“We have it totally under control."

“It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

Donald Trump*, Jan. 22, 2020, on Coronavirus

Jan. = same time S. Korea took quick action:

U.S. has 327 million people:
As of March 11, CDC, state and public health labs have conducted more than 11,000 tests since mid-January.

S. Korea, 51 million people:
has tested more than 200,000 of its population since January.

We shortly will reach the point in the movie where the malignant President (played by Donald Sutherland) is fretfully watching tv scenes of overrun hospitals and looted grocery stores ... and his dry raspy cough leads him to realize that HE has been infected with the killer virus.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
