I’m confused.  Last week you called Wapo fake news.
Are you posting a fake article?

Not sure, need to read and get more details...but I will say, if people think the country is going to start "re-opening" it's going to involve testing, testing, testing...and contract tracing to quickly identify who an infected person might have come into contact with...and the more testing testing testing.
Alternative is we are right back to large shelter in place orders when outbreaks occur again. 

agreed. Unless Americans are willing to spend 2x, 3x, 4x, etc on goods. Even a good number of made in America products are really just assembled from parts made overseas.

On that note...Newsome outlines 6 goals to meet before restrictions are lifted

The administration highlighted six key indicators for altering his stay-home mandate, including the ability to closely monitor and track potential cases, prevent infection of high-risk people, prepare hospitals to handle surges, develop therapeutics to meet demand, ensure schools, businesses and child-care facilities can support social distancing, and develop guidelines for when to ask Californians to stay home again if necessary.

Let's be honest Phil...you were driving really slow and were kind of being a dick on purpose...what did you expect me....I mean...him to do?

Should be noted, that this was an op-ed. But went through some interesting background and details. Based on what was written, China really needs to come clean on the origins of the virus. Worse part is, it appears what they were researching, how to identify and combat potential virus pandemics may have lead to what they were trying to prevent.
Also should be noted, US embassy and science advisors were on record warning this exact scenario could occur back in 2018 and suggesting the US provide more support..
This definitely needs to be investigated more, from multiple angles.
 
In January 2018, the U.S. Embassy in Beijing took the unusual step of repeatedly sending U.S. science diplomats to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which had in 2015 become China’s first laboratory to achieve the highest level of international bioresearch safety (known as BSL-4). WIV issued a news release in English about the last of these visits, which occurred on March 27, 2018. The U.S. delegation was led by Jamison Fouss, the consul general in Wuhan, and Rick Switzer, the embassy’s counselor of environment, science, technology and health. Last week, WIV erased that statement from its website, though it remains archived on the Internet.
What the U.S. officials learned during their visits concerned them so much that they dispatched two diplomatic cables categorized as Sensitive But Unclassified back to Washington. The cables warned about safety and management weaknesses at the WIV lab and proposed more attention and help. The first cable, which I obtained, also warns that the lab’s work on bat coronaviruses and their potential human transmission represented a risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.
“During interactions with scientists at the WIV laboratory, they noted the new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory,” states the Jan. 19, 2018, cable, which was drafted by two officials from the embassy’s environment, science and health sections who met with the WIV scientists. (The State Department declined to comment on this and other details of the story.)
The Chinese researchers at WIV were receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and other U.S. organizations, but the Chinese requested additional help. The cables argued that the United States should give the Wuhan lab further support, mainly because its research on bat coronaviruses was important but also dangerous.
As the cable noted, the U.S. visitors met with Shi Zhengli, the head of the research project, who had been publishing studies related to bat coronaviruses for many years. In November 2017, just before the U.S. officials’ visit, Shi’s team had published research showing that horseshoe bats they had collected from a cave in Yunnan province were very likely from the same bat population that spawned the SARS coronavirus in 2003.
“Most importantly,” the cable states, “the researchers also showed that various SARS-like coronaviruses can interact with ACE2, the human receptor identified for SARS-coronavirus. This finding strongly suggests that SARS-like coronaviruses from bats can be transmitted to humans to cause SARS-like diseases. From a public health perspective, this makes the continued surveillance of SARS-like coronaviruses in bats and study of the animal-human interface critical to future emerging coronavirus outbreak prediction and prevention.”
The research was designed to prevent the next SARS-like pandemic by anticipating how it might emerge. But even in 2015, other scientists questioned whether Shi’s team was taking unnecessary risks. In October 2014, the U.S. government had imposed a moratorium on funding of any research that makes a virus more deadly or contagious, known as “gain-of-function” experiments.

Not sure, need to read and get more details...but I will say, if people think the country is going to start "re-opening" it's going to involve testing, testing, testing...and contract tracing to quickly identify who an infected person might have come into contact with...and the more testing testing testing.

He loves the dad on daughter action in Genesis.

Why did Bill Gates do this ?

That's tough. One is a clownish douche with terrible hair. The other is Bryce Harper.

This is a really strange post. Mike Trout is humble, down to Earth, and modest. Trump is a vile narcissist. He's the MLB personality equivalent of Barry Bonds, Bryce Harper, and Pete Rose's threesome love child.

Lol @Fox News runner. "Trump wants to keep the media honest." Because we all know one thing Trump is known for is honesty.

I think q lot of it depends on where youre at. A cop in Chicago is going to have a different take than a cop in Des Moise. Its also going to depend on the hospital type. (Different hospitals specialise in different functions).
But I dont think theres any sensationalism going on in NYC. And i think it should be everyones goal to keep NYC the outlier rather than the norm.
 

I assume you watched the video because the primary piece here is a video.
Or do you think that video is fake... like the moon landing?

South Korea and the US reported their first case on the same day.

“Scofflaw” is a tragically underutilized word.
 

Thoughts, Tdawg?

You won today...well done

You are quarantined so you got the time 

No.  It came from Bill Gates, apparently.
