That - case identified, case quarantined, case researched for all recent close contacts, those contacts tested, among those contacts those who test positive self-quarantine for 14 days; then also isolate the system compromised and the elderly. THAT is how, not quarantining the whole population, is how you deal with an epidemic.

Why are we NOT doing that? We screwed the pooch on getting a jump start on Cov-19 test kits as well as not organizing public health, police and military for the grunt work of tracking those who had close contact with a Cov-19 person and testing those contacts. That would be doing it right.

It’s amazing to see the incompetence. Isn’t the CDC one of the bureaucracies that is supposed to just do its job, no matter who is president? Aren’t they supposed to just jump into action for situations like these? It’s becoming quite clear that the U.S. does not have the best health care or health care system in the world. We are only comparing ourselves to other countries’ state-run systems. It’s totally the fault of the CDC- they are the supposed experts to handle the crises. This is not Trump’s fault.
