-- Do you mean they will summarize their findings about self-isolation and social distancing to justify the April 30th extension? --

Not just that. They have to explain how that results in at least 80,000 US dead from WuFlu. They also have to justify four more weeks. After all, two weeks ago they said two weeks, maybe four, would get the job done. Now, with lower death rates, they say more time is needed. Explain.

-- I'm wondering when they will summarize findings about HCQ testing? Have you seen any mention of that? --

The only mention of that was Trump, who only offered that testing started two days ago. That's BS on it's face because we have test results older than that. Maybe Trump is letting pressure build so FDA can answer why IT is not allowing or encouraging use. Who knows. I have very low confidence in government, and that's a generous summary of my attitude.

How many of deaths are attributed to covid when it really was in conjunction with, say...a heart attack, or a bad surgery outcome? Just wondering

-- "Overseas". Why am I a little worried? Not from China, I hope. --

I think it don't matter much where it ships from. Most of it was made in China no matter where it ships from.

“Some early clues may be found in the tiny country of Iceland. So far, the country has tested 11,727 people—about 3.2% of its population of 364,000....As of Thursday, 737 have tested positive, or roughly 6.3% of all people tested in the country. Of those, 15 are in hospitals, two of them in intensive care. The rest—many of whom are asymptomatic—have been ordered to self-quarantine.”

https://fortune.com/2020/03/27/coronavirus-testing-us-iceland-cdc-trump-decode-covid-19-tests/

11,727 tested. 737 positive. 17 needing hospitalization.

If 17 hospitalizations for every 737 who actually have it holds, this thing is pretty beatable.

> Did Fauci just did a con job on trump? Folks I live on the big border city should be inundated with corona...ALL our hospital beds are empty we have yet to have an outbreak and this is just damn ridiculous! The more time passes the more I am convinced this is a get orange man bad!! Sorry folks but I ain’t swallowing the koolaid!!

During the briefing, Trump mentioned that he, Fauci and Brix had briefly discussed regional lifting of the shelter in place guidelines, but that Fauci and Brix had recommended against it. To be fair, there are probably multiple reasons for and against it, but one possible reason against it that I can think of that might have held sway is that it would have led to yet more infighting among the governors concerning quarantining at the state borders level, allocation versus denial of emergency health resources, and so on. Beyond that, a sociological reason is that it might lead to adding to the difficulty of getting a unified message across to the American public to continue to be careful about social distancing, which (Trump noted) is one key to overcoming the virus at the national level.

Maybe.
This was disappointing and frightening (not to me because I stay informed) but, these people perhaps in accounting for human nature may be trying to get more people to change their behavior to knock this out. I hope we see what was previously hoped for by Easter.

Easter is a celebration of the living, and a celebration of God’s merciful miracle in Christ.

“CHINA MUST PAY !”

I have a feeling POTUS has a few ideas churning in his mind right now, to be used at a later date.

A shame, the “journalists” at the briefing did not familiarize themselves with the model results. Shameful.

“They are going to milk this until the economy crashes and our country is destroyed along with people hitting the streets in anger! It’s all about getting rid of Trump!!”

And we can thank Fauci, and possibly Birx, for this.

I was thinking similar...when on Easter it’s seen that every place except NYC, NEW ORLEANS and LA or DETROIT...have declined to “ normal”...then on April 13th...can start a rolling open...and President Trump will smile.

I wonder if there’s any way to get ahold of someone at OAN to get their person on site to ask the question, “Many areas are seeing illegal violations of civil rights, like the second amendment, by their state government officials. Would you please address this soon?”

So 300,000 masks x 20 NYC hospitals = 6 million mask for 7,500 hospital patients... Got it.

Apparently not. Most of the nurses and doctors wearing a mask, changing for each person they see, not all of who are Covid-19 patients though they wouldn't know that when they saw them. I can see each hospital going through dozens, maybe hundreds per hour. And that's day after day. So yeah, I can see them needing millions to get through the next few months.

“Reporter keeps asking, ‘But why is FLORIDA getting everything they’re asking for?’ Wants him to say ‘because I LIVE THERE!!!’”

I think she was implying that Rick DeSantis is GOP, and the Mass. governor isn’t. (I may be wrong about that.)

I think he should’ve said that, and added Obama’s line, “Elections have consequences.”

Oh I’m with you. Having to travel an hour to church now as it’s the closest I can find actually not virtually meeting.

Was just hoping he mentioned that specifically but I guess not.

I can’t say. They could send Virus 20. They could panic the sheep again. The opportunities are endless. I suppose at the right time we will know.
