How is telling the entire United States that we're going to run out of hospital beds and respirators telling them how to act responsibly?!

There’s also really no need to make dire predictions. All one needs to do is look what happened in Wuhan when the country blinked. It turned into a nightmare over there.

Lol It’s not so much what they eat (I’m sure bat could be delicious if properly prepared and seasoned) it’s about where the animal comes from. There’s no bat farms over there. These things are caught in the wild and brought to market. Makes the importance of the FDA and supply chain accountability all that more important.

spin_dry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just now, Highmark said: And thats where the main responsibility sits. Locally. The main problem has been getting test kits. The virus fills the throat, mouth, and sinuses with millions of pathogens within a few hours (as little as 2 hours) of being infected. That’s why people are infectious before symptoms occur. But that also makes it easier to detect and contain. This requires proper and abundant test kits. That’s how South Korea got it under control. If the feds learn anything, hopefully they will have a system where testing for any new pathogen will be quickly developed, produced, and shipped. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
