Не могу не согласиться
с Нейтом Сильвером:
Вот твит губернатора (!) Оклахомы. Вот это да, заслуживает порицания.
Или вот Трамп в среду -- "Явные признаки деменции" -- объявил о закрытии сообщения с Европой, не сумев сформулировать, кого эти ограничения касаются. В результате, в американских аэропортах творится черт знает что, что плохо и само по себе, но в условиях эпидемии так уж совсем.
I've written and deleted a version of this tweet like 12 times, but I think overall people should direct more of their ire at governmental officials and less at random dumb individuals.Сейчас на первом месте среди worldwide (!) trends на Твиттере стоит клеймление какой-то никому не известной девушки, написавшей:
I just went to a crowded Red Robin and I'm 30.Who cares?!
It was delicious, and I took my sweet time eating my meal. Because this is America. And I'll do what I want.

This is the scene at O’Hare airport. The traveler who took the photo said it’s a 6-hour wait for bags then on to customs for 2-4 more of waiting in shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Police are handing out water and disinfectant wipes. @fly2ohare #ord #coronavirus #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/UTx9E0nj1s

AOC обращалась к жителям Нью-Йорка “To everyone in NYC”, но девушка из Невады не могла не высказаться.
В школьном округе, которым она рвётся руководить, школы пока не закрыли.
Хотя к этому призывают профсоюзы.
On the same day the district reminded parents that classes are expected to begin as normal Monday morning, the National Education Association of Southern Nevada wrote to CCSD Superintendent Jesus Jara, asking that classes be halted as organizations and governments close or slow business in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
“Besides the potential spread among otherwise healthy individuals of COVID-19,” the union wrote in the letter Saturday, “you have hundreds (or possibly thousands) of immune comprised students and educators who will be even higher risk by schools remaining open.”

Всего по стране под карантин попали около половины школ.
As of March 14, 2020, 6:30 p.m. ET, at least 57,000 schools are closed, are scheduled to close, or were closed and later reopened, affecting at least 25.8 million students. Schools are closing for many reasons related to coronavirus, including exposures, cleaning, or planning for extended closures.
There are 132,853 public and private schools in the U.S. and almost 50.8 million public school students and 5.8 million private school students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Nobody cares about that. Я не знаю даже, кто входит в Board of Trustees в округе, в котором я сам живу.
Люди любят to pile on. Это не всегда неоправданно, когда объектом является, действительно, видный деятель, чьи слова имеют большой вес, как президент или губернатор. Но всегда неоправданно, когда объект -- случайный человек в Интернете.

Да, это был один из почти шестнадцати тысяч (!) ответов AOC. Сравни это по важности с твитом губернатора Оклахомы, который я привел. И он не получил такого внимания.

OKLAHOMA CITY —
Gov. Kevin Stitt on Sunday declared a state of emergency for Oklahoma as the state's number of confirmed COVID-19 coronavirus cases continues to grow.
According to the state of emergency declaration, an eighth case of the COVID-19 coronavirus was confirmed in Oklahoma. The news comes hours after the Oklahoma State Department of Health announced that the total had increased from four to seven, with new cases being confirmed in Cleveland County, Tulsa County and Payne County

Hillary Clinton (D): A 2015 study found that spending on public health had fallen more than nine percent since 2008. And uncertain long-term budgets leave our public health agencies dependent on emergency appropriations—meaning that when Congress fails to step up, communities are left without the resources they need, vaccines languish in development, and more people get sick.
That is why as President, I will create a Public Health Rapid Response Fund, with consistent, year-to-year budgets, to better enable the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, state and local public health departments, hospital systems, and other federal agencies to quickly and aggressively respond to major public health crises and pandemics. I will also ensure that our government has strong leadership and is organized to better support and work with people on the ground facing public health challenges. <...>
When dealing with the outbreak of diseases, we must be sure to act with caution, and rely on science to inform our decisions around trade, travel, and treatment. We are privileged to live in a country that individuals around the world aspire to visit and even immigrate to. It is within our national interest to think beyond our borders, and through our leadership, do everything we can to foster peace, health, and security around the world. In the United States, we need to break the cycle in which our own public health system is beholden to emergency appropriations for specific epidemics. We can do this by creating a dedicated Rapid Response Fund to help shore up our defenses, accelerate development of vaccines and new treatments, and respond more effectively to crises. We will also create a comprehensive global health strategy that moves beyond the disease-by-disease emergency model and seeks to build a robust, resilient global health system capable of quickly responding to and ending pandemics.
Donald Trump (R): The implication of the question is that one must provide more resources to research and public health enterprises to make sure we stay ahead of potential health risks. In a time of limited resources, one must ensure that the nation is getting the greatest bang for the buck. We cannot simply throw money at these institutions and assume that the nation will be well served. What we ought to focus on is assessing where we need to be as a nation and then applying resources to those areas where we need the most work. Our efforts to support research and public health initiatives will have to be balanced with other demands for scarce resources. Working with Congress—the people’s representatives—my administration will work to establish national priorities and then we will work to make sure that adequate resources are assigned to achieve our goals.
