Because, having an account automatically means you have to believe 100% of what you read.
This is from the head of the largest democracy in the world.
I used to pay customers to tell me what they thought before the Internet. This guy is thinking of turning his back on the only direct link to his “customers?”
I read somewhere that some states or localities, don’t remember which, said that they cannot activate their pandemic plans until WHO says it’s a pandemic. I sure hope that’s not true and that leaders of these agencies have the sense to ignore the red tape.
I also read somewhere years ago they didn’t recommend shutting schools until 30% are sick. I’ve seen that number thrown around now. That protocol needs to be thrown out the window too.
I see the Air China #983 Beijing (PEK) to Los Angeles (LAX) flight is in the air with a scheduled landing of 5pm.
What is this closed flights, saved thousands stuff Pres. Trump is touting?
Wait until the masses find out that it spreads asymptomatically and has since the get go
Just posting the tweet. I thought it was interesting.
Maybe he’s been hacked?
A lot of new research articles on COVID19 have been added to FluTrackers.

“mitigation” the word speak started heavily yesterday. They’re coming.
Market up above 500.
Our “emergency plans” required a state declaration of an Emergency.
The reason for this was that it triggered a cooperative situation with regional hospitals. For example certain cases could be diverted, emergency triage facilities would be established, etc. that stuff is expensive. In addition, in the middle of my city, merely setting stuff up would trigger a communications issue that would have to be addressed.
All that stuff needs to be staffed. We cannot trigger mandatory OT for nurses and other union staff without a declaration. It’s in the contracts.
And, it isn’t necessary yet. That doesn’t mean the staff cannot be going through the “stuff” they need. For example, someone needs to go through the inventory of supplies to confirm stuff hasn’t expired and identify short stocks in the inventory.
I am sure they are talking. But in my old facilities they just consolidated about 80% of the emergency prep staff over 5 hospitals. They consolidated them out of work.
From a logistical and emergency communication perspective, I can assure you they are not prepared. All new systems in the last six months. And the people who would be using these systems intro hospitals haven’t been trained.
Ramp up is going to take a while.
Your comment makes me wish FR had a “like” button.
China cannot afford to be idle: their national debt is worse, as a percentage of GDP, than ours is. Therefore, the Uighur slave labor transfers, for example.

Just as 1 ambulance leaves, 3 more medic crews show up at Life Care Center in Kirkland. Donning protective gear and going in to transport residents to hospital. 4 newest Coronavirus cases and 1 death attributed to this nursing facility.

How sad, they’re all going to die, just terrible
Second picture, second figure(s) from the right:
I never knew you could get ebola by staring at a naked man’s butt.
I think we ought to find or come up with a design, sewing pattern.

How hard can it be to hem a rectangle and attach thin elastic on each end to fit over the ears??
UV light causes skin cancer. Seriously.
Again, could be some people with “colds” or asymptomatic not being counted.
Since we are on the topic of diy... I have some aloe vera gel and 70% rubbing alcohol. I thought about combining to make hand sanitizer but I don’t know the ratio should be. Or would combining dilute the alcohol too much?
1/2 cup of alcohol, 1/3 cup of aloe gel.
