Continuation of the Thread
Need working test kits first.
Earliest vaccine date for wide spread human use is early 2021. Two vaccines currently undergoing animal testing.
“Seems like Trump is believing the numbers coming from China. Seems to me this is being downplayed.”
I think so too. Heard President Trump state low risk but also left open it could be high risk. Then went into the Flu data.
Would a President come straight out and say China data is bad? Not sure...
They think the virus could come back next year.
“Need working test kits first.” they need those out fast.
“Would a President come straight out and say China data is bad? Not sure...”

Being that since even the questionable Chicom low numbers are still pretty bad, I can see why someone might wanna go with them instead of the more likely numbers so as to not panic people.
Trump was asked about restricting travel to countries like South Korea and Italy and Trump said now is not the right time to restrict travel to/from there. What??? In order to keep this contained, now is the right time to restrict travel from there.
So, have the Mooninites and Dittoheads weighed in yet?
PING!
“Agenda Free TV/Lookner is how these Coronavirus threads pretty much got started.”

Sometimes it’s nice just to have someone act as a news aggregator and give you some basics. The fellow is watchable and he can be funny when he gets excited: “Wait a minute! Waitaminute!” It’s his full time work and he does a pretty good job.
none of the idiots of the greedy media asking about the kits- the most important issue.
I believe the CDC is being a straight shooter in this case, even if it is just to cover for their towering incompetence.
I like him too, it’s nice that I can do,other things and listen to the recap of the news. His incredulous reaction to the China numbers cracks me up.
It seems like they are playing good cop/bad cop.
The President delivers the good news, CDC delivers the bad news....
My read—they have no clue what is going on—I don’t think it is anybody’s fault, just the way it is.
He’s hoarse
I saw less inventory at Wally World, but they were restocking (Mt. Airy, MD).
Remdesivir isn’t mass manufactured by anyone yet. It is created in laboratories in small amounts for research use.
Aldi’s was good today, but that place is always well stocked.
Testing kits question...finally!
He’s taking credit for an early, courageous travel ban, while we are not restricting flights from Italy, South Korea or Japan. They are playing with fire.
“I guess I picked the wrong week to wean myself off anti depressants.”
Everytime I have done that it turned out to be a mistake, seriously. But I am breaking my losartan in half to preserve doses. The upper 50% of the original dose does not have much marginal utility anyway.
He is doing what he needs to do.
Some folks will take away that this is the flu.
Some other folks will hear, “Take the pandemic plan and dust it off.”
This will cause the Dow to go up 1,000 points.
The virus cases will increase tomorrow and the next day.
Whatever.
