Superbug expert calls lack of coronavirus tests a 'national scandal'

[Nostra]

Is this the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, or is someone doing their best to scare the poop out of us?

"Just the facts, ma'am."

"The U.S. has just 10% of the required respirator masks that would be needed for medical professionals if the COVID-19 outbreak erupts into a “full-blown” pandemic in America."

You are repeating yourself, moron.

The U.S. has just 10% of the required respirator masks that would be needed for medical professionals if the COVID-19 outbreak erupts into a “full-blown” pandemic in America.

Health and Human Services official Dr. Robert Kadlec estimates the country would need roughly 3.5 billion of medical-grade N95 masks, which filter out about 95% of all liquid or airborne particles.


“We have about 35 million,” Kadlec, assistant secretary for preparedness and response of HHS, said before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on Tuesday. “Ten percent, and we’re actively working on that.”

The comment came minutes after World Health Organization officials called on medical supply manufacturers to “urgently increase production” to meet the global demand that is needed to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak rapidly spreading across the world.

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

"They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can't get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!" he continued.

Washing your hands, staying home when sick and other "everyday preventive actions" are the best protections, Adams said. He urged people to get a flu shot, as fewer flu patients means more resources to fight the coronavirus.

thanks for repeating my post.

McCarthy, who practices at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, expects the number of cases in the U.S. to increase quickly in the next couple of weeks, but he said hospitals are "hamstrung" because they don't have access to the diagnostic test kits they need. In contrast, he said, other countries are making it look easy.

"They are testing 10,000 a day in some countries, and we can't get this off the ground," McCarthy said. Tim O'Donnell

So why didn’t the Hussein fix the CDC after he bungled the H1N1 virus response which killed over 12,000 Americans in 2009-2010?

Funny how the Hussein waited until 1,000 Americans were dead before declaring an emergency. Then there was the faulty testing by the CDC.

President Trump inherited the Hussein’s CDC.

So, why didn’t your beloved Hussein fix the CDC and have it be ready for another pandemic flu?

I’m sure ol Berg could bump dozens of threads whining and crying about how Barry Hussein bungled the H1N1 pandemic.

I love how you ignored the link I provided.

I didn't ignore it. It's just immaterial to the problem, and not accurate.

I only provide the facts.

1. There is a shortage of N-95 masks and would be even if no one in the general public (non-medical personnel) were buying them. Why? Lack of preparation by the government.

2. If the N-95 masks filter out 95% of airborne particles................... "Health and Human Services official Dr. Robert Kadlec estimates the country would need roughly 3.5 billion of medical-grade N95 masks, which filter out about 95% of all liquid or airborne particles..............how is wearing one not helpful?

so the surgeon general's warning on cigarettes is nothing. gotcha. Folks, the stupid in this leftist is genuine.

I read that the virus is not airborne. It is the liquid thing and unless you are standing close enough to get sprayed in the face with someone's sneeze or productive cough (okay, I'm getting ready to gag) you are not likely to get it that way. You ARE likely to get it by picking it up from a surface such as door knobs, money--anything really--on your hands and then putting those hands on your face--on your lips, eyes, nose.
THAT's how people are going to get it unless they are a doctor or nurse caring for sick patients.

How are defective test kits Trump’s fault?

Budget and personnel cuts.

but he didn't do that, so factually you're wrong. go fking figure. It's now been pointed out on every news station that error. and yet here you are pushing the fake news story. BTW, the kits came from China. China had them. you know why China had them? they had the virus. derp

But he did do that. It's not a fake news story.

Pence Shook Hands With Cadets Just Days Before One Student Was Quarantined
Pence Shook Hands With Cadets Just Days Before One Student Was Quarantined

Vice President Mike Pence shook hands with Sarasota Military Academy cadets in Florida several days before one of their classmates was quarantined due to potential contact with COVID-19. The now-quarantined student was not at the event.

The academy announced via Facebook on Monday that the cadet and his mother had been quarantined “as a precautionary measure” after the mother, who works at Sarasota Doctors Hospital, made contact with one of the two patients in Florida who have tested positive for the coronavirus.

The academy reported that both the student and his mother “currently are not showing any symptoms and are in good health and spirits.”

On the previous Friday, Pence had visited the academy and shook hands with the senior cadets.
