  1. I think the real concern was we weren't allowed in (CDC) and what was coming out of China and the WHO up until late January was it wasn't transferable person to person only animal to person. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0130-coronavirus-spread.html Recognizing early on that the 2019-nCoV could potentially spread between people, CDC has been working closely with state and local partners to identify close contacts of confirmed 2019-nCoV cases. Public health officials identified this Illinois resident through contact tracing. Both patients are in stable condition. “Given what we’ve seen in China and other countries with the novel coronavirus, CDC experts have expected some person-to-person spread in the US,” said CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D. “We understand that this may be concerning, but based on what we know now, we still believe the immediate risk to the American public is low.” What exactly was "criminal" and what should have been done different?
  2. Already posted it a number of times but here you go. Also check out my link to the CDC saying the same basic thing on Jan 30th. I've listened to the interview. https://radio.foxnews.com/2020/03/27/cdc-director-reacts-to-resurfaced-tape-of-dr-anthony-fauci-downplaying-virus-threat/ CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield called in to the Brian Kilmeade Show to discuss the nation's progress in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Among the topics discussed was unearthed audio of White House Coronavirus Task Force member and NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci from January 26th assuring Americans that the coronavirus is nothing to worry about. "The American people should not be worried or frightened by this. It's a very, very low risk to the United States," Dr. Fauci said on The CATS Roundtable. "It isn't something that the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about." Director Redfield agreed with Dr. Fauci's assessment, saying that at that time in January the information coming out of China suggested "they were pretty certain that this was not transmitted human to human." "Obviously that became corrected as they saw in the first three, four weeks in January that human to human spread was not only occurring it's actually, as I said, more infectious and I think that led to the situation that we're in today. I think no one could have predicted how transmissible, how infectious this virus really is," he added.
  3. My neighbor has some nasty ones between his and mine. Got it a few times. Brought me to my knees once.....could feel it go straight to my heart. Not a fan.....not a fan at all.
  4. Didn't mean it was a double post.....just good information.
  5. There is no law stating they must debate. If COVID-19 is still going then he would have the perfect excuse. He could also likely state something to the extent that he won't debate someone so untruthful or racist and give Trump the attention. He can't put a coherent sentence together....how can he debate someone one on one.
  6. I wouldn't be surprised if the Biden camp refuses to debate. It would be a tough call which hurts him more.....looking like a demented fool or a coward. I'd say he's better off looking like a coward.
  7. Good movie. Cruz and Diaz played their roles well.
  8. Posted something on this and patients lying in the prone position a few weeks ago.
  9. I wish I had your passion, Ray... Misdirected though it might be, it is still a passion. Extra credit if you get the movie without googling.
  10. CDC did no official news releases on Covid-19 in the months of Feb and March after Feb 6th. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/archives.html
  11. I listen to them all and take bits and pieces from each of them. None of them are all correct or all incorrect.
  12. Yep. Considering the CDC was not let into China and getting all their information from the WHO. Jan. 30th 2020 https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/p0130-coronavirus-spread.html The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today confirmed that the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has spread between two people in the United States, representing the first instance of person-to-person spread with this new virus here. Previously, all confirmed U.S. cases had been associated with travel to Wuhan, China, where an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by this novel coronavirus has been ongoing since December 2019. However, this latest 2019-nCoV patient has no history of travel to Wuhan, but shared a household with the patient diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection on January 21, 2020. Recognizing early on that the 2019-nCoV could potentially spread between people, CDC has been working closely with state and local partners to identify close contacts of confirmed 2019-nCoV cases. Public health officials identified this Illinois resident through contact tracing. Both patients are in stable condition. “Given what we’ve seen in China and other countries with the novel coronavirus, CDC experts have expected some person-to-person spread in the US,” said CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D. “We understand that this may be concerning, but based on what we know now, we still believe the immediate risk to the American public is low.”
  13. Yes he was so correct on the face masks and telling American's on Jan 26th that the coronavirus posed no threat to America.
  14. Completely missed my point. Fuck off commie.
  15. Much slower growth than ours however other factors play a role. For example it has the oldest population in the world when counting % of population over 65. Also has a extremely low birth rate.
  16. Why hasn't Japan collapsed yet? They are over 250% debt to GDP. Have been for some time. Nobody saying this is good however claims that the world is on a brink of economic collapse is simply not correct.
  17. Yep....enough positive evidence to proceed full speed ahead with it in my book.
  18. Fact is if when Trump issued the travel ban in late Jan if he also ordered or suggested complete self quarantine of non essential services the economy would have taken the same initial hit and while it likely would have limited the spread and deaths the same people bitching about Trump not taking it serious would have been bitching about him ruining the economy for low numbers of infections and fatalities. Guaranteed.
