    So what was the city or county government spending the money on? Sports arenas? Other similar frivolities?

    Smart people use common sense. Government uses mob rule of mostly dumb asses to make decisions.

    Biggest problem with government control is that it IS inflexible and not subject to competition. Government is based on force, which means mob rule. Capitalism is based on free competition and can correct its mistakes quickly and easily without the application of mob rule.

    Especially when it's now apparent the CDC's virus control protocols are incorrect. A patient who passed through quarantine has tested positive for the virus weeks later.

    Just reported on the radio this morning that we're getting some positive hits in the US now. It was really only a matter of time.

    "The Solano County patient’s test was delayed, according to UC Davis officials, because the patient did not fit into the CDC’s two criteria: a history of travel to China or close contact with a coronavirus patient.
    But the patient was eligible for testing under a third CDC criteria: For severely ill individuals, testing can be considered when exposure history is equivocal — such as uncertain travel or exposure, or no known exposure — and another etiology has not been identified."

    I find it ridiculous to impose those conditions at this stage of the epidemic, when very little is known about how the virus spreads.

    How anyone can know where he/she was exposed to it?

    Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases is the sister of former DAG Rosenstein.
