Why aren’t people calling out WHO and their colossal failure standing by China?
Because the real danger is stigmatizing people!!!

Wouldn't they have been better off shutting it all down on March 9th as opposed to waiting that extra week and a half?
No. The experts say that social distancing doesn’t radically change the number of people infected over the course of the pandemic. It changes the time in which they are infected. So if hospital resources aren’t completely overwhelmed, there’s not a better course of action.
We want to be in control of a virus. And we’re not.

Which we have a vaccine for?
Too bad the vaccine “wasn’t every effective” the past few years. We have one tho.

Unless of course weather has a big impact and that delay enters a time where the weather fills the spread even more.
But since they don’t know for sure the summer will largely kill it so they don’t input the data in the model.

I don't think we are in disagreement. I'm saying that areas that shut it all down earlier rather than later are more able to experience big waves of infected people who need hospitalization. If we could go back in time, surely Mardi Gras would have been canceled, NYC would have closed the schools, Florida would have canceled spring break et.c

Because they are a bunch of corrupt frickers that are in bed with China

Actually that number has already been cut back to ~60k from that prelim estimate, and is still being worked on.
But that doesn’t contradict what I said. I didn’t define flu by the worst case of it in the past 40-50 years. I gave numbers of the average year.
Which is a fraction of the value you are trying to act like flu is always at.
Oh, and in case you were wondering...the year that broke the streak of seasonal flus? It was the last major flu pandemic.
Doesn’t matter if 80k is average or not. It still happened and we didn’t freak out because of it.
