I”m going to just put a guess out there, that he doesn’t trust the CDC either, which is why he’s keeping this CV=team inhouse and under the watchful eye of VP Pence, who can’t be manipulated or snowed.
Which would mean the ACE2 racial distribution means nothing at all. It will affect all races the same.
Also means the vaccine they’re working on that uses the spike protein is useless.
“The flu comparison was pained but it’s better than saying 20% of the people who get will end up in the hospital. That would cause panic. “
It would.
And it would cause people to demand government meet their principal obligation of protecting people from outside threats.
If true that’s alarming.
Ca case.....
Lookner just read a story from the local paper///
patient at Davis
arrived last weds...tested Sunday....got results today
wanted to test earlier but CDC said they didn’t meet the criteria
arrived in bad shape
small number of staff asked to stay home and watch their temp
he is waiting for another source to confirm
it might have sounded wishy washy, but he also spent at least a minute on trade with China that will help our farmers. So maybe it’s a smarter move is to let someone a little further down the ladder take China to the woodshed?
“We keep hearing (just heard it, again, from a Dr on Tucker) that we’re “monitoring”, as in the 83 people in Nassau County, NY....cosing millions to monitor.”
The US CDC will not test anyone who is not very sick. And even then their testing is not accurate. They don’t/won’t test known contacts, the send them home with instructions to take their temp twice a day and report back.
Yet thousands are being accurately tested in 40 other countries.
Unacceptable. And a total fail.

This is a bigger sample than the original paper on arxiv.org.
It compared men / women, Asian/Caucasian, ex-or-current smoker / nonmokers
There were 213 samples
THere were no ethnic differences in the number of ACE2 receptors...except for smokers/ex-smokers.
There were differences between smokers/non-smokers, and men/women.
But with the news news of the cleavage site on the spike protein...dunno if it makes much difference.
Forget ethnic distributions.
Which human cells have the largest # of furin enzymes expressed on the surface?
Please don’t say any immune cells.
“Oh and President Trump DID say that they ARE testing those whom they need to test.”
What he DIDN’T say is that we are testing only those who present with fever and have a known vector to China.
That’s it.
If the furin thing pans out (I haven’t looked at it yet) the ACE2 distribution either way for whatever reason becomes irrelevant.
Might also affect other tissues. I’ll have to look at that and what distribution it’s got.
Ping PA Engineer to that paper too. (the furin one) Just in case he’s not here and/or overlooks it

This article reports new CA virus patient is at UC Davis med center (WaPost also reports that). Article says med center wanted CDC to test patient on check-in last Wednesday, but patient didn’t meet CDC criteria for testing so wasn’t tested until Sunday.
Maybe, but the CDC has been pushing the meme since day one. Which has been picked up by the MSM, and sadly, Rush.
Lookner is so good.
Yeah. Finally the CDC admits something that has been happening for weeks.
South Korea First Case 1/20/20
37 days later 1,261 cases
United States First Case 1/31/20
37 days later is in about 10 days.
Criminal.
If anyone heard Trump’s entire press conference, did the CDC increase the availability of test kits? The UC Davis case makes CDC look every ounce like the Chinese refusal or inabilty last month to test in Wuhan.
