Let's say Trump was right all along and this coronavirus is just a flu on steroids

[razorbackpicks]

Hussein did a great job on that one. Sat on his ass for 6 months and thousands of Americans died. Fake news totally ignored it.

Now liberals, who have done nothing except foam at mouth over "Russia! Russia! Russia!" and "impeachment impeachment impeachment" for the last 3 years, have their panties in a wad because Trump is a week or two late on "test kits" for the Chinese Wuhan virus. As if BernieCare wouldn't have been a worse disaster than Italy.

And they wonder why Trump got elected...

What the news doesn't want to tell you is Trump isn't late on the Kits. The CDC has so many hurdles and bottlenecks for testing that they have slowed any sort of ramped up testing until this past week. There were regulations removed or opened up that allowed innovational companies to come in and get their testing kits and labs on board. I think it was Thursday or Friday a Company that had a kit in the CDC hands for approval can give you an answer within 3 hours instead of the 2 days the first kits were. CDC would not give that company the credentials the last few weeks. That has nothing to do with Trump.

Hope this isn't the new norm.

Also the BS about the test kits......who cares. I could be wrong but it seems that a person that is tested negative could contract the virus directly after the test. It seems like a snapshot, not a preventative measure.

the testing kits do have value in targeting areas which house the high risk; the elderly, immuno-compromised. Long term care facilities, retirement homes, hospitals. Testing incoming people be it employees, visitors , all outsiders actually . This virus has a long incubation period and transmits much faster than the flu- ugly combo. Currently, long-term care facilities are screening incoming people for fever ( a symptom), the testing-kit would be a much better. With that said, the testing kit will have ots share of false positives/negatives.


the longer this lasts the greater the toll on society, going to have some supply chain issues as well. Major shortages maybe a comin' ,lets not forget China is a manufacturing superpower, they r only now starting to get back up.

A lot of ERs do not have the kits , they treat as flu/virus and send patients home. Those with more respiratory problems they admit.

Actually been doing for a while now before became full blown panic to many

Yup . Healthcare professionals in harm's way . They get it then ironically the healer becomes a vehicle of transmission

Hospitals are a cesspool for transfer of infection .why ?cause thats where the sick end up
