I am not familiar with the author or the site but this came from a family member who is a high level academic physician.
It is the most compelling assessment I have yet seen.
We are about a week behind Italy. Public Health Authorities are dithering behind platitudes.
President Trump should lock the country down now.

It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two. When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways. Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today. That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.
As a politician, community leader or business leader, you have the power and the responsibility to prevent this.
You might have fears today: What if I overreact? Will people laugh at me? Will they be angry at me? Will I look stupid? Won’t it be better to wait for others to take steps first? Will I hurt the economy too much?
But in 2–4 weeks, when the entire world is in lockdown, when the few precious days of social distancing you will have enabled will have saved lives, people won’t criticize you anymore: They will thank you for making the right decision.
Ok, let’s do this.
It’s a great time to be at home-quilting, doing a refi deal....
404 cant find page.
Nice try.
Ah, me too.
Oh and BTW, my computer virus scan also alerted when I clicked on it.
Impeachment failed. Let’s create a panic and crater the economy.
“Dr. Peter Venkman : This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor : What do you mean, “biblical”?
Dr. Raymond Stantz : What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman : Exactly.
Dr. Raymond Stantz : Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler : Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore : The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman : Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”

Dr. John Campbell's daily videos on YouTube are good too I think. You can make fun all you want of level of panic. I have no panic, but I'm prepared for the reasonable continuum of likely outcomes, and the likely outcomes are pretty serious if you just project out the numbers as they've occurred in other countries and based on how and when those countries got their shiite together.
“There’s gonna be gold riots, atonal music... political chaos, mass suicide. Right? It’s Germany before Hitler. You can see that. Jesus, I don’t know what people are gonna do... when a six-pack of Budweisers costs $1,200. That’ll be awful.”
I think I would rather just sit back and watch puds like you panic as your body is overwhelmed by cold-like symptoms.
Yeah. Trump and his team have got this, ok?
They’re ahead of you buddy. Have a Corona and chill.
Its true but creat chaos its the worst way.
