If anyone at CDC objects to the WH doing tests, the President needs to fire them, on the spot.

Test now, no delays, no excuses.

[LilFarmer]

Agreed. I pray someone close to them reads this thread. ****

The only alcohol I have found, and that was only at BJ’s where youhave to have a membership to shop, is the 70%.

70% is fine. If you dilute with water, it is very acceptable:

Walmart has and they will ship to you house.

Nope.
No tests for politicians! (Would like to make an exception for WH- but no).

Healthcare workers, first responders, contact and ‘at risk’ only.

CORRECTION-this person was NOT in contact with POTUS or vpotus.

So, 45 test kits (presumably tests already done, waiting for results) for:

—63 residents plus
—110 employees

So, that leaves 128 folks in the facility that will be not be tested.

Needless to say, they need to be tested _stat_.

Hello, WA state health folks. Do the tests and apologize to CDC later!

“But it’s not worse than the flu..”

Wonder how many people will be saying that in a couple of weeks.

The chart needs another line for death/costs- or something- to show that after the health system is overloaded all social systems start breaking down.

[PA Engineer]

Please just post the link. You are obviously unable to post properly.

Dr. Google is not your friend.

We have to wait until it hits DC. Get a few of those ancient Congress critters sick and all hell will break loose.

Then they will light a fire under their asses.

The Roto Rooter jingle...

“Wear a mask when out, and keep your hands clean!
Or you may end up quarantined!
covid-19... covid -19...”

No apology necessary with the work you guys have been doing here.

I gotta tell ya the more I look at this thread and the previous one the more I see true genius all over it. You guys have really accomplished a lot here. No where else on the web is there this kind of comprehensive look at what is going on in facet after facet.

.....................

I do a lot on the TV talk show thread on Sunday and have since 2005.I also work 60 hours a week and am burnt out by the weekend.Ill peek in from time to time,great stuff here.

dont worry im gone.

[Jane Long]

Hospital officials said she didn’t meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and GDPH criteria for COVID-19 testing, so she was treated and released. After she began to feel worse, the woman was eventually tested. The test has now confirmed that she has COVID-9. Officials say she has been hospitalized.

I wonder how many cases we have, nationally, just like this one...due to the early CDC testing criteria.

😱

If you are elderly and have comorbidities you would be a moron to go to any gathering, no matter whose name it’s in.
