COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

Ward, i realize you’re trying to do a job here, as moderator.. But c’mon, we’re waaaayy beyond the point of ‘political’ vs ‘non-political’... That ship sailed with this administration ignoring the threat, then trying to downplay the threat, then reacting too late- and even still, worrying more about himself, er, themselves aNd the upcoming election, instead of how to get ahead of this virus (to the extent that’s even possible.)

The moderators here do a great job, but enough with trying to police politics in a time when there is only facts vs lies, and not much else matters.

Understood, but there is a political site to address that. There's no doubt a political component that's unavoidable to a point, but this thread is meant more as an exchange of information and understanding of the virus and associated epidemic. I'd like to keep the PSA thrust of the thread.

There's room for debating policy. But that should be more of a function of good practices based on observed science and leave the political stuff for the other site.
