DC> Oddly enough, they're wrong about H1N1, though. A timeline

DC> Apr 15, 2009: First case of H1N1 diagnosed in the US.
DC> Apr 22, 2009: CDC activates emergency operations.
DC> May 15, 2009: Over 1,000,000 tests released
DC> Aug 31, 2009: Prototype vaccine developed

DC> So. Four and a half months from first case to an early

DC> Jan 22, 2020: "We have it totally under control. It's one
DC> person coming in from China. It's going to be just fine."
DC> Feb 02, 2020: "We pretty much shut it down coming in from China."
DC> Feb 24, 2020: "The Coronavirus is very much under control in
DC> the USA... Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"
DC> Feb 25, 2020: "CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job

DC> Feb 25, 2020: "I think that's a problem that's going to go away...
DC> They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we're
DC> very close to a vaccine."
DC> Feb 26, 2020: "The 15 (cases in the US) within a few days is
DC> going to be down to close to zero."
DC> Feb 26, 2020: "We're going very substantially down, not up."
DC> Feb 27, 2020: "One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear."
DC> Mar 04, 2020: "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of
DC> people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and
DC> even going to work -- some of them go to work, but they get better."
DC> Mar 06, 2020: "Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that
DC> needs a test gets a test." (As of Mar 15, 2020, the US had
DC> administered less than 5,000 tests, according to the CDC.)
DC> Mar 06, 2020: "I don't need to have the numbers double because
DC> of one ship that wasn't our fault."
DC> Mar 09, 2020: "This blindsided the world."
DC>
DC> Well, it blindsided the president! He's in way, way over
DC> his head. For the good of the country, he should at least
DC> admit it and find someone competent to manage the crisis.
DC>
DC> World-wide cases just topped 182,000 cases. In the US, we've
DC> topped 4,200 and are doubling roughly every three days. Since
DC> we do not have wide-scale testing, because Trump turned down
DC> tests from the WHO, we have no idea whether the social distancing
DC> measures put into place over the last week and a half are

DC> This isn't funny anymore, guys; it's time to let the adults
