Strength through joy
Why is there a non medical doctor as the head of the WHO ?
Because China nominated him for the job.
Why is it that China has almost total control over all the UN Specialty Depts ?
Because they have been planning it for decades.
Why isn't WHO and China sharing their health studies and findings from their efforts to combat this disease with the USA ?
Because they may say that we are their friends, but really could care less about us.

So the number of cases has increased at the rate of approx. 10,000 per day since Saturday and I've heard it suggested that we have plateaued. I remember Dr. Fauci referring to data that we are reacting to today is actually 10-14 days old because of slow test results and Dr. Brix made reference to making headway on results. So 300,000 have been tested but how many test results are we working with and when will we be only a day or two delayed?

The data is old because the incubation period can be up to a few weeks. We’ll never really be a day behind.

Honestly everything should be locked down for three weeks starting tomorrow.

Everyone expressing by the end of that point will show, 90% of them will be fine, and we deal with those in distress.

The economic hit from that would be less than the haphazard National and Federal responses.

It would suck economically, but much less than having to deal with outbreaks for the next six to ten months.

It’s like we’re learning nothing from Italy, Spain, and NYC.

How do we expect to ever get in front of this if we are always two weeks behind? Did South Korea have these same issues or are we using different tests?

South Korea was on it immediately, they tested near everyone, isolated the positive cases, did contact-tracing to find out who the positives interacted with, and shut it down.

Pandemic 101.

It’s far too late for the US to do that, and we’re so far beyond being able to mass test... all we can do now is ‘socially distance’.

We’re still climbing the curve.

If NYC is any clue as to where we’re headed, it doesn’t look good.

"Everything should be locked down".
What a load of BS.

South Korea did not test "near" everyone.

Are you ignorant or lying on purpose?

SK shut it down in less than a month, without dumping their economy, without shutting schools down, etc.

They tested near everyone they needed to test, because they acted immediately.

Contact tracing, look it up Martha.

They’re a Democracy just like us.

I realize they’re a much smaller country, so it’s an apples to rockets comparison, but why were they (within a week) testing 10,000 people a day?

It’s okay, fren.

It’s not the Demobots purposely shutting the economy down, it’s the US’s utter lack of preparation that is shutting the economy down.

Please, blame Obama.

US was more prepared for pandemic than any other country, Johns Hopkins study found

The United States was ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in late 2019 by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS) -- an assessment seemingly at odds with claims by Democrats that the Trump administration left the country vulnerable to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

We were testing just as quickly as they were, but the CDC screwed up the tests.

South Korea used private industry for tests.

Bush era regulations prevented that here. Obama era regulations forced the CDC to discard our tests because one of four regeants had a technical problem.

This is a failure of large federal government and beurocracy you support.

How’s that working out?
