Ours is just now getting around to taking some measures – measures which should have been done in January. Too late now. Imagine these people running the fire department: after the town burns down they’ll start thinking about getting up a committee to look into possibly installing smoke detectors. Oh wait, I don’t have to imagine it; the same fools mishandle our wild fires every year. Fires largely made possible by their mishandling the forests for decades beforehand.
It’s too late to stop the spread with closures now. We need to concentrate on protecting the vulnerable segments of society and stop taking actions that murder the economy and send us headlong into a depression.
Neither your fool nor ours will be able to handle that either, as they both have the business acumen of a dead snail.
