Excuse my bitterness, but I preferred it when WHO declarations came before the crisis was so completely out of hand that they barely matter anymore.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1237780130602323968 …

So terrible. China could have contained ALL OF IT back in December when Wuhan doctors were desparately trying to warn of the tiny, local outbreak. Chinese authorities sent the police to shut them up and unleashed the pandemic. Rest of the world could have gotten ready. Alas.

Wonder if "what about the flu" crowd even understands that the places with better precautions will also have much less flu spread (hygiene/social distancing/masks) *plus* what flu they get, they can treat better because their hospitals won't be overrun with COVID-10 patients.

SARS permanently damaged lungs of survivors so that's another concern. I hope this turns out to be seasonal and there's sustained immunity after exposure—and if and when anti-virals and vaccines are figured out, we don't also screw up scaling up production and distribution. Sigh.

I'm going to end here: we didn't learn from SARS, so here we are. We should learn from this. That means: do not absolve the Chinese government, they unleashed this pandemic through a cover-up—just like SARS. Do not absolve our governments. Do not absolve institutions that failed.

Love your contributions but this is not about predictions but about management. The declaration has consequences. Now assume everyone is corona-virus positive and live that way. Soap. Lots of it.

And when we meet, I will assume you are positive. That's what that announcement means.

Same with Macao. They really stepped up, closed borders, casinos, schools. Now slowly reopening.
