Thanks for the explanation. I agree, communication is a good thing. Sigh.

From your link....

....Border Patrol Agent Chris Cabrera, in his capacity as spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council and Local 3307 (in the Rio Grande Valley Sector) told Breitbart Texas in a phone interview on Tuesday that he is pleased with the planning and preparation coming from CBP headquarters and management.

“In McAllen, we have always had plenty of personal protection equipment including respirators, gloves, eye protection, and hand sanitizer,” Cabrera stated. “We now have a room filled with this equipment that is ready to be handed out if it becomes necessary.”

He explained his agents follow specific protocols to isolate migrants they apprehend who came from China and those who are traveling with them. They also monitor the migrants for any symptoms and immediately move them to hospitals for treatment if necessary.

Breitbart Texas Border Security Analyst Jaeson Jones spoke with agents in other stations who confirmed the availability of N95 masks and other protective gear that are stockpiled in their local stations and ready for use.....

I for one didn’t think you did. Not your style. And if you wanted a thread pulled, it would have been this one.

Oh I sure hope these threads don’t get pulled, I spend several hours a day researching and posting all the news on these threads on top of my regular work. It honestly is the only place I know of online to be able to freely talk about the virus, Facebook and Twitter are heavily censored now.

So here’s my theory on all this.

It appears for most people COVID-19 is like a mild cold or flu, that’s it. For some however it gets very serious, but it’s a small portion that it effect this way. There’s no need talking %’s because we won’t know for a year what the % is.

The CDC is doing almost no testing whatsoever, nearly none compared to most nations. You have to be deathly ill and still have bat-wing crumbs in your mustache to get tested. They also won’t let anyone else test, results take 5 to 7 days. But why?

Here’s why. COVID-19 isn’t very serious at all for almost everyone that is going to get it. However, unlike what we are used to each year during the cold/flu season for some individuals it goes hyper and straight for the lungs, it’s serious for them, very.

The CDC and sadly probably President Trump know that COVID-19 is already circulating widely in the US. It cannot be stopped, to attempt to do so would start a mass panic. I think there thinking is we are in better health, have better hospitals, and might night be as susceptible to the more serious lung issues as the Chinese for a whole host of reasons.

To simply announce daily how many new COVID-19 we have would accomplish nothing, nothing good anyway. Therefore, we don’t test. The very sick will show up at the hospitals and be helped.

If the US can come out of this stronger than most other nations we will rebuild internally and with Trump has President we’ll begin to end our reliance on China and other nations for critical needs. This might be a wise strategy though it will anger many when they find out our government knew all it along it was here, and big time.

Who are you to "call out" anyone?
You haven't even mastered capitalization.

If that’s the case and their thinking, they should say that. And Trump should not drag out his line about only 15 positive here because of his early action.

Do you think it’s possible some of the evacuee’s children may be connected somehow?

EGYPT
Twelve patients cured, several in serious condition: what we know of the 38 cases of coronavirus in France
...
****Two people fell ill from a trip to Egypt*****

The minister also said that two people were hospitalized in serious condition after an organized trip to Egypt in a group of 20 people. Jérôme Salomon, Director General of Health, who succeeded him at the microphone, detailed:

“These are two relatively elderly people who are currently in intensive care, one in Brest, the other in Dijon and the rest of the group, about twenty people, will be contacted”

What’s going on in Egypt that they are exporting cases? Boy oh boy.

CDC appears to have updated their criterion for testing. Now includes cases where “no source of exposure has been identified” and also travel histories from Iran, Italy, Japan, and South Korea (along with China). Site was updated yesterday.

What the heck?

This is the calmest, most reasonable thread around.
A daily thread is a good size.

Since VP Pence took over:
Testing is taking priority
Tests are fixed and ready to ship
Debbie Birx is put in charge, and has an impressive resume
And protocols are where they should be.

There is still a lot of catching up to do. It drives me nuts that liberals are making fun of “anti-science” Pence on Twitter when it appears he has done more in ONE DAY than the CDC has done in a month.

"< theory type=Conspiracy > Could this whole thing be a hoax engineered by the CIA in concert with the ChiComs to engineer a Trump defeat? Have the ChiComs weaponized what is essentially the common cold? Has anyone outside of China who was not otherwise healthy died? Why all the ChiCom secrecy? Maybe there is no there, there? < theory >

Please tell me I am crazy. I am NOT normally a conspiracy nut."


Not a bad hypothesis. BUT, there are 4000 cases outside of China growing at the same RO as the Spanish flu of 1918. With the same death rate as the Spanish Flu.

I wish I could support your theory, sadly I can't.

The supply chain impact is hitting our stock market. Lots of businesses with empty inventory and nothing coming to replace it. Lots of lost sales for inability to manufacture (no parts/no labor). An infected employee is an instant pariah as the contagion will spread with no respect to the value of the persons infected. Since parties can be infected, asymptomatic and spreading virus, it is high risk to get your employees together. The impacts are broader than your assessment covers.

I made the joke, “we have gone from fomenting hysteria to being never trumpers” as a joke in the Body content.

That was deemed to be “flame baiting” whatever that means.

Old, staid men with little sense of humor.

I often wonder where the class of ‘98 went. There used to be humor,intelligence and a sense of camaraderie on this site. Poor moderation and old age is killing it.

Wow, this is not good contact tracing. Yikes...


I assume these are the two medical people that were mentioned in the local media last night as “isolate and monitor temp” from Davis
