Scott Gottlieb, FDA Commissioner 2017-2019 ... "Part of the problem is that our pandemic playbook always envisioned that a pandemic would be caused by influenza. And in the setting of influenza, having a diagnostic test widely deployed isn't as important for one reason — because the incubation period for flu is shorter. Patients come into contact with flu and get sick in a much shorter period of time, and they're usually not contagious until they're infectious. So diagnosing people when they're asymptomatic and carrying the infection isn't as important in the setting of controlling a flu as it is for a coronavirus."
Wonder what Scott thinks of all the chickens and eggs that are slated to be destroyed? Get ready! Better stand up while you can. We got an election coming.
