This is why viruses need to be stopped before they spread in the USA. Viruses have incredible abilities to damage the human body. They are RNA. Some do cause damage, some don't. The common cold doesn't cause disability, but, when new viruses manifest with deadly components, the virus CANNOT be allowed into the borders of all 50 states of the USA.
There can be no attempts to save tax dollars in regard to these viruses. There have to be American scientists in China and within the virus production areas of Africa. I think Zeka was out of South America. At the very least it came to the USA from South America. There is a strong reason to belong to the WHO and bring about a better world that actually prevents poverty and opportunity for such viruses to manifest.
I might add American scientists were already pulled out of China when the WHO trusted China too far. If the USA was there the intelligence would already be in the USA and easily have had actions to prevent entry to the USA no matter what the rest of the world did.

In the fall of 2009, (click here) one of us, Beth, was hit by an illness she suspects was H1N1 flu, which was circulating then. In 2012, the other, Brian, developed a sudden fever, which his doctors said was also likely of viral origin.
Neither of us recovered, and we’re both disabled to this day.
The long-term illnesses that can follow viral infections can be devastating — and are devastatingly common. In 2015, the nation’s top medical advisory body, the Institute of Medicine, estimated that between 800,000 and 2.5 million U.S. residents live with the illness or illnesses awkwardly named myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). An estimated three-quarters of these cases were triggered by viral or bacterial infections.
Now, as a new pandemic virus is burning through the world and causing many deaths, researchers are raising alarms that the novel coronavirus and the covid-19 disease it causes will also leave in its wake a potentially large population with post-viral problems that could be lifelong and, in some cases, disabling....
The survivors and those that test positive but are asymptomatic have the potential for long term damage to their bodies and ultimately handicaps.
PLEASE WEAR THE MASKS ANYTIME WHEN OUTSIDE THE HOME. PLEASE. A STRATEGY FOR SCHOOLS NEEDS TO BE FORMULATED AND HELD TO THROUGH THE FOLLOWING YEARS.
ULTIMATELY, N95 MASKS MUST BE FOR SALE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I don't care if they are fashionable so much as them being N95 masks. That means there is an opportunity for domestic manufacturing to produce quantities of masks for the public.
We must stop the virus otherwise the USA is going to have increased and increasing handicapped people. This is something that is ongoing and Congress must have universities carry a continuing study by staff anthropologists working with grad students to MONITOR the fallout from this virus. The people who study this must be careful when in among the communities they study. This study is paramount to understanding the degree in which SARS-CoV-2 has invaded this country causing long term handicap outcomes.
THE VACCINATION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER to end this virus. It must be ended.
