I thought the CDC didn’t have enough tests because they didn’t want to use the WHO and instead came up with their own which had a defect?



That is part of it, yes. Why they didn't want to use the WHO test or a test from China or other impacted nation, none of us know. Then they frick up the roll out of our own tests. And they frick up and realize the labs can't process tests quickly enough.

To this date, only 6000 people in the US have been tested, total. It's a fricking embarrassment and is going to lead to a lot of old folks dying.

Then today, the CDC head said that instead of having the CDC setting up outdoor, drive-thru testing sites with CDC personnel administering tests, they want people to use their own "doctor-provider relationship" to get all testing done. So they're essentially sending thousands of people to PCP's who do not have protective gear to administer tests they do not have. Why? Sure seems like they want to make sure the insurance companies get their cut of the bill.

Poor people don't have drivers licenses. Don't you remember? It's why voter ID is racist.

Though I'm sure this was just a poor attempt at humor, the point wasn't about access to testing it was about making sure we don't overwhelm our healthcare system. Adding testing to already overwhelmed primary care providers who, again, don't have protective gear and will likely end up quarantining themselves, will lead to a crisis.

This is a directive from the CDC. Disease Control. And they're fricking up badly.

As a nurse, I am not taking care of any of these patients unless they are paying me much much more than currently.

The allegedly infected teaching assistant got back from China in DECEMBER. CDC has already nailed down the incubation period as being 5.5 to 21 days. It is now MARCH and the LSU Prof is suddenly screaming about being exposed. He would be sick now or not. He doesn't need to be tested.

Maybe they don't trust the Chinese or the WHO. There's good reason not to.

We'll never know. The Trump administration has classified all internal communications and deliberations regarding coronavirus. Why would they do that? Experts were shut out of meetings because they didn't have clearances. It's a fricking clown show.

He isn't wrong. Trump has been extremely lazy in preparing for this. And he has done nothing to indicate he knows what the frick he is doing...

This was two week ago.

"We took some in from Japan because they were Americans"

WTF?

Then he said it will one day just go away like a miracle. Its almost as if he is in disbelief and just wants to wake up one day and it no longer exisit.

TDS article.

They consider the virus a national security threat.
People around the situation are leaking things to the press. A press that is eager to paint the most dire picture possible and make Trump look as bad as possible. Makes sense to shut out activist bureaucrats errrr "experts."

Listen to yourself. It is bad. Why are you denying it? To defend Trump? Dude, Trump doesn't have you on a list of good little boys and girls...it's OK to recognize he's not up to this task.

Is that seriously what you took away from that post? I’m not panicking either but the federal government, regardless of who is in charge, has done an objectively bad job responding to this shite

Don't attempt to tell me what I should believe and should do.

I don't believe most of what the corporate press reports. It is apparent that you do. And that is OK.

again Wheels, tell me specifically what you want POTUS and USGOV to do about this? You obviously know exactly what he should have done/been doing cause he is lazy, right. So list the steps he should have taken.

and I was correct.The OP was wrong. He/she knew of a coming press release but nothing of its contents.

Grossly irresponsible.
