The rather interesting (and miraculous) story of why #Taiwan acted on COVID-19 so early.— Jeremy Huai-Che Chiang (@che_huai) April 15, 2020

Add this to your stack of information on the origins of the coronavirus and the timeline of the response to it.
Taiwan was effective in their response because they (apparently) properly utilized OPEN SOURCE information.
More to come.

Europe is accepting the truth.
You can't keep the economy closed as long as we have without the cure being worse than the disease.
The same will happen in the US. Despite many of those on this blog that would sacrifice everything because of fear of the virus, the reality is stark.
If we stay closed more people will die from that than will from this disease. As shocking as that is, its a fact.

For all their struggles this could be the project that's finally a win for the Ukrainians.

World Health Organization coronavirus response timeline...
Yeah.
The World Health Organization did it "right"?!
Nope.
The WHO led the world down a rabbit hole and their current leader committed a crime against humanity because he's in the pocket of the Chinese.
The main problem? They downplayed Human to Human Transmission. That alone slowed the response. That is the problem. That is the sin.

While not an elegant solution it is much better than a publicity seeking Captain jeopardizing our readiness by crying to the media.
NAVAL BASE GUAM (April 11, 2020) U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jacob Blanton, assigned to Combat Logistics Regiment 3 (CLR 3), directs movement of an AAV-P7/A1 amphibious assault vehicle during an operation to offload equipment for an Expeditionary Medical Facility (EMF) from Watson-class vehicle cargo ship USNS Dahl (T-AKR-312). The EMF will provide expanded medical capabilities in support of DoD’s COVID-19 response and will enable forces to be postured to support Guam and the region if a Defense Support of Civil Authorities mission is requested. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Nathan Carpenter/Released)Note. They're not being very subtle are they? It's obvious that Guam will be the "treatment" area for the Pacific fleet for sailors that come down with the Coronavirus. Expect no more announcements of sick crews or sailors/Marines aboard ship getting sick. At least from the Navy/Marines. If news gets out it will be via Red Cross messages being released from the families.
