Not true. This wasn't going to be stopped or slowed regardless. Its got to run its course while we wait on a vaccine.

You left out the part where he had testicular cancer. First line chemo for a lot of testicular cancers is Bleomycin. The notorious side effect of Bleomycin is pulmonary fibrosis.
ETA: so to be clear, there's a significant chance he had severe underlying respiratory complications from chemo (which the article hinted at). Not merely a history of asthma and bronchitis.
A very close friend of mine was just diagnosed with the virus. He is extremely ill. I was with him for a day a week ago...it's getting real.
Lol, it's not about "stopping it", genius...obviously it was never going to be stopped in its tracks...it's about being competent enough to at least see the warning signs, take advice of physicians and medical scientists for preparedness/basic infrastructure, and not send mixed-messages downplaying its significance to the country's populace, which we are still seeing the effects of (e.g., spring break).
Liquidating the WH NSC pandemic response team didn't help, either....but I digress.
South Korea and the US had their 1st case on the same day. South Korea did have it contained until one bad apple spoiled the bunch. Even then, they've had 152 new cases in the past 24 hours. We've had 4000+ in that same time frame. They've had more people recovered than infected in the past 24 hours. They flattened their curve. Ours is now spiking as we are able to test more and get closer to accurately depicting our amount. Believe me, there is still way more than 13k cases out there.
Hell yes it could have been slowed down. That is exactly what we are trying to do now. We are trying to do now what we should have been doing in at least mid January. The incompetence demonstrated by our leadership that allowed us to get so far behind was a dereliction of duty.
Are some of you getting your information through Qanon? Asking for a friend.
It?s amazing the amount of experts on here that can?t prove jack nor have any facts to back up their irrational emotional non logical ramblings.
