I thought here in the west that it was well-established that temperature checks and mask do not work against the corona?!

Unfortunately, it’s becoming more clear that the government-science bodies like the CDC and the WHO have been spreading inaccurate information.

What's clear is that the entire system has degenerated as the competence of the average person has been eroded over the last few decades.

Failures across the board. Federal government, state government, local government, hospitals, insurance companies - no one in positions of authority saw this coming in January? No one with clout or power had the foresight to stockpile masks or other PPE, just in case?

Why isn't a national emergency stockpile being maintained when we've seen a dozen potential global pandemics in the last decade alone?

Apparently even officials aren't immune to senseless groupthink.

I can't believe the U.S. Navy didn't implement a ban on shore leave, or allowing anyone new onto their ships, 6-8 weeks ago. Incredible incompetence.
