      This chart is chilling. We don't look like Singapore. We look like Italy. And tit may be worse even than it looks: Italy is doing more testing than we are, so they may have a more accurate case count.https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/3/13/21178289/confirmed-coronavirus-cases-us-countries-italy-iran-singapore-hong-kong …

      I think you guys should look into how pieces like this one you published is part of why we’re here. We all should’ve been raising alarms especially as the government was failing and most media didn’t until too late. cc:@karaswisher https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1227925426397483008 …pic.twitter.com/c3XwOl3OR4

      It’s not just you, but so many pieces were published in February dismissing the worries, framed as that’s why are these people panicking. The countries that reacted properly and early on with alarm, like Hong Kong Taiwan and Singapore, have things mostly under control.

          It’s not just because they have governments on board. Hong Kong government has been an obstacle, but still HK people understood the risk and reacted. In contrast, I spent February seeing pieces like the one above instead of what we desperately needed. We should learn from this.

          I’m going to be surprised if we don’t flatten out some just based on being a less dense (and younger) country, dont you think?

          So if we had prepared, what data can we gather/show that demonstrates the validity and impact of those actions?

          The media and left were accusing Trump of over reacting a few weeks back.
