“Let’s blame the intern.”
Smells fishy to me.
So many gross failures, almost as if people deliberately acted to fail.
Did I hear yesterday that the “flaw” was actual coronavirus?
Pretty HUGE flaw.
If so.
Quick. Get the MSM. See if you can blame Trump. I’m sure you will find a way.
Has ANYONE here ever seen ANYTHING the government doesn’t screw up EVER???
Here goes the media and the Democrats, 3, 2, 1 “It’s Trump’s fault! Impeach, impeach!”
That guy with the under-chin beard is head of CDC. He kind of knifed Trump in yesterday’s Washington Post and in today’s briefing.
I wish Trump were more disciplined in coordinating messages, using trusted advisers to plan in a systematic way. Instead, he goes out and riffs, and puts the bearded guy forward without apparently knowing that he won’t back up Trump’s message.
The CDC was too busy trying to shut down the vaping industry to do their actual job.
Paraphrasing Reagan; “the most terrifying words you’ll ever hear is, we are from the gov’t and we’re here to help”.
CDC’s failed coronavirus tests were tainted with coronavirus.. sloppy laboratory practices at two of three CDC labs involved in the tests’ creation led to contamination of the tests and their uninterpretable results.
After the CDC first sent its test kit to states in early February, it took the agency around a month to fix the problem.
Fire his ass
When this thing is over we need to take 80% of the FedGov and gut it like a fish.

How many people did CDC infect?
The 1.2 million Chinese antibody tests that the Slovak government bought from local middlemen for 15 million euros ($16 million) are inaccurate and unable to detect Covid-19 in its early stages, according to Prime Minister Igor Matovic, who only took office last month. “We have a ton and no use for them,” he said. They should “just be thrown straight into the Danube.”
Matovic may have an ax to grind as the testing kits were purchased by the previous government, of which he has been a fierce critic for many things, including its record on fighting corruption. Still, similar difficulties have cropped up from Madrid to Istanbul
And treating ‘gun violence’ as a disease.

Modernizing and Expanding Outbreak Science to Support Better Decision Making During Public Health Crises: Lessons for COVID-19 and Beyond

This report proposes potential approaches to addressing this problem. A first option is to create a permanent federal institution in the form of a new agency similar to the National Weather Service. This centralized service would serve the interagency, producing infectious disease analyses and advancing the foundational science. A second option would be to reinstate and redesign a previously existing capability comprised primarily of academics who served as experts on surge capacity in the event of an outbreak. A third option would be to employ some elements of both of these approaches. For this option, we recommend a life cycle approach, inspired by the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), in which outbreak scientists gain experience through 2-year field placements. Ultimately, as the COVID-19 pandemic underscores, modeling plays a key role in supporting decision making during outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics. For this reason, we must expand our national outbreak science capabilities in order to better prepare for and respond to infectious disease threats.
