| I think one of the biggest dilemma that hasn’t gotten a hard look is the issues the CDC created with the faulty test kits the first sent out, the delays their strict rules surrounding only their lab(s) could do the test on samples, those test then had to be certified by the central CDC lab in Atlanta, and the bottleneck that their rules created in diagnosing early cases in Seattle and CA. Things appear to have turned around since Trump got the private sector involved. For example, we tested over 34,000 people in the USA since yesterday at 4:00 (cut off time for data to be reported). Amazing turnaround in testing once the government got out of the way. Texas tested more people today (2922), than they did prior to today (2355). In the last 2 days it looks like the USA has tested 62104 people. |

Quote:Originally Posted by poka This is very true! I dated a Chinese woman for almost 4 years, who was born and raised in the Laoning province in NE China. She was a beautician and dermatologist. When we met, she knew less than 10 English words, so I educated her during our time together. Our communication was a portable Chinese/English translator tablet she carried... Inconvenient but a lot of fun ... and some mis-confabulations along the way. Her favorite author was Mark Twain... she told the same jokes that we do, I was introduced to quite a few friends of hers, and keep in mind, these people didn't grow up here in America, they were hardcore North Mandarin Chinese. And many people in the North still refer to their capital as Peking. I found the ones I came to know as not being any different than we are. Just a different written and spoken language. @poka is right, we need to separate the people from the government. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater I wish I could find the interview. Local station WFLA in Tampa interviewed the first diagnosed FL person with coronavirus. I think the interview was Tuesday or Wednesday (I cannot find it on their bloody site) She was in Italy, partying. She started feeling sick on the way home. Was coughing up green mucus, had a fever, felt like shit. When she got to NY she contacted CDC and they told her go ahead and get on the plane and fly back to FL despite her saying she didn't think she should. Landed at Tampa International airport. I can guarantee, as she was actively symptomatic, people on that plane were infected, but the diagnosed cases barely trickled in immediately following the first case. I believe we are still short on tests for corona, with Tuesday or Wednesday getting 500 tests to the state of 21.3 million. 12,000 new cases in the US, as a whole, since yesterday morning; I think the deaths have nearly doubled. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Towmater Hahaha ... sure, that's it. It has nothing to do with the fact that Trump and Fox News stopped referring to the pandemic as a "hoax." Or that they stopped telling people, it'll all be over within a matter of weeks. It's no worse than the flu, right? Just a Democratic conspiracy to make Trump look bad? Remember the Ebola outbreak? Obama didn't just sit around and wait; he attacked it. He activated the CDC at the first sign, and they went over to West Africa and trained nearly 25,000 local medical personnel on how to prevent and treat infectious diseases. They set up procedures to coordinate a response, including surveillance, tracing, testing, education, logistics, and communication. Back here at home, thanks to Obama's leadership, we trained an additional 6500 people on top of the regular CDC staff, and they ran practice drills and mock outbreak scenarios, BEFORE we had a single case. THREE MONTHS after Obama activated our response, we got our first case, the "index" case, in the US. It spread to two nurses, who both recovered, and it was stopped. Fox News and Donald Trump and the Republicans complained the whole time. And they had the freedom to complain, because it was such a roaring success that no one over here died from Ebola, except for the index case, a doctor who contracted it in Africa while treating the sick. There was no national emergency and no stock market cratering and no disastrous unemployment. It was such a huge success, no one had to face the consequences of incompetence. When Donald Trump talked about our first index case of Covid-19, he hadn't done a damn thing. He'd already disbanded the response office and let go hundreds (he said "thousands" ) of all the trained personnel we had to specifically handle pandemics. No advance team, no planning, no concern at all. And he said coronavirus? Forget about it, it's no big deal, just a liberal hoax. It'll all be over soon. We've got it completely under control. And he continued to not do a damn thing until, finally, someone sat him down and made him listen, less than a week ago, and he changed his tune. This pandemic is terrible. Just awful. And it will be much worse than it ever had to be because of our pitiful government response at the highest levels. And you shouldn't forget - none of us should forget: that's what you get when you hire an inexperienced, reactive, self-absorbed, and incompetent businessman for the most important job in the world. Here's a refresher for you: January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.” February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.” February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.” February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.” February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.” February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.” February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.” March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?” March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.” March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.” March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.” March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!” March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.” March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.” March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.” March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.” March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine-tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.” March 9: “This blindsided the world.” March 13th: National Emergency |
