Continuation of the thread.
Please use this thread to consolidate the discussion and stories.
Singapore learned from SARs.
They have been on the ball with this virus.
Testing everyting that doesn’t move fast enough. They call it ‘sentinel testing’.
And oddly enough, Singaporeans who are diagnosed positive or are the contacts of someone who is...stay home when asked to.
Read StraitsTimes sometimes.
M is thousand.
MM is million.
“Interesting timing....on the testing chems shortage.”
Shortages are what happens when you no longer manufacture anything.
The countries that do make them need the test kits themselves. So we have to wait in line.
The government. The CDC.
Their steps so far are perfunctory, they are distracting people by holding out tax breaks. Tax breaks dont matter when there is no transactional business going one.
The testing thing is a joke.
The lack of border closings is unbelievable.
Thats who.
Yes, obviously.
“Nadine Dorries”
Let the sh!t show begin.
It seems the virus does not respect class or power or wealth.
Lochner—No audience at Sunday’s Dem debate.
I don’t think a full out containment was ever seriously considered anyway. The repercussions would probably kill more people than the virus.
I have no words

has just announced a “Catholics for Trump” event on March 19th at a convention center in Milwaukee, #Wisconsin.
“but everyday he looks flat footed, like he just cant get a handle on it mentally”
He’s in denial. He doesn’t believe this is a problem.
And all fed actions flow from the will of the executive.
IMHO it’s like ccp is holding our government hostage.
Not that I’d expect a whole LOT of competence mind you. But THIS level of incompetence is astounding even to me.
I’m wondering now if it’s like ‘take your licks with this virus or we’ll release a REAL bioweapon in your largest cities’ kind of blackmail going on.
CCP even got a US medical institution to change their basic geographical/national nomenclature. WTH. WTAF.
CCP puppets. All.
This is wonderful, of the ChiComs, to be helping Italy out, during this horrific time.
Can they please send us some testing kit chemicals?
Hmmmm????
As far as I am concerned, if you haven’t tested negative, you are positive.
With almost no testing we have no choice but to make that assumption.
They can pass the communion and spread COVID-19. Trump is blowing it big time, there should be no mass gatherings. To Trump this is a minor thing, what’s he going to say when the Hospitals are on meltdown. Those who survive will be paying the rest of their life to pay off the medical bills while the government employees pay nothing for their coverage and hide in the bunkers. Screw Trump, so disappointed.
IMHO WE were supposed to be the first victims of this virus.
Probably released in 100 cities at the same time.
No way we’d know what hit us in time to do anything about it.
And CCP would have shut down any medical supplies to us on the basis of ‘you have the virus, we can’t send you anything...and if we do there will be...geopolitical adjustments afterwards...’
that’s what I forgot - pectin! thanks for the reminder metmom!
Genetics is more of a factor.
The Chinese have more of the ACE2 enzyme in their lungs than others do. SARS and Covid-19 bind to it. This is likely the reason that both diseases have been big killers in China but not as much elsewhere.
Lookner—no press filing center at the Democratic debate...
I agree. This is not something the President should take any blame for.
The President cannot keep some knucklehead from sneezing on you.
I am not a fan of how this is being handled, but you are in charge of you.
People saw this coming two months ago. Why didnt they pay attention. This is not Trumps fault.
