COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

Reposting isn't helping you.

By the way, you also originally said he had "no known contacts that had tested positive."  Turns out he had on 3/7/20. Care to retract dude?

Nope, I don't. Why? Because in my OP, it wasn't made public he had been exposed. And, in that case, AS IN ALL OTHER CASES, if someone hasn't been exposed and isn't showing symptoms, then they shouldn't be tested. Period. I don't care who they are or how much money they have.

I do hope senator Paul recovers.

Now. When you responded to my OP, you were defending his testing without knowing he was exposed.

Hypocrisy.

And still a clownshow.

Scooper apparently has high moral ground to determine that he's getting what's coming.

You lost this discussion many posts ago.

Stop digging.

Sorry that I already posted what I did, so this is all you an TSmith are left with.

Do you hope he recovers?

Yes, of course.  Really strange question... But I guess I should consider the source.

Tennessee vs. Kentucky's response to COVID:

Really shows how beneficial it is (was) to do everything early.

According to responses, that tweet/graph is pure propaganda

CDC now recommending to skip normal screening (influenza test, respiratory viral panels, etc) for anyone suspected of covid. Move straight to covid test.

This is a BIG change from previous suggestion.

Probably because they finally have the Covid tests ready.  Great news.

Yeah. WTF was that all about?

Back on topic...I sure as hell hope the rumor of a nationwide 14-day lockdown (mentioned a page or two back) is true. Much overdue, but also much warranted.

Pray for the first responders, doctors and nurses, and the onslaught they are about to see...

Agreed, especially on the overdue portion.

Just heard from a cousin that lives in madison that her condo neighbors son is bailing on New York and on his way to live in madison until this is done.  Oh he happens to be a doctor wonder how much that will happen.

A doc leaving NYC just as the crap is hitting the fan?

Not a good look...

I think we'll have a so called lockdown and it'll last well past two weeks. Further, because of people saying "screw that" it may go to martial law. #LastDays

Did he also pass out at 31 Flavors too?

Yep. The longer authorities wait, the longer the lockdown will be.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...

I'll ask again..

Who's going to enforce the shutdown/shelter? If Florida beaches are any indication, this is all merely a suggestion. No penalties whatsoever for ignoring public health recs during a state of emergency

IMHO, it will probably take a team effort by the National Guard and state/local law enforcement. Just a shame that few authorities seem to have the political will to issue the order in the first place. It should be a national order, but POTUS seems to be waiting on his miracle, so it will likely take independent actions by the governors.

And the clock is ticking....

It'll get to that, but we're probably  a long ways from that. In other words, we're pussyfooting around and it's stupid af.

Although I find this story a little suspect (who did he sell his co-op to?) lots of morons left after 9/11 too.

Go ahead and doubt it no reason for my cousin to make it up

Wonder is there will be outrage from Hutch about our President's response about hearing that Mitt Romney is self isolating.

This country will drown without a leader. May already be too late.
