Telling the truth shouldn't require an act of bravery.

[berg80]

When Dr. Anthony Fauci went to the Hill and told Congress.................."The system is not really geared to what we need right now," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a House hearing about coronavirus test kits in the United States, which were initially dogged by technical glitches. "That is a failing. Let's admit it."...................it took courage. But it shouldn't have.

When those 17 witnesses went to the Hill to tell what they knew about the illegal scheme to extort Ukraine for the political benefit of the prez, and in so doing defied the order by the Obstructionist-in-Chief to stonewall the House inquiry, they were all being courageous. They put the country's need to know the truth over their own personal and professional interests............knowing retribution from President Petulance was coming......and for many of them it did.

At times simple acts of bravery are not as well publicized. They may be expressed by giving an anonymous interview with a member of the media about what is really going on inside the WH. Or refusing to participate in the corrupt, criminal, incompetent acts of this admin by ignoring instructions or resigning your position.

We should all be thankful these selfless people stepped up to do their part by rejecting the lies, the deceit, the attempts to keep the public from learning the truth or actively misinforming us by this admin. In their sometimes small, sometimes big ways these are American heroes. Their ranks have been systematically depleted by a prez intolerant of truth tellers. Dr. Fauci would be one of those if he was not recognized as one of the world's leading epidemiologists. But rest assured the Orange Fraud was livid when he learned Fauci had been truthful about Don's colossal failure to prepare the nation from the ravages of the c-virus.

People like Fauci, Vindman, Taylor, Hill, Cooper should be celebrated..........not vilified. In normal times they would be. These are not normal times. Never before has the truth been such a powerful enemy of the prez. Evidenced by how much time he spends distorting it, trying to hide it, and punishing those who tell it.

Then why do you never tell the truth?

Then why do you never tell the truth?

Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and epidemic experts from universities around the world conferred last month about what might happen if the new coronavirus gained a foothold in the United States. How many people might die? How many would be infected and need hospitalization?

One of the agency’s top disease modelers, Matthew Biggerstaff, presented the group on the phone call with four possible scenarios — A, B, C and D — based on characteristics of the virus, including estimates of how transmissible it is and the severity of the illness it can cause. The assumptions, reviewed by The New York Times, were shared with about 50 expert teams to model how the virus could tear through the population — and what might stop it.

The C.D.C.’s scenarios were depicted in terms of percentages of the population. Translated into absolute numbers by independent experts using simple models of how viruses spread, the worst-case figures would be staggering if no actions were taken to slow transmission.

(I assume this is the worst case scenario) Between 160 million and 214 million people in the U.S. could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to one projection. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.

I am curious as to the obsession of "testing" for the Chinese flu. If you have it, it will be gone in 2 weeks and there is nothing the medical establishment, at this time, can do to cure it. So if you are an obese, homo with AIDS, and some rude soccer mom coughs in your face at the grocery store, yes you will probably not make it. Shit happens!

Monitoring the spread of the disease is useful. It's not as useful to the individual...

'It is a failing. Let's admit it,' Fauci says of coronavirus testing capacity

Link provided seeing how the Op failed to do so..............

 

[Snouter]

Norman, no doubt, but my guess is most folks especially criminals like illegal aliens, have no idea how they should submit to a test even if they knew what steps to take to do so. Especially as in the case of illegal aliens, democrats and others that have zero concern for the native population. Even myself as a law abiding, taxpaying American citizen would have no inclination to report myself somehow to the state when I know it is of no benefit to me. I have more fear of the currect crop of "doctors," most of whom cannot speak English, than the Chinese Flu.

Thanks, Obamacare!

Conservatives hate the kind of courage it takes to challenge the powers that be. They think courage is something that comes from the barrel of a gun.

 

[eagle1462010]

Federal gov't BS ............

1. They sent out faulty kits.....aka screwed up the test kits and don't get fired....
2. In this video .......take a week to get results.....LOL South Korea can do it in 6 hours.

Career workers for the CDC in action............WOW.....they are just GREAT ..........huh

They cost us weeks for screwing up the test kits.............and they can't even produce as many as a much smaller country..............Yippie.............gov't at work...........LOL

The idea is to separate, as quickly as possible, those people who have the virus from the healthy population in order to minimize the spread. Slowing the spread (while working on a vaccine) is the best thing we can do right now.

That’s yet another example of the ridiculous failure that is the CDC.

Real leaders accept responsibility for failure. Back in Jan. when we had time to prepare Trump should have been ordering a ramp up in the production of accurate test kits. He didn't. Ultimately the government's response is on him. If he is going to take credit for perceived government success he should accept the blame for failure.

The CDC has been sabotaged by politics since forever. Seems everything that kills us makes someone else a lot of money. They have been made toothless and led by political yes-men long before this came up. Starved for funds and decisive leadership to satisfy everyone from big tobacco, gun manufactures to snack food makers this is what you get. A public health agency that cannot do it's job.

 

[wamose]

It shouldn't surprise anyone that a government agency, the CDC, is so poorly prepared. Almost every agency in our government is a dysfunctional waste of money. The only thing I've seen government succeed at is covering up for connected liberal criminals or arresting people who belong to the other party. It doesn't help that we have 30+ million illegal aliens in this country either. The liberal swamp abides.

we've been living an orwellian dystopia since 9/11

...but many Americans still cling to the silly belief that we have the best HC in the whole fucking world.

People trying to tell the truth about many things have been called haters and worse. Ghettos still exist and you can not figure out why.
