When you combine incompetence with a completely cavalier attitude and employment for life, this is what you get.

Not much better than how the commies handled it in China.

Let’s see what’s going on here in 3 weeks.

FDA just gave hospitals permission to do their own testing an hour or so ago.

There is no real penalty (politically) to overreacting here, so Trump should be overly aggressive, not dismissive.

How do medical professionals determine if a person has this virus or a serious flu? When does a person who is feeling sick go get checked for coronavirus?

CDC’s big priority is the increasing STD patients in our gay population who are having unprotected sex.

[Repeal The 17th]

According to my information...
CDC employees have been dispatched across the USA
to contact and interview certain identified subjects
and that those employees are only authorized
to interview people and collect data and
they do not do any kind of sampling and/or testing.
-
IF ‘sampling and/or testing’ is being done, it is from some other entity,
it is not being done by the CDC.

They want us dead!

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.

The source of all cases are people arriving in the US who have been exposed to the virus in China. Why haven’t our borders been closed to anyone who has been there during the time period in question????

[blueplum]

Part of the delay is the sample getting to CDC

aww, com’n now. Don’t we have specialized medical sample people who courier such items? It’s not like you can’t get from LA to Atlanta in 6 hours....

[momincombatboots]

How did they get the test this quickly? Sounds like the cdc was able to pump out a “test” a bit faster than the avg reliable test developer. Any specificity and sensitivity data been released yet. Is it more reliable and specific than the travel history and symptoms. Rhetorical. A lil immunology study on how tests are developed could go a long way.
I have seen too many novel tests produce false positives, and false negatives.

[metmom]

And we should trust the government to keep us safe?

I don’t think so.

[dp0622]

Waiting on FDA??

We’ll all be dead from old age by then!

Thanks for posting. I’ve been following this on other forums, and haven’t come to any logical conclusions yet. Event 201 is interesting. Link from poster at zero hedge.

Another “insurance policy” for CRIMINAL STATE operatives?

[formosa]

Our government needs to get serious about this. Everyone I know is already making lists and buying supplies. There is a lot of concern about this virus. We are all sick to death of this silly impeachment. It should have been dismissed and never entertained in the senate. Thee are far more important issues facing our country. It is time for the losers in DC to get back to work and stop behaving so badly they disgust a two year old.
