It is under control in China because they shutdown the country, quarantined millions, and didn’t hand wave it and say it wasn’t as bad as the flu. If you take action, then the damage can be limited. If you play pretend with it, then it will spiral out of control. The political risk is under reacting, not overreacting.

First thing, you are comparing what an authoritarian government can do versus western democracy (I know e are a republic - but we also have adopted some democracy attributes) can do. President Trump stopped all incoming travel from China and the Democrats & press howled that he did that. Imagine the caterwauling that would have been exhibited had President Trump acted similar to Xi.

Our numbers are still way better, yet we have lost control, and China has brought theirs under control?. How do you logically square your reasoning?

“If you take action, then the damage can be limited. If you play pretend with it, then it will spiral out of control. The political risk is under reacting, not overreacting.”

Using that logic, we should “get ahead of” climate change hysteria and any other potential crisis our political enemies on the Left might choose to exploit and fear-monger.

The Trump administration is taking the REAL threat seriously and dismissing the hyperbole, and that is exactly what they should be doing.

When you accuse the Trump administration of “playing pretend” for choosing to dismiss the fake news hyperbole, you play right into their hands.

It’s panic-prone people like you that make the Left’s fear-mongering tactic possible.

It is under control in China because. . .

. . . because the Chinese government lies about everything, all the time. Forever. Who knows how many cases or deaths there are in China? The layering of lies to cover up bad news starts at the lowest level to cover butts, and is added to an multiplied all the way up to the Liar in Chief, Comrade Xi.

We should be prudent. Appropriately. Sanely. And professionally. Like Americans.

You want the U.S. gov. to lock up the American population the way the ChiCom gov. did in China?

Bloomberg is your best bet if you want that kind of country.
