#3 /\ Proper border controls on Jan 26, plus masks & tests & we'd be find now.

The problem with 'border controls' (illegals, H1B visas, etc) certainly pre-dates January of 2020.

"We'd be fine" might be an oversimplification.

#4 Agreed. "Fine"? Less worse off, maybe. And when did Pres. Trump halt flights from China and later UK? The scoundrels are PRC & WHO, CDC, sure, why not?

#5 The professor takes a contrarian view from those govmint doctors on TV. That is getting rid of a herd mentality and replacing it with a herd immunity is his recommendation. He says protecting the most vulnerable segments of our population and developing a "herd immunity" will wipe out the virus; kind of like the old concept of having measle and chickpox parties for your kids to develop an immunity. That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger?

We seem to have a built-in or conditioned reluctance to do that. One of the problems I see, is that politics has entered the picture. Another problem is the lack of good information about the disease. Moreover, there is often disinformation that is dished up for us by the media and those with an agenda counter to "what's good for the country."
