I bet somewhere around April 28th we will see a press conference and the vice president holding up a sign that says “30 more days to kill the virus” or something like that.
I agree. So now that we know this let's all just take a breath, sit back and wait it out.

It may already be out of hand but we just haven't heard about it. The largest population of Chinese expats reside in Africa. They are on the verge of owning the economy of 90% of that continent.

This is a problem that was exacerbated by poor decision making and preparedness on the part of government and short-sighted business leaders who had their ears, and dumped in the laps of providers who are now being asked to risk their health and the health of their loved ones.
One of the best posts of all time.
