The P&R Plague Thread (Covid-19)

Ok researched it back, it is a bit misreported. So you can't really get a margin of error until you have final results which this is fluid so it will be some time to clarify that. That said the test kits had a 70% sensitivity rate so that leads to a conclusion that up to 30% could be positive and show negative.


You said American testing was delayed because they were using flawed tests from Europe, which is why the CDC decided to make their own tests. 

This is not the case, correct?

Europe had a 30% error rate so the CDC said screw off and we are making our own. Should have 4million tests made in the coming days and double that heading into next week

Reading stuff like that, it really gives you an idea where some of the folks responding to this thread are getting their ideas.
For sure. But the primary source is old orange face himself - he is the tail wagging the dog.  Fox, Hannity, Rush are all invested in him and his reelection.  Their blind, biased support has made any trump fail a reflection on them.  There is a benefit to independent thought and opinion - something they know not of.

President Donald Trump reiterated his reassurances amid the global coronavirus pandemic, saying he expects markets will recover from their steep losses, according to a Bloomberg report Thursday.

It’s going to all bounce back and it’s going to bounce back very big,” Trump said at the White House Thursday during a meeting with Ireland’s Minister Leo Varadkar, Bloomberg reported.

Read into it as you wish.  My recollection wasn't perfect and I amended it. I think using a faulty test could be just as harmful,

Point being you would find fault regardless of how this were handled.  Yet I have yet to see a bolded and font size increased rant about China allowing this to become a global pandemic.

Why do you need such a post about China? Why does the post about Trump offend you so much?

Remember that there's a presumptive test, which isn't as accurate but can be done much more quickly. The only accurate test I'm aware of (and I'm no expert) is a CT scan of the lungs.

If only CT were cheap.  Sometimes I wish I were Canadian.

Why wouldn't we discuss Trump's failures in reacting to this pandemic?


Why get so triggered by a supporting cast member but not by the source?

I'm not usually one to argue with someone who lives and dies by right wing talking points. I learned long ago that it is useless. What I am going to do is share this message. China has done everything it can to contain the virus. Watch any zombie movie/ show, no matter how well you contain something a carrier always gets through. We should have had a secondary line of protection at our ports of entry. This article outlines exactly how someone who was a carrier got into our country, even person 1 here in Nebraska. I know you won't read it because it doesn't fit your narrative and facts don't matter to folks like you, but this will be my one and only attempt to helping you see the failures of the Trump administration in mitigating this outbreak for US citizens. Pretending like the pandemic wasn't happening, wasn't going to hit us, and then that it was all under control instead of testing ill people at the point of entry is why we are now dealing with it and having our lives so thoroughly disrupted now. All that security and safety at Camp Ashland was undone by improper training, handling, and messaging. - I'm out. 

He said "the alarm bells" sounded when he saw how the outbreak was being addressed at San Francisco International Airport.

"They literally had no idea what they were doing," he said, adding that one airport official even admitted that since things had escalated so quickly they were in disarray.

As passengers got off the plane, no one was at the gate to recording their temperatures, he said. (One of the symptoms of the disease is a fever, though a few cases are asymptomatic.)
