I think Washington and New York states have moved around that. I am not anti - FDA. It is an important agency, but not the best controlling tool for the situation. That bureaucracy doesn't exactly float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.Other countries are testing patients for coronavirus by the tens of thousands. Why the U.S. is so far behind
South Korean officials are setting up "drive-thru" coronavirus screening facilities. Manufacturers in China have the capacity to distribute more than 1.5 million tests a week. The countries, alongside Italy and the U.K., are testing tens of thousands of people for the coronavirus, in many cases processing thousands of samples a day.
In the U.S., meanwhile, inadequate coronavirus testing has become a full-blown scandal. As U.S. cases spike, the Department of Health and Human Services has launched an investigation into defective testing kits that delayed lab results by several days, and experts are worried that a slow federal response may have given the virus more time to spread.

The coronavirus's emergence in Asia in December and January gave the U.S. weeks to prepare, but even in the early stages, diagnostic testing hit snags.
The CDC, a U.S. federal agency, opted to develop its own test kit rather than use the existing one recommended by the World Health Organization; it is not yet clear why. Early on, CDC sent 200 of its test kits to state labs across the country (each kit can test 700 to 800 samples), but in mid-February, the agency announced that some of the kits were flawed, and asked labs to send samples to the CDC's central lab in Atlanta to be tested, a move that delayed results by several days.
More than likely its due to the same FDA type issues we have where drugs used overseas never get approved here because US regs are far stricter.
Things like that help us in the long term, but react poorly to fast moving conditions like a pandemic.
US mftrers and the FDA have no role in other countries testing, which we failed to produce. and there are no vaccines or drugs ANYWHERE
The FDA says what tests we can use in THIS COUNTRY. It says what procedure is used before those tests can be used.
And the FDA process is notoriously slow because that's how most of the country wants it, usually.
Sooooo...all you have is "B-b-b-b-b-b-but-Obama!"?
Clearly O'bama created this virus and timed it to undermine Rump. It's what he's been working on with his magic Telepromter since leaving office when he got done tappppppppping Rump's wires. Just like he engineered the whole 2008 economy collapse with his time machine retroactively to set up his own election.
No, it wasn't O's fault nor is it trumps fault. Was it wilsons fault that 675000 died here in the US with the spanish flu?
wwwwhhhhhooooooooooooooooooossssssshhhhhhhhhhhh
My point exactly. I was agreeing with you. Well, looks like my point went down with the hindenburg.
Oh that's right, O'bama torched the Hindenburg too.
Not sure how you were "agreeing with me" --- my point was not how O'bama dealt with this or that; it was to ridicule those on this board who blamed him retroactively for events that had already happened before he took office.

Trump made a big deal crowing about that.
Which has nothing to do with a manufacturing defect - according to the link you previously posted.
Well actually it is because there's no vaccine, but as usual young man, thanks for your partisan attempt to play.Covid-19 is another "pandemic" that is no more virulent than the flu.
Covid-19 is another "pandemic" that is no more virulent than the flu.
I am seriously interested in people's opinion about quarantining whole cities and towns. Please respond to that question. Thank you.

They definitely have their third arm, the media, pumping it out to the masses.
I hear people grumbling that Trump is not being aggressive enough to fight this plague. So I was wondering just exactly what it is they believe he should be doing.
Yes, it was a colossal fuckup for Trump to disband the White House pandemic unit. Okay.
But what about going forward? What is he not doing that he should be doing?
Also, would you be okay with Trump forcing whole cities and towns into quarantine the way other countries are doing? I am very interested in hearing answers to this particular question.

The OP probably doesn't remember the H1N1 "swine flu" in 2009 when Obama was in the WH.
There is another thread with a description of that cluster-fuck of a response.
Go read that thread and then come back to this bullshit thread.

No, the hindenburg crashed because a spark ignited the hydrogen.

I just had to look in to see what kind of brainless twat would create another bogus poll and thread under the guise of addressing a serious topic while really just using it as an opening to rant about Trump some more with the usual faux issues.

O'bama sent that spark with his telepromter. Again, using the Magic Negro® time machine. It was one of his first experiments, right after blowing up the Maine.

Not the "poll" thread, this one:
