The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19


Hedge

Recommended Posts


Surgeon General: talking about POC and why they seem to be disproportionate on the deaths.  Does not seem to be predisposed due to biology. (again, paraphrased)


Check on your mother, she wants to hear from you right now. (Went into grandma in Spanish, pop-pop, big mama, etc.)

Dr. Brix: (paraphrased) testing. Same testing platform we run for HIV loads. This is complicated.  Every day more are brought online. Daily test expectations. Last year we did 3-4M last year (HIV tests). We have done 2.2M (COVID-19) in the last few weeks. This is unprecedented.  Surveying where the hot sports are (nursing homes).  Strategic approach is needed. Testing symptomatic people and their contacts. This is why the President wanted an antibody test. They are working on a finger prick test.

If you buy into the whole left right thing, you’re already a lost cause. 
 

if you wanted to really try and create a “left - right” scale, at least use the correct extremes. The reality is that on one side would be maximum liberty and on the other would be total government control. As a country we’ve moved far to the government side in the last 30 years, regardless of president or party. 


That's a completely separate scale. This one is based on values.

Trump just unwittingly put himself into a future attack ad against him.  I think he just said there will be no more cases in the very near future.

 

His relentless desire to talk things down is a detriment to himself.

He's already got a lot of quotes on this that are brutal. The HCQ stuff, even if it turns out to be wrong, is not even in the top 5. Trump on a microphone is cringeworthy every time. Trump's actions are usually much better.

And with the Surgeon General talking about tracing contacts on FoxNews, it sounds like they are teasing this idea out little by little. That's fine politically, but it's good news practically.

And just like clockwork, #TrumpBurialPits trends high on Twitter.

 

Leftists are nothing if not predictable.

 

Funny how there's no #CuomoBurialPits trending. 

There's a reason it's called the Trump Virus and not the Cuomo Virus.

If Trump hadn't refused to give NY the life-saving supplies it needed, a lot of those people would probably be alive instead of in a mass-grave.

 

Rightists are nothing if not ignorant.

Not many people died for lack of live-saving supplies that I have heard. This thing is bad enough without making it sound worse.

Surgeon General mentioned tracing yesterday. Birx mentioned testing people's contacts being the goal in the presser according to Buffalo_Gal's summary (thank you). And now this:

 

Quote

 

Apple and Google Team Up to ‘Contact Trace’ the Coronavirus

 

The technology giants said they would embed a feature in iPhones and Android devices to enable users to track infected people they’d come close to.

This is a complete fabrication. No one in NY died for lack of supplies. Some may have been able to be treated effectively with hydroxychloroquine, though.

Doctors and nurses and essential workers aren't getting sick and dying because of a lack of PPE? Might want to inform them of that.

PPE is not 100% effective................Someone should inform you of that.

Congratulations.  You're the king of the idiotic things said today, and it's only 3PM.

Trump: We will be talking in great detail about WHO next week. After the facts are in...

? dum-dee-dum-dum ?

Comparing the amount of money in to WHO, and how they are so China-centric.

China has taken advantage of us because they are a developing nation. (talking about  WTO now) We are not approving new judges. We were in a minority position. Now, we are winning cases. The US was taken advantage of by WTO.
