes care of themselves are not human right violation. Even we don't have a cure, slowing down the spread is a huge win in for the healthcare system as a whole.[1] 1. https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-china https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-ch...
