I'm sorry, but were you seriously expecting that from our government?
It had stopped doing that a while back.

More will get sick for sure. Unfortunately more are definitely going to die. Suggesting that our government did not do what it should when faced with a threat that was completely unknown, misunderstood, and the information from different parts of the world was conflicting, is just politics on your part and not an accurate description of what the options were. Also, hindsight is 20/20 so pointing out things that *could* have been done a month ago using today's information is not making an honest point.
