Oso planning to go pro
I didn't see this on here, but this article on how Dyson designed a production-ready ventilator in ten days was posted by a super-lefty Facebook friend of mine.https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/26/tech/dyson-ventilators-coronavirus/index.htmlI didn't have the heart to tell her that she has capitalism to thank for that.

It sounds like I was right about negotiations with FEMA not going well and Trump wanting to expedite the process.
And of course you were wrong (again) as to why negotiations weren’t going well, and, that Trump wanted to expedite the process. He could have invoked the Defense Production Act weeks and weeks and weeks ago when it was suggested and requested by many. I must have missed that part in your post.
I agree he could have and probably should have invoked it sooner. He's a very pro-business guy and probably wanted to show that businesses would step up on their own without being forced to do so by Uncle Sam. That didn't work out, and it ended up costing us precious time. I'm still sticking by my comments on the reason the conversations weren't going well, based on the sources you shared, which did seem to cover the story pretty well. And in all seriousness, the reason why so many of my posts have phrases like "I think" or "it sounds like" or something similar are because I fully acknowledge that I don't know all the details. I can read a few articles to get myself familiar with a situation, but any conclusion I draw is still pretty likely to not include all the real facts. So to me, based on what I read, it does sound like FEMA played a big role in not wanting to commit to GM. I'm not being snarky with that, I'm honestly saying that's how I've interpreted the sources you've shared. I even shared the quotes that stood out to me as being the most important in the coverage.
More spin than Rafa Nadal.
Oh silly, us leftys like capitalism, just not unregulated disaster capitalism.In other potentially good news--an oldie but goody, mentioned here previously, using the anti-bodies of recovered patients.

I read your sources and shared the quotes from those sources that helped form my position. If you feel like that's spin, then I guess we'll agree to disagree. No biggie.
I know many of you here don’t realize this, but what has been at times, a pretty decent and informed thread, there are so many here who have successfully turned this back into the once “forbidden politics” such that it has probably turned away some very informed opinions, knowledge and additions to a constructive debate.
I've thought the same. Both Trump and Pence have been unbelievably lucky after multiple exposures and I don't know if Biden has confirmed exposure but sounds like Rand Paul made sure every Senator did. Have to imagine the luck would run out as the schedule got more and more intense with meetings and events
Scott Gottlieb, MD@ScottGottliebMD·13mThis is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.
I’m confused. When people in a position of authority said stupid and completely probably false we shouldn’t comment as it is political? Seems facts are now a partisan thing.
Y'all get yo chance in November ta vote yea or nay. Dat's democracy and dat's da way wee do it here. God bless America, aina?
It's a symptom and actions of someone with Severe Narcissistic Disorder Syndrome.There are several stories about it over the last 3 years from The Atlantic. When I locate I will share.
We have fallen so far that nobody is even surprised.He had normalized appalling conduct to the point where everyone views it as just "Trump being Trump."
This was how it was always going to end. Blame blue state governors for the issues. Trump operates in colors. These are blue states, brown people.
That's my guess. We would either learn about it as he was on his deathbed, or after he recovered.
No.Or Yes and his greatness would defeat the virus in his body.
Keeping it under 100,000 would be nice under the circumstances..
If by “circumstances” you mean earlier predictions that 180 million American would be infected and the death rate was north of 3%, yeah. Under 100,000 is much better than 5.4 million.
I agree. And frankly, I we (it's not just me) don't have the time to moderate it all. So folks, please stop.
Well that many may get infected, but at least not all at once. We can deal with people better when its not all at once!
