Here is my contrarian take: we know a lot more about this virus and the fall out in just one week. On March 7 I was in Aruba and not particularly concerned. My statements from that week are also in stark contrast to what I’m saying now. Nobody could have envisioned this. https://t.co/5VRm5zH4DF

Fucking wrong. I observed what was happening in China and thus knew what was going to happen here. Like there, but worse. That’s why we had a bunch of supplies about when the first few cases were being reported here.

Not everyone is a damn fool.
