WHO head of emergencies Mike Ryan said the coronavirus pandemic has been severe and affected every corner of the planet. “But this is not necessarily the big one,” he said. “This is a wake-up call. We are learning now how to do things better; science, logistics, training and governance, how to communicate better. But the planet is fragile. We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue. If there is one thing we need to take from this pandemic, with all of the tragedy and loss, is we need to get our act together. We need to honor those we’ve lost by getting better at what we do every day.”

During today’s pandemic, it’s impossible to ignore the stark contrast between what is being asked of health care workers and the unwillingness of many Americans to make even the smallest sacrifice to protect others. Seeing the difficulty with which many of our neighbors summon even a modicum of respect for others’ lives is discouraging to say the least, and at times makes caring for patients on the front lines feel futile for physicians.

I see the same in Evangelical Christians, too, with their talk of Armageddon destroying everyone not their particular brand of Evangelical.

Yanno, we could stop Covid-19 almost dead in its tracks, if we just made N95s available to everyone, and they used them in indoor public exposure. Also, if people limited their household contacts and didn't hold big parties.

Seems simple, and minimal impact on anyone's freedoms.

They questions are, why haven't we changed even as we see the cliff we're jumping off of; and what would it take?

Clueless TO that. TO.

Jesus Christ you're dumb. Can you make just one single post where you don't fuck up English please?

Your "education" didn't do anything more for your low double digit IQ than carrying around a smart phone does for it.

It's a wonder you haven't forgotten to breathe in your sleep by now.

If you're actually an adult, start acting like one. Because all I see is a stupid and frightened little child.

Poor Jack, he gets so irritated and distressed when he is shown to be a fool that he looks for any reason no matter how small, to avoid the gist of what was posted. In this case he seizes onto the word too. Well Jack, I hate to disappoint but a Microsoft word spelling & grammar check says the sentence is good to go. What’s the gest of that? It’s good enough for these threads. And, it’s good enough to make you look stupid once again. That is where your real talent rests.

Wow, as is the case most times, you manage to grab onto something that makes you look stupid in multiple posts. Way to go Jack=ass.

Yes, Jack. Everyone does die but you keep singling out the old. And death isn't solely the purview of the old. Babies die all over the world every day and some of them while still in utero without having even taken that first sweet breath of life.

Children of all ages and teenagers of all ages die every day all over the world. Some through accidents, some through undiagnosed medical conditions, some through war, some through criminal activity of their own doing as teenagers. Some because adults are being a-holes.

People in their 20s die every day all over the world as well from accidents, undiagnosed medical conditions, through war, criminal activity and some because other people are being a-holes.

Same thing for people in their 30s and into their 40s like you Jack.

Yup. Lots of people die every day of a lot of things. Though it's typically the old that die of diseases by a very large margin.

Because you don't give a fuck about anybody's death, so why would you give a fuck about their jobs, or their depression/ suicide.

Yup. What do you care? You already stole everything you need to live out your days not worrying about you or yours, so you can just sit back the rest of your life and demand that those younger than you who are paying your social security checks behave the way that you want them to.

Glad you find it amusing.

Again depressingly, we see the complete incompetence of Trumps administration. Hundreds of thousands of needless deaths. Perhaps the only justice we can be sure of, is historians are going to destroy him, most of his cabinet, the senate and all those who enabled and Irrationally followed him.

I wouldn't be so sure it's incompetence and not purposeful negligence, like slowing the mail. "Let's not be in too fast a rush... make sure we do it right... wink" its another way of putting his foot on the brakes without seeming to do so. He's been in a murderous mood lately - power tripping every time the numbers of dead people (Americans in this case) go up. He's a saddist - just another one of his *character traits.*
