"You cant catch it here", "You cant catch it there", ".....wont do this". ".....wont do that", etc......and yet, that one doctor that has worked with the disease and patients for the last 65 years, simply says, "A lot of claims and statements are being made, and these "experts" just do NOT know these answers". And now, in Spain, they have a nurses aide that has caught it, cant really explain how she could have gotten it if everything that has been said about the virus, is true. And now, they have even put her dog down just to make sure that poor soul is not infected and spreading the virus from dog to human contact. I am stunned and amazed that the "experts" in THIS country keep assuring us they have everything under control and dont worry, the virus "has never, will never, not expected to,...." behave in any frightening manner......and yet, in the next breath, it is pointed out, "Well NO, we dont actually have any more medicine/vaccine to give these sick people, and there wont be any more until next year at the earliest.....but dont worry, nothing to fear." How can they possibly say we are prepared to fight this disease when we have nothing to fight it with.....we are treating symptomatically, and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it, hoping something works. They should be honest with that information.....this is all a guessing game and we really need to be kept accurately informed of the progress and changes that have NOT been made, addressing this virus.
Totally agree. I am not in a panic and don't think anyone should be; but all this business of downplaying the seriousness of this virus is concerning to me.
