Those 15 minute tests are NOT in the hands of the states yet.... when are they going to be there, on the battlefield? Weeks? A month? And how many can state's have? Are they too, limited?You saying there is a vaccine?
it appears so....
so why incite the public into a panic, and literally stop the productive worker ant(s) from producing?Annual deaths from influenza are 20-60k. It would take 20 years to get to 1.7 million deaths.
As you can see, your claim that COVID isn’t going to kill as many as influenza is unsupported.
~S~
I think that is all Trump was trying to do, not scare the pants off people so that they refuse to go to work even though its relatively safe.
Cuomo had an upbeat presser today.
1. More people leaving the hospital each of the last 8-days.
2. Fewer people entering the hospitals the last few days. (a trend or a blip? we'll know next week)
Not to jinx us, but it looks from the last few days that the US curve is bending downward to a peak, like the EU appears to be doing. We'll know that in the next week or two.

I would say information like this is why the lockdowns must continue. We might, just might be starting to make some headway against this thing. Here is some other good information to report.
The percentage rate of increase in confirmed cases per day has been declining for a few days now:
March 24, 2020 - United States - 54,916
March 25, 2020 - United States - 68,489 - 24.7% increase
March 26, 2020 - United States - 85,594 - 24.97% increase
March 27, 2020 - United States - 104,256 - 21.8% increase
March 28, 2020 - United States - 123,776 - 18.7% increase
March 29, 2020 - United States - 142,224 - 14.9% increase
the trend seems to be going the right way. Trump's new date of 4/30 is looking possible.
June 30, 2020 is more realistic. You can't take any chances with this. Its so easy to transmit among people. A choir met for practice in Washington State on March 10, 2020. 60 people came in. They had hand sanitizer, no handshakes or hugs and practice social distancing keeping several feet between each person. No one who came were showing any symptoms.
45 out of the 60 choir members were infected with coronavirus. Of those 5 were hospitalized and two died.
This shows that despite hand cleaning and social distancing, just a couple of people not showing symptoms can infect a large group of people in a building.
No one should be allowed to go back to work at a non-essential service until they have tested NEGATIVE for coronavirus. Thanks to Trump, we don't have the capability to do that yet.
you had a good post going until you added the political bullshit. thanks to Trump and his team, we have more testing capacity than any other country in the world and we are doing more testing than any country in the world.
STFU with the politics and we can beat this thing.
Please stop lying about the testing. You are FOS

No I am not. We have tested more people than any other country and we DO now have tests that give the result in 5-15 minutes. Yes, we are only testing people who have symptoms. Why would you waste a test on someone who is completely healthy?
Is 100,000 killed from this considered a good job by the President' s team?
