I feel like we are living the movie the "Groundhog Day".1. Virus hits Asia. Europe thinks they are fine, they get hit2. Virus hits Europe. US thinks they are fine, Washington and NY get hit3. Virus hits Washington and NY, Midwest thinks they are fine, Midwest gets hit.4. Virus hits Midwest, South & West think they are fine.....At what point do leaders take responsibility when this movie plays OVER AND OVER again?
The WH is planning to end federal support for local coronavirus testing sites across the nation at the end of the month - including seven in Texas, where confirmed cases of COVID are spiking.Texas has seen a 146-percent increase in lab-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations since Memorial Day and Houston could soon be the country’s worst-hit city, health officials have warned.https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/As-feds-ready-to-pull-support-for-testing-sites-15360900.php
That is just mind-boggling. I don’t get his endgame. People are still going to get sick, hospitalized and die. This will make it worse because there will be more undetected and uncontrolled spread. How does that benefit him or the American people?
Because places like Texas do not count deaths or hospitalizations unless there is a positive PCR test. They don't even count cases diagnosed with other diagnostic tests. Unless there is a verified PCR test, states like Texas and Florida will not count it as a case, a hospitalization, or a death.So they will just get recorded as ILI's or pneumonia. Makes it less likely that additional restrictions/shutdowns are needed, and makes it look like things "got better".
Yeah - forgot about that. Do you have any idea how many states count that way?
This is probably the easiest thing to understand about him, Goo.His end game is always Donald Trump.
Meanwhile in Texas ...@tripgabriel: .@GovAbbott tells Texans to stay home unless absolutely necessary as the state sets another record for new cases.Texas was one of first states to *end* stay-home orders on April 30.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/23/world/coronavirus-updates.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage
Novak Djokovic has tested positive for coronavirushttps://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/29351887/novak-djokovic-tested-positive-coronavirusDjokovic has been criticized for organizing the tournament and bringing in players from other countries amid the coronavirus pandemic. There were no social distancing measures observed at the matches in either country.
"Life goes on" was his quote last month. Defiant, feeling of invincibility, impatient, young, elite athlete, couldn't possibly happen to him. And if it does, he'll be fine. But of course, it isn't about just him, but everyone exposed by everyone there. Bar and club hopping while there. Nole was also outspoken against the U.S. Open protocols, limited guests etc....(Djokovic routinely rents a large house for his large group annually when playing in Queens)
Surprisingly, quite a few, but to varying degrees. Florida and Texas seem to have the most strict definitions of a case, but apparently 28 states are not completely following CDC case reporting guidelines.https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/health/us-coronavirus-tuesday/index.htmlAlso, as a funny aside, almost accidentally invited the Scoop community to the meeting I was just scheduling tomorrow. Thought I had copied the above link, and pasted it in and almost hit post before realizing it was a zoom link. It was a CoVID meeting, so at least it was on topic.
