While republicans embrace the killing of thousands every day in a vain attempt to spur the economy the facts are this is not going to work.
This is Jim Yong Kim, past President of the World Bank. He was instrumental in fighting the financial battles during the SARS, MERS, HIV/AIDES and Ebola pandemics.
Why the World Bank ex-chief is on a mission to end coronavirus transmission
quote:
No one in the field of infectious disease or public health can say they are surprised about a pandemic. But what I just couldn’t believe was that after the first cases of community transmission, in Washington state, folks were saying it’s too late for containment. What surprised me is just how quickly we gave up on the standard shoe-leather-epidemiology approach to fighting epidemics that has been in place for hundreds of years.
...
I spent seven years at the World Bank. So, I’m a finance guy. I can tell you it makes absolutely no sense to keep putting trillions of dollars into a stimulus package and not put hundreds of billions into the one thing that will stop the financial crisis. The thing that will stop the financial crisis is getting the virus under control.
By "getting the virus under control" Dr. Kim is talking about testing, tracing and isolating.
But even though this would be the best, fastest route to economic recovery, it is not fast enough for the blood lusting capitalist oligarchs in the Republican party. They would rather sacrifice thousands of Americans per day now than see any negative impact to their quarterly reports.
Meanwhile, the Orange Bastard continues to push poison and deadly "cures" like irradiating your body with powerful UV rays and drinking and injecting surface disinfectants.
The man is an absolute ass.
