    Most tragic for New York City—Wuhan *and* Italy had happened as devastating examples and yet those weeks were wasted. 😢https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1250257580984864768 …

    "An estimated 90 percent of the cumulative deaths in the U.S. from Covid-19," write @brittajewell and @NP_Jewell, "might have been prevented by putting social distancing policies into effect two weeks earlier" https://nyti.ms/3aadRfg

        The myth of American exceptionalism afflicted even those in the medical profession... but our government certainly did nothing to help them get prepared.

        Allowing the St. Patrick’s Day bar rush felt to me like the moment the car went off the cliff.

        Yep. This is why Newsom's performance is light years ahead of Cuomo's. He locked down the state when the scientists told him to. Cuomo waited till it was politically palatable. 600 deaths vs 10,000.
