Dear All RadStats,

I am in Costa Rica, Centralamerica. 

It is actually frustrating to explain people about epidemiological dynamics, when everybody thinks you are over reacting.

At the moment, we have 35 cases confirmed, 5 are foreigners.

But I am worry about not enough testing being performed.

Does any of you have identified information analysing different community strategies? Or data on it?

Any recomendations?

All the best,

Milena Castro, PhD

Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and cancelled ect.

I can't help but think there is something larger going on here driving this sudden outbreak right after Trump beats an impeachment. Especially the fact that it originated in China who we are in a global trade war with brought on by Trump. I am sure China doesn't want 4 more years of Trump either. I am not a conspiracy theorist but it all seems rather convenient for the nations and opponents of our current President and economy 5 months before an election. Couldn't have hit at a more perfect time.

The corona virus gave them one last hail mary to try and point fingers at Trump with the clock winding down on 2020.

Remember when Ebola was what was going to kill us all, and the media kept showing the piles of body bags that were prepared for the fallout. Then a month later it was totally forgotten. I wish people could just go about their lives until this plays out. I'll worry when there is a significant death toll like nearing a million or something. A handful of deaths out of 320 million Americans and we are in panic tearing down our society and costing our economy billions in the wake. It all just seems fishy, a little too well timed if you ask me."
