I"m in AsiaPac, and a lot closer to the front lines of it than most of you. Believe me, i was aware of what was happening in Jan, and the supply chain shortages, and treated the virus very seriously. I sourced N99 filter protection, at pretty high cost, because I had already learned N95 was a joke.
However…. by diligent research, logic, and math, had concluded IN EARLY MARCH that the virus was nothing to worry about.
Now if I could do it, so could other people. That is why I say 90% of this is psy-op. Running around in a panic may have been acceptable in Jan / Feb. But not now.
