I think he meant something like “Gee, since so many people are dying let’s get rid of a few troublemakers. Nobody will even notice.”

That pretty much is what they said in Wannsee in 1942.

The test is done in 10 minutes.

Compare that to the new CDC test that will be out and in some hospitals this week.

What is a coronavirus test like? How are CDC kits handled? Here are the details:

https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article240733946.html

Even if this test had been available before tomorrow, basically only a couple of hospital labs in America could even do this test.

Since it basically requires a very high tec lab and people to do the test.

It still has to be sent by to CDC for a real diagnosis.

So how were the so called patients previously tested and declared that they had the CoronaVirus.

Try Presumptive Diagnosis not a real diagnosis.

So we will probably not have any real Definitive Diagnosis of CoronaVirus patients until probably after this week is over.

Presumptive Diagnosis are similar to assuming a patient has this virus.

What happens when we assume the results of something that is complicated?

Thanks for the feedback.
Regards, Dave

You observe. You have to watch the local news. You have to gauge attendance.

It’s not horrible to make the “cut” a week early.

I stopped going to mass when my wife got sick at the end of the summer. Gonna stay away until she feels better. Life goes on. God knows.

[DouglasKC]

45,734 Cases which had an outcome

42,733 (93%) Recovered / Discharged

3,001 (7%) Deaths

Is that right? Is that a 7% Case Fatality rate?

[PGalt]

The cancel culture should cancel the level 4 labs, the Chinese, the rest of time.

I’m a little worried... I just got back last night from a week in Cozumel. I picked up a cold starting around Day 3 of our trip.

I’m VERY stuffy, but also have drainage.. and, feel generally crappy. But, I don’t have any fever.

I’m thinking I might ‘Self-Quarantine’... ie: work from home, tomorrow if I don’t feel any better.

[justa-hairyape]

Very good point. A bunch of naysayers all ran down to Costco after finally giving up their game. This after no study at all about how to defend themselves from this disease. There was video of them picking their noses, no gloves, no masks. Say good night.

I am still baffled at all thus time why
The WH and CDC are stopping flights from our new Hot Zones in Korea and Italy .
Its like that Ground hog day movie .
How long did it take for a rational Chinese quarantine.
Now our first death was a Korean national who just flew back from a hot zone city and strolled thru Sea-tac with no problems infecting people on the way back to Kirkland.
No quarantine stops .
NYC has a case of Italian travel rolled thru JFK with no hassle.
Was this case a Chinese national visiting
the Milan area with that Chinese colony of garment workers of a New Yorker on vacation. the
The WH and
CDC have learned nothing and still screwing up .
Where is homeland security ?

Same mess like 6 weeks ago .

With their UIghur slaves the Chinese can combine the animal and human testing ??

And I don't think it's that simple...

[9YearLurker]

Why is it that you trust those numbers?

[datura]

About 11 years ago China gave 300 million of their citizens a vaccine for SARS.

That same vaccine had a side effect of making them far more susceptible to coronavirus.

I was just at Costco in Florida today. Short lines. No panic buying.

This is huge...

A top federal scientist sounded the alarm about what he feared was contamination in an Atlanta lab where the government made test kits for the coronavirus, according to sources familiar with the situation in Atlanta.

The Trump administration has ordered an independent investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab, and manufacturing of the virus test kits has been moved, the sources said.

BREAKING: Two health care workers, one from Solano County and another one from Alameda County, are “presumptive positive” for coronavirus.

[LilFarmer]

The concern was raised in a conference call with concerns from several agencies...

[donozark]

WTF! Lookner now reporting Atlanta CDC Lab may have been contaminated. Test kits for Coronavirus may have been contaminated, etc. What the hell is going on? Sounds like sabotage to me!

[caww]

You know as well as others you aren't going to stop them all....anymore than we can stop all the illegals coming over the boarder.

And BTW the white House and CDC are certainly doing what they can to contain this and done one heck of a great job so far.......It doesn't do a dang thing to help by gripping and complaining.
