Well sadly I'm sure for the small group that is the liberal echo chamber here, it isn't true-

Sorry your narrative is ruined.

Go back and watch the press conference yesterday. Trump said he ordered Pence to not call the Michigan gov. If you don't wanna believe your eyes and ears, then nevermind.

Thanks. Glad resources are making it to where they're needed. That's all that really matters

No shock that he says one thing and does the other.  It's just unfortunate that he feels the need to take those shots.  Just handle it.  No commentary is necessary.  It does not to help the situation.

I fear we are going to see a larger death-rate in the US than China, hopefully not as bad as Spain and Italy.

The reason, we can't handle the sick. One of the reasons China was able to both mitigate the spread and limit the death rates, is that they tested widely, and isolated the sick within the medical care system (right away). That allowed them to monitor their condition, and limit spread.

In Italy and Spain, they can't do that, and are instead sending people to isolate at home. This doesn't allow them to monitor their conditions, so when the virus ramps up, they don't have time to treat it, and it continues community spread.

Germany, where things have been comparatively better, has more nurses per capita than any of the nations, so they can care for and monitor patients right away. That so far has led to a lower mortality rate, despite them having one of the highest rates of smoking in the world.

Right now, we are leaning toward the Italy/Spain model, but with more testing. Sadly, that means the likely outcome is a higher mortality rate, just not as bad as Italy/Spain, because we are testing more.

We will never really know the truth of #infected and deaths.  If you think China is going to be forthright with this.... ask them where they get all those extra kidneys and livers from  not the the Muslim detention camps of (political) prisoners, nooo don't look over here.

I live in Racine. Still no tests available - even for those with symptoms.


This has been bungled from Day 1.

Really?  Oh geez you just might have to drive a couple of miles up the road to pleasant prairie.  What the hell did you expect?  Door to door testing ?

Why do that when it's more fun to just complain about everything OMB is doing wrong?

Sorry if this has been posted, but I didn't see it.

Trump considering "quarantine" of NY/NJ/Conn area.

https://nypost.com/2020/03/28/trump-says-hes-new-eyeing-coronavirus-quarantine-for-nyc-area/

No details, but what - maybe shutting down all points of entry/exit? Wow.

Wall.

And Pennsylvania will pay for it.

My wife heard from our friend who is an X-ray tech at Yale New Haven Hospital. They are completely out of masks in the hospital and disenfectant wipes.  Sterilizing masks every night and reudsing the next day.

There were hospitals in NYC that ran out entirely, in part because people broke into storage closets and stole them.

Doctors and nurses were having to work without masks. My friend, a doctor, may now be infected in NY, because of a lack of PPE.

It's not a couple of miles, but I think the point is that medical providers are doing what they can to erect these things quickly.

To be fair, part of how China eradicated this was doing exactly that, mandatory door to door testing.

I think you are wrong. 4never and Ziggy will tell you everything is available.

Exactly.

But these guys are clueless. If I start getting symptoms, I cannot get a test in the Racine - Kenosha area.

[injuryBug]

In sheboygan area you need to have bad symptoms that are worsening before they advise you to call the hotline to get to a testing center.

It's all in Pleasant Prairie.  Testing supplies for the whole country.  This is Jockey's big chance to be come an American Hero, a Real American Hero in the mold of John Wayne, Superman or The Rock.  Alas, the trek from Racine to Pleasant Prairie proved to be too daunting of a task for our erstwhile hero, and Super Jockey was swept into the dustbin of history, consigned to spend eternity in his childhood basement, as Ma and Pa shelter in place on the main level of the would be lair.

Clueless??  Racine/kenosha area?  Could someone please walk jock thru google maps and plug in pleasant prairie...it's 17 miles from Racine!  Could probably walk there if he had to save his carbon foot print

What part of that is clueless?  Just trying to help

For the whole country? 350 million sitting in se Wisconsin? And you wonder why people dismiss your idiocy.

yes, the whole country.  And super jockey is the hero we need. 

look up, pal, that sarcasm just went straight over your head.

Sorry if I didn't catch it. Thought you were part of the group that believes anyone that wants to get tested can.
I can attest that is a flat out lie.

That is true. Our governor doesn't believe in statewide bans on almost anything.

[Jockey]

First off, there is no testing in Pleasant Prairie after tomorrow - it is at the old KMH in downtown Kenosha.

Second, if I (or anyone else) have symptoms, I cannot get a test.

Third, to get a test, you have to be extremely ill. So, no, not everyone can get a test.

Fourth, lying to protect Deat Leader is never a good idea. You can say that everyone can get tested, but almost everyone on this board knows it is false.

Trump threatens to quarantine NewYork and several other states.  Cuomo calls it Anti-American and Anti-Social, threatens legal action against the Feds.  So much for those demanding a federal quarantine when states threaten to sue, even those most in need of that action.
