Dr should just lie … she has a fever, gimme a f’in test.

Course, then there’d be another excuse.

Maybe w/ this ‘mericans will wake up to the money skimming operation their “healthcare system” actually is.

How is this level of incompetence an accident?

a) we are surrounded by idiots, who work together as do links in a chain; their stupidity binds the honest efforts of others, so that the well-meaning are stuck in perpetual stand-off with apathy. OR

b) the apathy is passive-aggression in disguise, and the REAL truth is, THEY want US dead.

I told my husband he is to call and when the brat sees it is him calling, he will answer or at least call back. In theory.

Mary Christine

Why the downvote? Sheesh!

Hopefully he is fine and just being a brat. I haven’t talked to my other daughter in over 3 weeks although her dad spoke with her a few days ago. Her phone is off and I went by her house yesterday but she didn’t answer the door if she was there.

I had my aortic valve replaced at the end of August, full open heart surgery. My experiences with the medical industry both during and after are based on protocol, not reality. You have these symptoms and you go into a category and that is how you are treated. Other symptoms, another category, another treatment. So when you have symptoms that don’t fit a category they have absolutely no idea how to treat you. There seems to be very little thought, very little initiative. Thanks Barry and the insurance industry.

Why not go down to your local govt office and just start coughing at people and spitting on things? Since you’re not sick and you’re not a threat, they shouldn’t mind too much. Go find your county health director’s office and cough a few times in there, just to help out. That ought to get you some attention. Maybe go down to your local TV affiliate and cough on them, too.

I don’t know why we’re waiting on the CDC for anything. If I were in charge of a hospital or health region, I wouldn’t be waiting on them for help. Look at the Washington case- a hospital made up their own tests under the rubric of “research” and confirmed for themselves what they had. Fuck the govt. If you wait for them to help you, you’ll be dead.

This is probably happening all over the country but we won’t hear about it because it won’t occur to them to post about it on twatter or faceplant.
The nursing home in Kirkland, WA is a precursor of things to come. Trunews has a local newscast from Kirkland of interviews with relatives trying to get their loved ones tested and an interview with a lady whose mother died. Start at about 5 minutes and stick with it to about 25 minutes. At 18 minutes is the interview with the lady whose mother died. She is barely able to keep it together as she tells what happened. The family member had nothing but good things to say about the staff at the center and were thankful they were willing to keep taking care of their family. Problem is they their personal protection gear is inadequate and they are coming and going from home to work.

What pray tell would be an A+ government response? There isn’t one. Stopping airline travel and not importing sick people would be fine enough I suppose. It could buy time to understand the disease better, maybe have a proven vaccine, but to presume to stop it entirely, and for what cost in the attempt? This major concern is just a part of free health care for all. Muh deserves. In five years this disease will be mundane, and people will simply stay home as they do for the flu. Human life is not infinitely valuable, and drama is a woman’s control. The next Lady Di and Magic Johnson of coronavirus have yet to be crowned. Don’t doubt me.

well said. I have YET to hear ANYONE specify *exactly* what the govt should be doing different. Short of a total ban on travel for months (and maybe even that wont work), there is NOTHING they can actually do to stop it. And yes folks, they are indeed trying to put on a happy face, and lying and saying everything will be ok. Otherwise, due to the fear porn and mass-media hyping this, we will be overwhelmed by fear, terror, and chaos in a wave of destruction and anarchy that will be the end of our civilization.

Hardscrabble Farmer

You don’t have to ban travel, you simply have to insist that travelers remain in quarantine until medically cleared. Quarantines have been around for five hundred years because they work.

Of course that flies in the face of the post modern, globalist narrative that human beings are fungible, so they won’t do it.

Maybe they could have spent some of that 65 billion per year spent on CDC/HHS/NIH budgets and- oh I don’t know- had a plan. Seriously, where does all that money go? Nothing but a couple of hundred overpaid, obese, odd looking bureaucrats pushing papers and standing around at press conferences looking like doofuses with their heads up their asses.

There is only ONE way to actually stop this bug: shut down ALL travel. Literally, no one leaves their house for 3 months. That’s it. In the meantime, the INDUCED PANIC over this mediocre bug (yes, compared to the real baddies out there, this one isn’t that bad) will do FAR more damage and KILL way more people. Keeping positive and cheery is literally the only play (and the least destructive in the long run) the president has, and ever did have, after the Chinese let this thing go.

GoneWest

No politician is going to make the right decision in this circumstance.

Let’s assume a president decides to do the cautious thing and shuts down travel. That turns out to be the right decision and the virus peters out. In other words, he succeeds at stopping the virus. But the consequence is the economy crashes resulting in a recession or depression.

Now what do you think his political opponents would say. Of course, he crashed the economy. And gee that virus wasn’t much of a threat because see, not many people got it and it wasn’t a problem.

The alternative is to try straddle the line of trying to limit the virus but keep the economy out of recession. In other words, try to kick the can down the road and hope for a cessation of the virus, a vaccine, warmer weather helping or who knows what else.

Our society is dysfunctional. Maybe it has always this way. But if all decisions will be attacked and used against politically, this is what we get.

Frankly, we deserve it because we continue to put with this behavior.

Apathy breeds.

HF, the moment this bug landed, we were already screwed…. I wish I could do a better job of explaining this, bc it’s critical to understand the time-frame for this virus vs most others. This virus CANT be contained like most infections can. When you get infected with a virus, it begins replicating. Then, within X-number of days, you start exhaling, urinating, or releasing the virus. In most cases, this is about the time (or shortly thereafter) you also get sick and show symptoms. This is when the govt can quarantine you and trace back everyone you’ve been in recent contact and quarantine them as well. This works very well for most viruses, assuming you can find everyone.

But not with this one.

People can be infected and spreading it for a week or two, maybe more, before they will show symptoms or even test positive (no antibodies, no positive test). Because of this extremely large window, it is *impossible* to know who is infected and who isnt in time to contain it. To use your firemen analogy, we were literally at the point of the house being 90% gone the moment it landed here, likely back in December. At his point, the only play the fedgov has left is to mitigate the fallout and the panic. And being an election year, the media will keep whipping everyone into a frenzy, up until the point that riots burn their newsrooms to the ground, anyways….

I must disagree: Don’t lump incompetent individuals, cities, counties, and states in with the Feds and call it all “government.”

The “incompetency” narrative is getting old and has been used by pro-Pandemic pundits and columnists for a couple weeks now.

Right on! However, let’s go a bit farther.

“It’s 1860 politics today and the Trump-licans are both exposing the Democrat party midnight torch mobs AND keeping the $$$ gravy train going a little longer.”

Trump and other elitists may get credit for ‘exposing’, but conspiracy theorists saw this twenty years ago. They are acknowledging it, or more correctly the cattle are giving Trump credit because they are cowards to see it by themselves. What Trump and others are doing is validating what the Establishment is doing within the sphere of in-house discourse, which is not the sphere of violent retribution. It’s expansion of the envelop of business as usual. Cattle loves daddy.

I am not sure what stages I want to enumerate about challenges to the status quo, but I know there is this:
n. Ignore the opposition.
n+1. Ridicule the opposition.
n+?. Solutions are obvious.

My point is they ain’t exposing nothing. The brainwashing is that good that we don’t always see it. See what I mean? I like to run through my logic top to bottom to ferret out planted alien emotional meat hooks. Hello to all da wymin.
