Hi Al, thank you for posting that. Yes I think the "rules don't apply to me" and stupidity will be what does us in - if we're done in. I mean last week, the key message of three of the daily briefing was "wash your hands and if you think you're sick - stay away from people". Proof that Americans can be dumber than 6 year olds.
Why is South Korea better off than we are - cuz they knew the drill immediately and obeyed the stay at home for 2 weeks rules.
As for the rest of us - well it didnt help that China sent its sick people everywhere - like Italy and Iran - did it ?
Trump didnt help by downplaying COVID-19 by repeatedly focusing on the symptoms - not how quickly so many people will be affected by it.
But even if the CDC and FDA hadnt f'ed up the testing, all they would have discovered is that people from China and retirees returning from Italy and cruises had brought back COVID-19 to all 50 states AT THE SAME TIME.
Now we're stuck with hoping the number of seriously ill people dont overwhelm our hospital system. Just great.
So why is BREW trading below it's purchase price ?
Hi arizona1, I'm sure you know that when COVID-19 was raping China and east asia in January, this was not a story covered at all by your media sources, except maybe down on the ticker that runs below the gossiping talking heads. Of course it was a story every morning on CNBC, so I was aware of it since January.
I heard when Trump ran out of a burning house carrying a baby and a puppy, a reporter asked him if he's taking responsibility for setting the house on fire.
Hi arizona1, this is not about Trump. This is about the media insisting on telling lies that have been debunked.
Which sadly you and millions like you insist on believing. Grasping at straws like 9/11 conspiracy believers.
Again, the CDC admitted they thought they had things under control until the 200 test kits were found to be defective. And everything else, including Trump's very very poor attempts to prevent panic, occurred after that.
lol mother jones. Thanks !
Soooooo you could just as easily posted an article on all the things that have been done in past 2 weeks to increase testing and slow down the spread of COVID-19.
But that would interfere with the left wing narrative.
Hey - in 46 short months - it'll all be over !
Hi arizona1 - See there you go. I'm not defending Trump.
I just havent lost my mind and feel compelled to blame him even though the article I posted plus the CDC saying the same thing multiple times. Forgive me but I process facts - not mindless middle school gossip.
Have you discussed your feelings about the faked moon landings with anyone ?
I'm actually surprised he didnt throw the CDC and FDA under the bus. That's usually what he does.
And why cant you admit the cdc screwed up ?
what part of "ask the cdc" did you not understand. Jeeez.
Stop asking me.
Hi arizona1, why dont you focus on all the initiatives being undertaken by the administration and congress instead of dwelling on the middle school gossip aspects of this situation.
Maybe talk your issues out with a professional ? like I've suggested before ?
Hi arizona1, yes its true, TrumpHateVirus is almost as bad as COVID-19.
First - March 6 was 8 days ago. We all know that thanks to the 200 contaminated test kits, the CDC and FDA were playing catchup.
As for the out of context no responsibility statement - yeah, no responsibility for the 200 contaminated test kits. But you must think he found out where they were and spat on them "to keep the numbers low".
Good thinking.
I heard that a month ago, Trump found out where the 1st 200 test kits were being stored, went there and spat in them !
I think the Huff post instead should have reported on what Dr. Fauci said, which better explains why the governments response was delayed - weeks before it got to the white house.
the CDC and FDA told Chu and her colleagues to stop testing, then partially relented, and the lab found several more cases. On Monday night, they were ordered to stop testing again.
The short answer - the regulations (laws) that are in place - that are now being over ridden with the help of all the executive orders that have occurred since then.

Hi mr40, just believe that King County is still testing people.
https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/news/2020/March/9-covid-case-updates.aspx
Hi mr40, when you post a like from a local seattle tv station or newspaper or from evergreen health's website let me know. I search for what you posted and still cant find anything. All you've posted is stuff from questionable sites repeating from other questionable sites.
I can understand that they no longer need to test people at their kirkland facility since everyone there probably has it.
But the entire country is testing people like crazy, 15000+ people per day now.
And your original post claimed testing at ALL seattle hospitals have stopped which of course was too ridiculous to believe.
Hi arizona1, we've covered these things repeatedly.
Why won't the CDC let Cuomo use his kits? He's got thousands.
I just went over this. So have others. And to clairify things, that was one lab, but thanks to the media they want you to thing it's all labs in the entire state of New York. Cleverishly evil, huh ?
Hi mr4o, thanks, I agree. It just kills me that certain media outlets insist on telling a different story.
Why was no other country overwhelmed?
We call that statement "The Big Lie"
South Korea, Iran, Italy, Spain, France are all overwhelmed by this.
And you are a broken record - we were 100% prepared - preparing since December. But when the test kits you thought would work didnt - well that's a problem right.
So just accept that we were prepared but didnt not expect the first batch of test kits to be contaminated.
Hi arizona1, the tweet did not address my questions.
yes arizona1, the manufacturer of the original 200 kits screwed up. And in less than a week when the S hit the fan, our government recovered.
Why are they stopping him?
Interesting choice of words. First, all state labs were certified as of yesterdays press conference.
Second, did it not occur to you the the CDC was overwhelmed with requests to process ? Maybe the reason was simply too many requests to process all at once.
Hi arizona1, first, you should know by now not to get worked up by what someone puts on twitter.
When did this person return ? Was it before Italy was on the "test for corona" list ?
Did she get tested for the regular flu like I did ? How come that's not mentioned ?
Without answers to the questions, its no different than Trump-speak.
You see -- I'm just as good as the media as making something you think is very clear cut into something that's filled with questions. Except I get paid was more than most journalists - cuz I can do everything they can do and more.
Hi Arizona1, the "kits" are capable of processing hundreds of tests.
So in fact they thought they had the ability to test 100,000 - 200,000 from the get go.
Hi Arizona1, my question is - if she had flu-like symptoms - did she need a test or the governments permission to stay the F away from everyone for a few days ?
Just asking.
I mean when I had the flu I definitely stayed away from everyone for the rest of the week.
Hi Arizona1, What part of "the 200 test kits that were ready in January turned out to be contaminated" do you not understand ? Do you think Trump tracked them down and spat on them ?
I know your and the media's TDS compels you to blame Trump for everything, but dont worry, 46 short months from now, you'll be able to blame someone else.
He should have been preparing.
Hi Arizona1, the CDC and other health organizations responsible for dealing with virus outbreaks started preparing for this in Dec and Jan. This is common knowledge. I even posted the interview from NPR about the hospitals in Seattle being ready.
The glitch came when the 200 test kits were discovered to be contaminated.
I dont think Trump had anything to do with the contaminated kits. Do you ?
I've looked all over the https://www.evergreenhealth.com/ site and cant find it.
So until I see a link I can click on and see it, I wont believe it.
Hi Arizona1 we got better within 1 - 2 weeks. Thanks.
Hi arizona1, Are you saying the career CDC and FDA health experts are incompetent ?
Let's place the blame where it belongs:
1. The cruise industry
2. The entity that produced the original 200 contaminated kits.
everything that followed has been a crisis response which by its very nature tends to be chaotic.
We tried to tell you! But you didn't listen!
I heard that Trump personally went to China, bit the heads off of some bats, force fed them to some snakes, and served "General Trump's Surprise" to some unsuspecting Chinese in Wuhan.
Just so the angry left could blame him for this. I'm sure the people of South Korea and Italy blame him too.
Hi arizona1, maybe by time the person went to the ER. so many resources had been diverted to the West Coast to deal with the 200 test kits that didnt work.
On Dec 26th I went to an emergency clinic cuz I knew I had the flu. The PA (or Dr) did the flu swab test on me and it came back negative. She said the accuracy of the test was about 50% but my 102 temp plus other symptoms made it clear I was sick. The same thing happened to my son the day before.
So even with the basic well understood flu, our healthcare system needs a lot of improvement.
But but but ... there's no sign of it on the evergreen hospital website. In fact, what what I could tell, just the opposite.
Hi mr40, my point is that if it's just from internet nonsense posts, it's probably not true.
If you want to fill your head with false information that's up to you.
Hi arizona1, what important is that they have plenty of tests. All that they asked for. Everything else is irelevant.
Hi arizona1, sooooo much misreprented information by the media and whomever it's disgraceful.
So what you posted you make the casual reader assume that NY is unable to conduct ANY testing. Which is a lie. This NYT story is much better. It'll tell you there
are a few labs awaiting authorization from the cdc which Cuomo mentioned. But it'll also tell you that the CDC provided NYC WITH ALL THE TESTS THAT NYC ASKED FOR (23000).
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/08/nyregion/coronavirus-newyork.html
Hi mr40 I went to the evergreenhealth website you posted and there's no mention of it.
https://www.evergreenhealth.com/coronavirus
Plus the npr article also refutes what you posted.
A good rule is if you can't find a story like this on a local TV stations website, it's probably not true.
Hi Ayock, CDC said they started developing their tests as sooner as they got the genomic markers in January. They had 200 test kits ready and waiting for the outbreak. Unfortunately the test kits were contaminated and set the CDC back 2 weeks.
The test numbers you see and the media passes around are only for the CDC. State and local goverments have done thousands more. Seattle said they were ready and able to perform 100 tests per day on day 1. And will be able to do several thousand per day this week.
Hope this helps.

I couldn't find this story anywhere else and I suspect it isn't true.
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/05/812679331/when-coronavirus-struck-seattle-this-lab-was-ready-to-start-testing
Hi Arizona1, looking for humor always beats looking to be outraged.
I have no clue why you posted that to me Ayock.
Is this guy one of your financial gurus?
Not when he says crazy shit like that.
I bet Trump wishes he had thought of it first !!
