<6dc46509> the problem is that considering how globalized the world is, not sharing information, and consequently not having any intel on new viruses coming out of china, would also put america at a disadvantage. we had very early intel on how bad this virus was since late december. it wasn’t the lack of information, but the assumption that it wouldn’t cross oceans and spread to america. i think we only really started taking it seriously when we saw what was happening in italy.
<6dc46509> and also… we were kinda caught up in our own political BS… trump’s impeachment… and kobe’s death… we were preoccupied with so many other distractions…
