It's hard enough to get people to do what they are told "now"
It would have been impossible to get people to 'self isolate' / quarintine any eariler.
The only thing we might have been able to do eariler is - ground Planes - and ignore howls of protest.....

Earlier, more decisive action would possibly have prevented us ever having it.
Maybe. Easy to be wise after the fact. I'm still damned glad this isn't America.
Yup, thank fark we don't have Trumpy as our leader.

With the spread of infections and deaths in the USA, and ramped up emergency measures around the country, is there any indication at all that Fox News viewers are starting to get uneasy and are beginning to look at other news sources for more accurate information?
Doubt it.
1 - way too good an entertainment source for a lot of people
2 - to all the rednecks it's their sesame street channel for so called eduction
3 - 'Accurate Information' - depends on the value of the dollar, stock market, Trumps ratings
4 - Trump might cry - no sorry my mistake he wont
5 - State governors might become Democrats - a few Republican Governors are becoming anti-White House though
6 - Lachlan Murdock might get a spine and fire more than just one news reader (Trish Regan was fired when she said "in early March 2020 for dismissing the coronavirus outbreak as a Democratic "impeachment scam" against President Donald Trump." and ask for some real journalism as opposed to a mouth piece for the White House
7 - Trumps ratings = Fox ratings = Murdock dollars
Adding a new one and in all seriousness.
8 - Trump might think on a predecessor of his:
"and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
The Gettysburg Address given by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln
This could easierly apply to all of this planets governments
Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Unfortunately The Gettysburg Address is above Donald Trump's reading age - I doubt that he has ever read it, or ever will. 😕

Fox execs might be getting a little uneasy; they fired Trish Regan just recently for saying outrageous things about the virus

I get tired of those that decide the decisions in January, based on the facts in April

Well, strictly Covid-19 is the disease you get from being infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus so that headline is incorrect because they're talking about a vaccine, and not a cure for a person with the disease.
They have found what they think is a highly conserved region of the virus that they must think it also very immunogenic, and presumably common to all the strains currently circulating. They're looking for funding to produce this protein/vaccine.
They could of course release the sequence they found and see if others agree, and are willing to manufacture it for testing overseas ... phase 1,2 and 3 trials.

This article is alarmist, the disease can't be transmitted via sweat. If runners keep 2 meters their is no problem.

From what Ive seen on Sky News AU, AUS has an excellent base of scientists. Thats all I know.

Medical workers transferred the bodies of people who had died after contracting the virus to a temporary morgue in Brooklyn on Monday.

THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE VISIBLE ON THIS PICTURE TO BE AWARE OF!
The guy wearing protection stuff has direct contact with his phone and contamines himself! NEVER USE YOUR PHONE LIKE THIS - AGAIN NEVER!
Be aware that your smart phone can show up to 3 times more contamination stuff than a toilet lid (most is harmless but you don't know in these days).
- NET: FTTH, OPNsense, 10G backbone, GWN APs, ipPBX
- SRV: 12 RU HA server cluster, 0.1 PB storage on premise
- IoT: thread, zigbee, tasmota, BidCoS, LoRa, WX suite, IR
- 3D: two 3D printers, 3D scanner, CNC router, laser cutter
I claim no medical expertise but anyone getting excited too early about vaccines will do well to remember this fact: lots of seemingly promising candidates fall over like a deck of cards once human trials occur. Efficacy is important but so is safety.
More depressing news: According to RNZ, the trolls have found a new source of amusement by mocking the sign language translators on the daily briefings. I really wish it was possible to remove their hearing for a few months and see how they get on. What a load of miserable losers!
