For those of you that don’t know the cdc has only tested 441 people .. they want to test more but many kits are defective .. yet somehow other countries can test 1000’s a day
Hawaii hasn’t even tested anyone despite the fact that Two Chinese tourists that tested positive roamed the island .. people there are pissed and want to import test kits from japan
TRUMP NEEDS TO WAKE UP
Thanks! If you missed the recent news - a potential case from Italy in Romania, 3rd death is an oncologist in Italy, US military is on lockdown in S. Korea, but no way to test, border shut between Austria and Italy and a bunch of other stuff. Previous thread:

Maybe I just haven't seen them but it seems like they should be all over the place.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Obviously Commercial and Military Air Travel is not going to be halted, thus the governments have a vested financial interest in not stopping the spread of this virus. People will just have to die in order that air travel continue, and the profits of the airlines continue so they can pay for the planes they buy and have on order.
CDC site, for those interested
For the “It’s just the flu” bunch:
The ending of meds for my dad will finish him off. I was on the cusp of telling him what was coming a week ago, but I figure his fate is now in God’s hands and scaring him would not do anything constructive (he’s the CNN type, so he thinks that all is well, or at least that big government will, somehow, come to the rescue, if needed).
And more people are still dying from the regular strains of the flu.
I’ve been following “Blazing Press”, “Shrimp Zoo”, and “ Dr. John Campbell” on YouTube. Anyone have any others?
Here’s audio from a CDC covid19 question & answer session. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0221-cdc-telebriefing-covid-19.mp3
At the 10 minute mark, she says the US may have to shut down schools, public events etc like Italy is doing.
Everyone should prepare accordingly. Rice and beans will keep you alive and are cheap. Store shelves are bare in certain parts of Italy. N95 mask supplies are running low here already and amazon/ebay sellers are price gouging.
And of course most people in fedgov and big city gov have the same mentality as the Puerto Rican gov people who hid FEMA supplies in warehouses just to blame Trump and make him look bad. Never let a crisis go to waste, the ends justify the means etc. And in an election year, they will think this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
According to the sketchy numbers out of China, when is the projection for # of casses to top 100,000? What are the projections for the death toll to surpass 10,000? Next week for both?

I had the flu last year and was delerious for three days. It took me two weeks to recover. This coronavirus appears to be much worse.
