CDC is controlling ALL information on this.

They will determine what comes out of their labyrinth.

If they issued test kits throughout the nation, then locals would be able to report results outside their control.

Their job, as THEY see it is to support the WHO in avoiding “panic” and declarations of “epidemic” and “pandemic” which trigger treaty clauses that end international travel and commerce.

The survivors will have to hang them.

Typical gov’t bungling of this very important matter. Pres Trump you need to take control of this asap.

You got that right! This is the kind of thing that can come back to bite him in a big way and is pathetically negligent by the bloated bureaucracy. I'm sure the democRATS are already crouched to pounce on him.

Guaranteed.

If it goes on much longer it will be warranted.

Yep, they’ll drop Impeachment if they think this will get more traction.

CDC Conoravirus Test Kit Procedure:
1) Is patient from Trump State?

  1a) Did patient test positive?

     YES - Report patient doesn't have Conoravirus so they'll infect infect other deplorables.

     NO - Report they tested positive to cause panic ...

“He should have already shut down international plane travel.”

Not all of it.

Shut down everything from China, and preclude anyone with “
China” on their passport from directly entering the US from anywhere.

As for US citizens on the outside, set up quarantine facilities on abandoned military bases to set them aside upon entry if they’ve been to China.

Tom here: I guess that means you can ride it out or....

For most viral infections, treatments can only help with symptoms while you wait for your immune system to fight off the virus. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections.

Cures for most viruses are imaginary. It’s always been ride it out or die.

The best hope is for a Vaccine that can help prevent you from getting the viral flu.

I don’t think they’ve had testing kits that long. It’s a new strain.


And one Chinese doctor said it has already mutated into something worse - no further comment was made. This means that that strain has no test. And worse it may be an escaped bio-weapon if if came out of the Wusan L4 Bio-Lab.

Of the original 41 cases, 6 have died ...

Utter ignoramuses make hysterical and ludicrous comments.

In the course of my life I have had the flu 2 times, when much younger.
The last thing you do is run off to a hospital for treatment of the flu unless you think you are going to die.

IMHO for every flu patient going to a hospital 10 are at home riding it out.

The problem is that estimating the number of infected people is just an estimate.

Fortunately the modern flu is not that fatal, percentage wise. -Tom

“There no kits. It’s brand new”

DM revised the article. Yes, there are no kits but the hospitals can do the test easily in 4-6 hours but the FDA is not giving them permission to do so. So all the specimens have to be sent to the CDC

Important data that seems to be overlooked and minimized.
Thanks for posting this.

“A negative means nothing. You can be positive later.

Negative after 14 days quarantine might mean something.”

When are those infected with the Corona Virus the most dangerous re giving it to someone else?

Now it appears to limit at 14 days. “Might” is a key word here.

Do we really have data to document that we are safe after 14 days of confinement?

I read somewhere (I’ve got like 30 tabs open to pubmed right now so ask me later LOL) that SARS patients could shed virus for several weeks AFTER they ‘recovered’.

Don’t quote me on that.

Terrifying if true.
