While many of your posts are overly alarmist, this one is entirely correct. We're acting like idiots handling people with a new virus that has no vaccine, or known effective treatment yet.
Safe to say America is fucked from #coronavirus

THIS IS WHAT WE DO IN THE USA:

HERE'S WHAT THEY DO IN OTHER COUNTRIES:
NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?
This is why the author of that tweet said we are all screwed.....cuz we are. The USA has been dumbed down by Trump & Co about deadliness of COVID19.....now most of those Health Care Workers are infected with COVID19, and several are in hospitals.

Yes, the exact same thing as last Saturday when they carted away a patient. The police officer got real close to patient and had ZERO protection. The EMT had flimsy lose paper masks on, no goggles and some extremely loose fitting paper gown over their clothes, that was open up and down the back.
Very scary.
Already a bunch of firemen have been locked down in quarantine for a measly 14 days. Quarantines should be for AT LEAST 21 days, and ideally 24 -42 days. Letting people out of quarantine early completely defeats the purpose of quarantines. We've got real idiots in charge.
At this rate, the U.S. will have ALL of its First Responders and Health Care Workers Occupying all the Hospitals before the end of March.
Consequently no room for anyone else.
Spewing out disinformation, not deploying functional #coronavirus testing kits, not distributing protective gear, and not training government and healthcare personnel hardly qualify as “decisive action.”

And doing so at least 60 days after we knew about this is not taking immediate action.

I have to agree. I would add: leaving schools, theaters, etc open, leaving airports open, trains open, buses open.....these are all the BEST POSSIBLE WAYS TO SPREAD THIS BIOWEAPON AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
Still flying to Infected cities and countries. No brains. Its as if someone WANTS this to spread as fast as possible.
Repost from Saturday:

Just saw a patient transported from the site of possible #CoronaVirus outbreak in Washington. Their medical issue/condition unclear. A number of residents here have respiratory issues, including pneumonia. CDC investigating. More than 40 staff/residents being tested for #Covid19

No eye protection. No suits. China at least provided the world a basic roadmap for prevention and protection in healthcare settings. Americans should at least practice similar protocol to limit the spread of #COVID19
The first responders in this video are lacking appropriate protective gear for dealing with airborne infectious disease like #COVID19.
If this patient is infected, they have now been exposed.
As will be whomever they respond to after this and/or in this vehicle.
Hold on, why is that police officer??? (guy in the dark suit) not wearing any protective gear on him??? OMG he's just there watching. Why aren't the other doctors, wearing goggles and those suits the doctors wear in China, for example? IMHO, they need more protection
In contrast, this is how they proceed in Spain:
