McDonald’s personnel handle food without gloves

Those statements are incorrect. Food handling is subject to state and local regulations, at a minimum.

At the McDonalds I stopped in this morning, all employees working around food, including the people scooping fries into containers were using gloves.

I have yet to see any posts that look even remotely like hysteria, except for the ones who are being facetious

There's been several - let me know if you want examples.

There are some conspiracy minded folks for sure. I don’t equate that with hysteria. Quirky maybe, but no one appears off the rails.

Right so all those people out there who think they beat this thing on the first go round, are about to learn they are not immortal after all. Its the second bout that kills you. If not that, then surely the third bout will. So those of your that had a bad flu in the past 3 weeks, that you thought might have been something wicked, you need to become germaphobes like Trump. IMHO.

What is the point of stressing “x states don’t have testing”? ZERO states have testing. State and local agencies do not have the authority to order tests just because one of the CDC approved test labs happens to be in their state. California has two labs, but still has no more ability to test for CV than any other state. The CDC is still the decider of who gets tested, regardless of where the closest approved lab is.

We will see if testing resumes next week when the “new improved” kits are ready, or if there will be another excuse.

Some schools from our state have recently returned from class trips to Italy. One of their mothers works in the same building as my husband. She was given a two week vacation starting this morning.

Definitely will change our way of life. The main problem is the quarantine length after exposure. JIT manufacturing is out the window. Quarantine and disinfect every stage of the way. Those with the largest disinfected inventory will rule the world, or at least their warehouse. Lol.

That was poorly written. I think that it was just a few classes from the schools that made the trip to Italy, not the entire school(s).

Oy.

How about a Democrat Congress that has done nothing for it’s people but try to remove our elected President ? Why have you done nothing to prepare people for a pandemic after SARS ? Why have you left our borders and immigration checkpoints wide open ?

Seems like a big deal to me too.
Mostly because it shows vaccine development is advancing.

Well, I have to say, the CDC’s messaging all this time sure has had its intended effect.

I sent my brother a link to the CDC press release today, no comment, no emoji, just an FYI.

His response was he follows 10 different news feeds and knows people in the field and it is nothing to worry about. That CDC guy yesterday said it was not inevitable. And that he is more worried about the flu killing 10k a year.

And he said “don’t panic”

It was the CDC/MSM almost exact wording.

He has 12 children and grandchildren. He is not prepped, likely none of them are.

We are so screwed.

3 states have testing *kits* that leaves 47 without - simple math, you have a problem with that?

GREAT NEWS!

The media is starting to put out “doom!” stories on the spread of covid here.
So we know that won’t happen... you can always count on the media to lie.

I thought we only had 30 cases in a country of 350 million?
