if the virus has had a higher penetration than though, that is a good thing, it means it is much less scary than people thought. It also means that less people will catch it and transmit it in the future.

It also means, if we tested more in the beginning we could of saved more lives. We could of isolated more of the infected and slowed the spread.

I am sure you are referring to the governors and mayors in the most affected states and cities

??? Despite assurances to the contrary, months ago when governors or mayors might have been able to act, tests were not available. As we get ready for the next phase, success depends upon tracing and testing and nothing approaching an adequate number of tests is still available. That is what frustrates many of us.

??? Many tests, if not all , are produced by private companies. I would like to see the orders the governors and mayors placed in January and February.

Danny, our leaders said we would have four million tests within a week over a month ago and they still haven’t provided that many tests. Perhaps you should ask for those orders first, eh?

So the four millions tests were in addition to what the mayors and governors had already ordered in January and February? Or you are telling me that they ordered none?

I think the statement about the 4 million tests belongs to Dr Fauci so they will have to hold him accountable for that.

"Roger" give up the repeated denunciation of the administration. You know what the end result is going to be. You hand pick the articles that condemn the current administrations handling of this situation, post the links and scurry off hoping no questions will be asked. Read the rules once again and if there's a problem understanding, just ask.

Actually I was busy reading the articles that Danny linked to (and since deleted). They pretty much said the same thing as the article that I linked to with some other supporting details.

No, by posting the link I was actually making the case that the articles posted by this journalist are political in nature. I deleted it because I thought it was too political to make that argument and I did not want to go there. I agree with WVBaker

At least we do not live in China, Russia or North Korea and get stuck with those governments. I much prefer our screwed up system.

It is very interesting that US/CDC/WHO earlier had dismissed that the virus came from a lab based on analysis of the virus. Now they have decided that it did come from a lab in Wuhan. I wonder what can the rest of the countries do about it.

I thought the lab idea was dismissed.

It was and it came back alive these past 2 days.

Okay, I just googled it and it looks like they are investigating the idea but no conclusions have been made yet.

US explores possibility that coronavirus spread started in Chinese lab, not a market

US intelligence and national security officials say the United States government is looking into the possibility that the novel coronavirus spread from a Chinese laboratory rather than a market, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who caution it is premature to draw any...

Pence, not Fauci. So easy to make that mistake. And yes, let's hold him accountable.

"Over a million tests have been distributed," Pence said, and "before the end of this week, another 4 million tests will be distributed.".

Pence merely repeated what Dr Fauci said a couple of days before but you do not have a problem with Fauci so you just say Pence.

Also, as I understand it, you need more than one probe for one test so they might have referred to that. But I hope you realize, whomever gave them the information, they were aggregating what the private sector was telling them they could produce at the time.

this would be really big if it proves to be true in California and other parts of the US

Danny, you make erroneous assumptions. Constantly.

I would hold anyone responsible for their failures. I don’t care who they are. If Fauci said it, fine. If Pence said it, fine. If it was the private sector, fine.

However, I do know Fauci is not responsible for the supply chain and cannot order companies to produce tests the way the executive can. So how about we agree that the buck should stop there? But then, the executive doesn’t seem to be taking any responsibility (if you want, I’ll find multiple references to that quote but I’m sure you know it).

To stop the pandemic, it is critical to know how our immune system's antibodies fight the coronavirus. This is what science can tell us so far.

I agree with you, it was a statement that should not have been made. I am just amazed how people try to find this kind of errors, possibly honest mistakes, and try to skewer those that have probably work 16 hours a day to solve the problem while seeing no fault at the other levels of the government.

Yes, absolutely.

There are already revisionists rewriting history...and we should all know better. Triple check independent sources, don’t post or believe the first thing you see, etc.

I hope you did not forget where we started. Or did you?

I just do not see how those that critique one level of the government does not see fault to any of the 50 governors; I can only interpret that view as political. I frankly find your statements ridiculous: revisionist history, erroneous etc. I will find easily 100 untrue statements and exaggerations by ANY politician including your favorite, if you have one. This was not the point but you chose to peddle on it because you not like the idea of shared responsibility even if it is obvious.
