This is the part where preppers get their math right. Sooner or later someone royally screws up.Zemira said:
Wtf is the CDC doing?????
I gave them the benefit of the doubt last week. This week they have absolutely screwed any sort of credibility they have and it's only Monday.

The Trump administration has reportedly ordered an investigation into a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lab in Atlanta that was in charge of assembling coronavirus test kits after a scientist with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raised concerns that the lab itself may be "contaminated," possibly leading to faulty test kits, according to reports.
If true, talk about perfect storm of disastrous error at the exact wrong time.
This is stupid.Shanked Punt said:
The feds are really going to have to step up and cover any and all cost related to coronavirus. This is just insane.
Most definitely. Luckily in the US we should be able to learn from other country's handling and more importantly the mishandlingk2aggie07 said:Yes agreed. I was just pointing out that we can't look to Singapore or SK to answer "how many people need to be hospitalized" cuz theyre just hospitalizing everyone as a containment measure. And apparently in SK this isn't working out so well because they already don't have enough beds. They've said they're going to look to mobilizing stadiums and the like for treatment.Quote:
Detaining people /= hospitalizing patients.
As noted above King county WA working with a hotel/motel to house infected isnt the same thing as patients needing medical care. Its about containment, not illness. This makes one think we're preparing to keep the generally healthy infected out of hospitals so as not overwhelm the system like appears t be happening in SK.
If - if - the Italy numbers are hospitalization for clinical reasons, that really sucks.

So I have yet to post on this thread, but I got a simple question.
The virus is apparently now out in the population - people with it can yet to have symptoms and still be contagious. Why are they quarenteening people? There are likely thousands of infected people out there walking around, passing it on.
Or maybe their number were incorrect, and they are changing.AG 2000' said:Not a good look. At all.wessimo said:
CDC has been getting hammered in the media and elsewhere for the pitiful number of tests they have conducted, allowing the coronavirus to spread undetected and unchecked.
Solution?
Stop reporting test numbers.
This is our government at work.

Lets at least wait 48 hours before screaming coverup.

The CDC's own pandemic game plan is to slow roll the news coming about in any emerging situation.cisgenderedAggie said:
I suppose I read it as describing a separate issue from the previously eluded to manufacturing issue.
Still think it underscores the absurdity of not just releasing the primer sequences and letting labs develop their assay from the get go.

it's government. Of course they are slow, bureaucratic and incompetent.Mr.Infectious said:Quote:

Do we have to wait to scream incompetence? That seems like a no brainer.....

I am sure its not "new".
How many 100-120 unit exterior corridor Motel 6/Sleep Inn/Days Inn are we going to need? Can you cram 3 patients in each room? Do you get to choose your roommates?
That just sounds like hell on earth. I'll take my chances at home.
But I want the thread to hit 1k pages, and I will vote for Trump over the communists anyway.annie88 said:
Basically everyone in the country and on this thread who hates Trump with a passion is trying to stir this up to be more than it is.
Everyone else realizes that it is overblown overhyped and they are working on it.
There are over 341 million people in our country. This is barely even affected 30 people here yet. And one of the last reports five were elderly.
People calm the **** down
I generally side with the "not as big of a deal crowd" but posts like these are just as annoying as the doomsday posts. Most of us are in here trying to get up to date news on this thing, not hear people ***** at each other about political aspects. Thanks.annie88 said:
