      1. The federal response to coronavirus has been a hot mess but there are signs state and municipal governments are taking up some of the slack, which is good.https://twitter.com/weareyourfek/status/1236051635174064128 …

      SXSW being cancelled is a *great thing.* It means civic governments are beginning to take this seriously. Everyone should be following suit.

      2. The problem is of course there's limits to what state & municipal governments can do. Especially if the economy takes a hit, you're going to need real leadership from Washington. And lots of federal institutions.

          And you need citizens taking it seriously! And my Facebook feed tells me all of my conservative-leaning friends are brushing this off as media hype. Great job, Trump!

          isnt this the crux of the problem? that we worry so much about 'the economy' but not actual human beings' wellness/lives/situations/material conditions?

          There is also nothing like the office of the President to set the national agenda and mood.

          Missouri's christian republican governor Parson will be going the 'Don't Test, Don't Tell, Don't Count' route. Seems the state has somewhere around 17 cases. Refuses to test unless symptoms are showing. Local media doesn't seem to care.

          I suspect in the future the only way we're going anything close to real numbers is to go state by state and add them up. Sadly I suspect a number of States will be either hiding/under reporting them to appease Trump or not be equipped to get accurate numbers.
