CDC Nancy Messonnier: "I'm concerned about the situation, CDC is concerned about the situation - .....Now is the time to prepare".
Took the time to listen to the CDC Warning they issued yesterday. Nancy Messonnier seemed anxious, stressed out, and panicky. Nancy talked about preparing her own family, etc. In particular, she admitted the following: Highlights (Direct Quotes): [list=1] "I'm concerned about the situation, CDC is concerned about the situation - .....Now is the time to prepare". "We have been for many weeks been saying, we hope it won't be severe..we have been planning as if it will. ...Raised our level of concern, raised our level of expectation that we will have community spread in the USA....we can have community spread in the US and have it be very severe...we don't know when it's going to happen...we're asking folks to start planning for this...it has moved quite rapidly." We are never ever going to be able to completely prepared for any inevitability...viruses can surprise us...are we completely prepared? In general we are asking the American public to work with us and prepare for the expectation that this will be bad. Better to be over prepared than under prepared. Any preparedness we do will always be helpful...I don't think preparedness will ever go to waste". She also pointed out that our lifestyles will be directly affected (in a negative way) - the way she stated this seemed to indicate the change is semi-perminant. I respect the fact that she was honest, and this is comforting to see that someone in the US government isn't a totally lying non-human scumbag like most of the Senators and Congressmen tend to be. Her warning was obvious to me - WE ARE FUCKED, PREPARE YOUR FAMILY NOW WHILE WE HAVE TIME. So thank you, Nancy - I do appreciate your warning. Good luck out there - I went shopping again (again... and again...), shelves were still fully stocked. Reminder: R0 value 4.7 - 7.0 (As high as smallpox).

我可能信了？？到现在也不知道。但是感觉Nancy很悲观的样子。美国暂时不公布数字仔细想想是有道理的：如果发生黑人暴乱怎么办？美国的政治体系也是最先考虑维稳的。参考2005年新奥尔良飓风之后美国派了军队进去。华人还需注意的一个问题就是：黑人如果被感染且得不到及时治疗且最后发生不幸，他们的愤怒最后往哪发泄？当然，这个是最坏的可能性，但是也是我们最值得注意的问题。
必须要想一下这些会发生的可能性才能做好应对措施。有可能这也是美国到现在不公布不检测的原因，根本控制不住一些群体会作出什么样的reaction。
我在reddit复制过来的。我希望是假的~
