Biotech Values

Thanks for sharing biocqr, what a shit show. It sure as hell doesn't inspire confidence. I guess that is what happens when you recklessly disband the CDC and NSC command and control structure for pandemic disease monitoring and response as tRUMP did. Any word on when you might get tested?

Here is a nice article from the NY Times explaining how botched the testing rollout and testing criteria has been. The coronavirus is much more widespread and prevalent in the US population than we know right now. The fact that confirmed cases are spread across the country likely means the horse has left the barn and we are going to have to try and weather the storm.

Here is another web site that shows how many people have been tested in various countries. South Korea had tested over 100,000 people, Italy over 20,000 bu the US had tested less than 500 people. Anybody who claims that the number of COVID-19 cases in the US are low should be told that is total bull crap because we have no idea as to the actual number. The listed number of just over 100 is almost certainly at least one order of magnitude too low. For some reason, on March 2nd, the CDC stopped reporting the number of patients tested in the US. That is bizarre and it makes me suspect tRUMP or someone in his administration ordered that to try and not make tRUMP look bad. That is how low we have sunk.
