Meanwhile, The Great Orange One...
I don't even, any more .........
The guy isn't a scientist. This isn't a simple subject. I don't like him either but he's getting entire too much flak for speaking his mind. With another leader they'd keep quiet and be advised where you don't see it, that's all.

This is just Trump making things about himself again, which we should all be used to by now.
Though as usual, Trump putting his two cents in has turned this into a liberal vs. conservative fight. So now we have one group of people clutching their pearls, saying "THIS IS SERIOUS", while another group is running around filming themselves licking doorknobs at old folk's homes cuz it triggers people.
WELCOME TO AMERICA!

Well, it is serious. Not to the level where people should panic, but definitely to the level where everyone should take it seriously.

However, in reality:
'Scientists have had to explain to Trump a number of times that a vaccine against coronavirus can’t be developed for public use in a matter of a few months, as he has claimed. On that note: German scientists have found that the existing drug Camostat Mesilate blocks coronavirus from entering into the lung cells.

It's not
that he speaks his mind, but the contents (and lack of contents) thereof.

I'm not very familiar with the American cultural heritage.
But I think the left one is Larry.
The middle one must be Moe. And the right one then must be Curly.
Am I correct ?

Spot on.
Out of morbid curiosity, I've been checking out what's happening in major countries that aren't having an outbreak.
So far, only a small handful of travel related cases in Russia. I guess Russians don't get around much? Likewise, only a couple of cases in Indonesia, even though there's a lot of regional travel in and out? I dunno, but maybe detection there is a bit lagging.
The real surprise to me was India. With the volume of travel into and out of India from all over, and the population density, it's strange that the case load there is small. I'm hoping it's a sign that the virus is less contagious in a warmer climate, but that wouldn't explain why there's more cases in Malaysia and Singapore. Otherwise, an outbreak there could be big.
