I'm talking about the fact that China's solution to everything is a joke. Like thinking they can build a major hospital in 10 days that wont have major problems.

They half ass everything. Substandard building materials. Sub standard healthcare. Lead based paints...ect. The problems they have over there with a virus like this are exaggerated compared to what it will be like here.
Sure, if the virus got out of control here it would put a major strain on our hospitals but our hospitals are able to handle the flu every year. in 2018-2019 flu season, we had 43 million people get the flu. 647,000 were hospitalized and over 61,000 died.
In 2019-2020 flu season, we've had around 40 million get the flu. Somewhere around 500,000 people hospitalized and 20,000-52,000 deaths (according to the CDC). If we can handle that many flu hospitalizations, we can handle Corona.
Why are we panicking over 1000 cases of Corona and 30 deaths? That's 0.1% of flu deaths.
PS...if the CDC's estimations of flu deaths this year is a range as wide as 20,000-52,000, can we really rely on much of anything they say? Surely they can narrow it down better than that? I don't trust very many of the numbers coming out. I sure as hell dont trust the numbers coming out of China.
