re: We have tested ~1.8 million out of 330 million people in US

We should have been the most prepared country on the planet for this outbreak. No one could have fathomed how far behind we’d be in testing at this point.
On the Global Health Security Index, a report card that grades every country on its pandemic preparedness, the United States has a score of 83.5, the world’s highest. We should be in a much better situation right now. Testing is the tip of the iceberg. What evidence have you seen that suggests our testing will ramp up significantly this week? We’ve finally started averaging 100,000 a day.

How many has South Korea tested?

. If only we could have responded as well as countries like South Korea.

We didn’t do that? Wtf. We did it early comparably speaking. Aggressive? Does destroying the best economy ever ring a bell?
Jesus man you can find some faults here and there, but to say we didn’t aggressively quarantine is a freaking mistake.

We’re not quarantining.
Quarantining is isolating people who’ve been known to have been exposed.
We’re asking basically the entire country to act like they’ve been exposed and pretending it’s a quarantine.

Not like SK but what they did is a violation of multiple laws and rights in this country.

Has the S.O.B. started another thread
They’re shameless scum

South Korea has tested about 460,000 to their 51 million people.We’ve done about 1.8 million to our 330 million people
So per capita, they’ve done a better job than we have. There was a much larger difference until this past week. They ramped things up early while we struggled mightily.
While they were testing 10,000 a day we were testing 2,000.
Taiwan and Singapore according to Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security

...and yet most are predicting we are near the peak and will end up with less deaths than the seasonal flu

They’ve tested .9% of their population. We’ve tested .5%.
When we get to .9%, I’m going to assume you’re going to write a post proclaiming how well we’ve done with testing?

The approach is the worse of the strategies... no quarantines and social distancing. Which really doesn't solve anything, not really, it does slow the rate but only for a while. In the meantime, the economy has been destroyed and eventually the global financial system will have to break down.
The best course of action was always to isolate the weak elderly as best as possible, anyone that chooses to self-isolate if they wish... go on with life.

Happy to expand. On March 5th we had done 8,842 tests. They had done 146,541 tests.
And it took a very long time for us to even make a dent in that. Even though we had our first cases on the same day, they were way ahead of the curve compared to us in the beginning which helped their response tremendously.
They’ve still done nearly 2 times more than we have per capita which is not a small amount.

So did we frick up? As a democrat, how would you have found time during the busy period of oversight to order 100 million CV19 test kits. And if I lived closer to China I would take these exotic diseases seriously.

The CDC and FDA fricked up. That is a proven fact. Had they not screwed up, we would not have been so far behind in testing. It’s in that article. I’m not bashing Trump here, all I was trying to do was let you guys know what happened that led to us being here. This was about the CDC and FDA
