I thank the president for the news conference. It is beginning to sound like the government.
Timeline seems to be of concern. I would suggest the CDC director has the clearest picture through experience, knowledge and being connected to the network of organizational medicine.
But, if I may?
Think first about the emotional and psychological adjustment everyone is experiencing today. As a result of that ADJUSTMENT there are going to be more cases. Denial is a terrible part of this.
Today, there were people being infected. Their symptoms won’t start immediately. Today, they lengthened the timeline. The timeline depends a great deal on social distancing and a strong conscience for Americans. Americans have to act quickly if they believe they are infected. The best example I can think of is Tom Hanks and gracious wife. As soon as they suspected an infection with very mild symptoms they immediately sought medical attention and were tested. That is the DUE DILIGENCE every American has to apply to themselves. No guessing, no waiting, as soon as symptoms begin go to a physician immediately.
This is doable but Americans have to accept the reality of social distancing, symptoms, immediacy in medical attention and ultimately embracing wellness and body awareness. Some Americans will fall ill through no fault of their own. The blame is irrelevant and seeking a source may not continue to be practical. I know the great American media is up to this. We can do this with minimal disease and death. We are a great people.
