Instead of giving us reasons why we are where we are, we need to be proactive and ask the harder questions.

How to improve our responses next time something similar happens.

And please stop excusing his inexcusable behavior.

He cocked up the response. Plain and simple.

To say he's the trigger man may be harsh, but he fits that bystander who could have done something to stop it.

I think the key to controlling a virus like COVID-19 is no different that it was for the Spanish flu. While not formalized there was natural social distancing, avoidance of crowds, wearing of masks and good hygiene. The key that has yet to be practiced is expect the worst and respond accordingly and sooner than anyone thinks is necessary. Overreact rather than underreact. Make it priority one by a long shot to save lives. Believe in the science and the experts with a long history of experience dealing with infectious diseases. And 80 plus percent of us do the right thing to protect ourselves and others from the disease.

My fear now for this country is that Covid is not the last species jumping virus we're ever going to see.

I fear that the next new infectious disease is just around the corner. Since the underlying conditions are still present, and the cesspools that foster these mutating agent of disaster is only going to increase, not decrease.

Maybe we'll be better prepared next time around. Maybe we'll learn our lessons and come out stronger the next time around.

But it's not gonna happen if we have another president like this one next time.

Yes, there will be another killing virus. The timespan between instances is decreasing. Sars virus was in 2003. Ebola was 2013 and now covid-19 in 2019.
