Hi maka, yeah but even though Trump isn't the only one sleeping at the wheel his constant dribble does get annoying especially, as you already know, when it comes to the markets every time the US sneezes we all catch a cold. Comparing the swine flu to Covid-19 there are not many similarities. One has about 100 years of research backing while there's still much to learn about the other. Preliminary evidence indicates that this new coronavirus has a mortality rate 50x higher than H1H1 and spreads about 10x faster, hence the importance of slowing transmission and containing the threat. The alternative option, which is probably where we're at now will require an equally sustained effort to reduce the cost of life and heavy burden it will place on our health care until an effective vaccine is developed within the next 2 years (hopefully)
The following provides a somewhat more light-hearted but reasonably accurate view of where we currently stand
