The number of sick keeps on increasing at an exponential rate with no hint of slowing down.

The next 2 to 3 weeks are going to be even worse than now. As of March 29 we're already at 300,000 and counting.

Instead of proactively dealing with this pandemic, we've been one step behind EVERYBODY out there since day one.

Korea has 1/6 of US population. Their first case started the same date as us, 12/31/2019.

Their peak is long gone and their covid 19 cases are much much lower than ours.

Right now we have 15 times more cases than them despite only having 6 times more in population.

https://www.healthline.com/health-ne...tling-covid-19

Death rate right now is around 2.7%, 8,100 dead out of 300,000. Numbers keep changing but safe to say this virus is much deadlier than your common flu.

With no real leadership at the federal level, conflicting recommendations from the very top, and the dislike of most population to wear masks, we're going to suffer much more heavy losses than necessary.

Korea only quarantined the sick, the at risk and the elderly. Everyone else continued to go to work and keep their economy going.

Still if you listen to the epidemiologists they say that there is anywhere from 5 to 7 times the number infected versus the number of confirmed cases, so taking that into account the mortality rate in the United States would then be even lower than the roughly 2% the CDC quotes.

Korea did that because they run a much more effective campaign against the virus compared to us. They have a massive, nationwide testing program in place very early on. That's how they were able to find out where the virus is rampaging and then direct their efforts accordingly.

They acted much quicker to ramp up production of ventilators and masks. Made masks available to all citizens, and throttle the distribution to their drug stores so no one is allowed to hoard or resale for profit.

They are able to continue their economy because they took this outbreak serious RIGHT FROM THE START!

Not like us, we dragged our feet... Compared to Korea or Germany, we are 1 to 2 months late in implementing just about every essential policies to fight this virus.

Whether it's testing, securing or distributing essential items like masks or ventilators, or even giving out the right advice in a timely and non conflicting matter, we're sadly behind in every single strategy.

Even though all the facts were already there from the start, even though we have all the technology and funds available, and even though we have countries playing out the whole infection progress in front of us to teach us what to do and what not to do.

We can’t turn the economy back on right now, because we didn’t FLATTEN THE CURVE!

You can take your own educated guess as to why we didn’t flatten the curve.

I’m not gonna argue and convince you what the mortality rate should be. You believe what you want.

But you are wrong if you think this thing will end at 2% death rate if we continue to fail at flattening the curve.

We already dropped the ball when it was early and we had a shot at preventing it from spreading.

Now we suffer the consequences.

^That's one of the pitfalls of having States' rights. Slows a unified response. You have to take the good with the bad. Same thing with capitalized health care. On time delivery and other cost efficiency measures lead to on-hand shortages during periods of extreme demand.

If you are unhappy with the response, exercise your vote for State Rep and the State legislature. As much as I dislike Trump the collective response is not his fault alone. Fortunately, our city mayor and county judge have been doing an excellent job and both will be getting my vote when they are up for reelection. At the Federal level I think you should start mentally preparing for 4 more years of Trump as Biden is not looking/sounding good mentally. . As usual, our choices will be "bad" and "worse.". Your opinion on which is which may vary.

The percent of mortality lags the number the number of cases. Rates of mortality will vary. Our rate can be estimated as we go through this but any accuracy will be in the data after the outbreak has past.
