Interesting. Covering his lie by pointing to possibly the MOST Libtard part (San Francisco's Bay Area) of Libfuck California in the US, where Democrat mismanagement makes for a long wait, but if someone goes to a coherently led Republican Red State, they get results much quicker.
Huh...

 

You can't always believe everything you read on Google, either. It is likely going to be some extreme example that someone found that is not representative of reality in an area.

My boss needs to have proof of not having covid in order to be allowed to visit his mother in Eastern Europe. The test results cannot be more than 72 hours old in order to be accepted. He anticipated a problem getting results within the right timeframe, so he went to 2 different testing sites in the East Bay, and ended up getting his results too quickly. So today, he has to go and do it all over again.

None of us at work are complaining though, since it keeps him out of our hair for a while again today.

 

I hope you guys appreciate the irony of Mike Pompeo embarking on a charm offensive to put together a global alliance against China, who do need to be reigned in but he is discovering that after three years of insults, fuck you, and America first..........the rest of the world is somewhat reluctant to take part in any US led initiative!

You reap what you sow I guess!

US push for global alliance against China hampered by years of 'America first'

Beijing is flexing its muscles on multiple fronts but Trump’s retreat from world leadership leaves it ill-placed to helm a fightback

P.S. Our tests en famille we negative I am sure you will all be as relieved as we were.

That's the only thing i agree with trump keep the Chinese out of the UK internet also not to fond of them building UK nuclear power stations.In both it would give them the power to turn both of with a back door computer program.

 

RE: Pompeo's International Charm Offensive vs. China:
Ironic? YES!
Futile? Hopefully NOT.
It's way past time to publicly mobilize against China.
I can't understand why Everyone has been so complacent for so long!

 

Apparently according to the US President you are in very good shape with the virus and your President has learned to pronounce therapeutics.

I am sure someone like a medic could have explained therapeutics better than but you will be thrilled to hear you have tremendous and great news about transfusions and shots over the next two weeks.

Thinskin

 

Everyone so complacent ,
and implying Americans haven't been ?

That's a laugh.

Every recently purchased "American" brand product I have purchased (for years)
is made in China or other Asian countries.

America farmed out everything to China and Asia when it suited them
LOL

America was fully complicit in giving China the power it now has.

To late to wake up now.

America abdicated it's leadership over the years ,
and became increasingly introspective and isolationist ,
and steadily becoming
more and more irrelevant.

It is continuing and ongoing.

Even now , there's been actions taken against the Chinese position ,
but America "has not yet".

This has become the norm..

That's fine ,
but to suggest the rest of the world has been complacent , inferring the US has not ,
is just a joke.

It is all very unfortunate ,
because China is immune to the old twentyeth century
ways America is still stuck in ,
and it would undoubtedly be much better if they were a part of a modern combined
twentyfirst century response.

In fact , America's divisive tactics are a great hindrance to having effect on China's behaviour ,
but of course Americans can't see that.

(one of the problems with being so introspective.

It used to be that we'd all do things and take action with America.
Now it's more in spite of America ,
and if they join in ok ,
if not ,
oh well)

 

Virus testing turnaround times reveal wide disparity

By TAMARA LUSH
Today

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Cameron Settles was swabbed for COVID-19 in mid-June at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando and it took him eight days to get the results.

“They originally told him that it would be five days,” said Jenna Settles, his wife. “Then when he went to log in, it said six days, then seven days. He eventually had to call and wait on hold for three or four hours to get his result.”

He was positive, and so his wife went to the convention center for her own test. It took four days to receive her results, and they were negative. The entire process, the couple said, was frustrating.


As coronavirus cases surge in hard-hit Florida, so do the turnaround times for test results.

The reasons are many: Often it has to do with lab staffing, backlog, or equipment shortages. Some tests are done in house, while others are sent to overloaded labs out of state. Health experts say test results that come back after two or three days are nearly worthless, because by then the window for tracing the person’s contacts to prevent additional infections has essentially closed.


But there is one place in Central Florida where a group of people are being tested and getting results within a day: the NBA.

Basketball players, team staff, news media and anyone else inside the “bubble” at the practice compound at Walt Disney World are tested daily — and get their results within 15-18 hours on average. This rankles some in Central Florida, who wonder why local, state and federal leaders can’t coordinate large-scale, organized testing, but the NBA can.

“It speaks to a larger problem about how we treat people with wealth and in high places as opposed to regular folks,” Cameron Settles said. “But regular people do want to watch basketball. I wish we could extend that kind of testing to everyone rather than begrudge them for having it.”

What's happening in Florida is unfolding around the country. The pandemic is showing the problems created by a hodgepodge of public health systems that relies on private laboratories. Sometimes, local, state and federal public health officials don't communicate well with each other, or with the private labs — or with the people waiting for results.

“It is really a patchwork that is based on a free-market system with a very unusual payment structure that doesn’t always work in a free-market manner,” said Roger Shapiro, an associate professor of immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “The U.S. health care system is cobbled together and it’s very different depending on what hospital or clinic you’re at.”


Shapiro said that back in March, labs, hospitals and clinics became snagged in a testing backlog due in part to the supply chain — a shortage of critical supplies, such as nasal swabs.

“I have to say I was hopeful things were on the right track and it’s very much like groundhog day to be back in this situation,” he said. “There’s not a safety valve with a federal infrastructure that can pick up the slack for testing when ... laboratories are overwhelmed.”

Full Coverage: Virus Outbreak
Inside the NBA campus on the Walt Disney World property in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, about 1,300 people are tested daily. Most are players and team staff; each of the 22 teams that qualified for the NBA season restart, which opened Thursday night, can bring up to 37 people in their travel party.

The NBA has not revealed the exact cost of testing. But reporters allowed into games without access to players and staff inside the bubble must submit to twice-weekly tests that cost $140 each, paid for by their news organizations. News media inside the bubble must be tested daily.

Based on that figure, the NBA is spending somewhere between $115,000 and $180,000 a day to test players and team and NBA staff — though that will decrease as the season goes along, when teams are eliminated.

Only two players have tested positive since teams arrived at Disney three weeks ago — both were newly signed players who never made it out of quarantine and into the bubble. Of the 344 players tested daily inside the bubble, none has come back positive.

And the NBA says it is trying to do it’s part for the community: This week the league announced it would open a free, daily COVID-19 testing site at an Orlando-area mall, with results expected within about 72 hours. It also sponsored a one-day, pop-up testing event in Orlando on July 11 and is providing additional NBA-funded tests in 29 markets nationwide, according to a news release.

“Our testing program in Orlando will not result in testing capacity being diverted from the community,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said. “By bringing new testing capacity to Central Florida, launching a mobile testing site opened to the public, and bringing in point-of-care testing to support not only the NBA but members of the community in the Orlando area, our program will actually be additive to public testing.”

As of this week, there had been more than 642,000 tests performed in the seven Central Florida counties — around 18% of the 3.4 million tests done in Florida.

For Shapiro, the issue isn't about the NBA or Major League Baseball testing players frequently — it's about the holdup in getting results for everyone else.

“The testing should be widespread enough at this point in the epidemic. We can afford to give some additional testing to athletes,” the Harvard professor said. “It's reasonable to think they should be tested. They’re playing a role, giving people entertainment. I don’t think that this small number of additional tests performed on athletes should be a major consideration.”

Dr. Stephen Nimer, director of the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center who designed the school's coronavirus testing program, said testing turnaround varies by lab.

“A few things determine turnaround time. What time of the day the sample is taken. How long it takes for the sample to get to the place to do the testing. How long does it take for the test to be done? How long does it take for the results to return?” he said. “There’s not such great guidance to help everybody do this.”

Shapiro said the best-case scenario will come when an “all-in-one” test is developed.

“What we really need to be moving towards is making COVID testing like pregnancy testing,” he said.

Settles, whose symptoms have cleared, works from home and said he won't get tested again anytime soon, figuring the wait would be long with the recent surge in cases.

But he does wonder why the NBA is so organized when it comes to testing and contact tracing, and the general public is left with confusion.

“They’ve done everything right as far as I’m concerned,” Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said of the NBA’s efforts.

“I mean, when you think that we’re running a village for the first time, the league is doing pretty well in city management. ... Maybe we should send our game plan on to the White House.”

Associated Press basketball writer Tim Reynolds in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, contributed to this report.

 

Now the hack fucks at the CDC are blaming hospitals for the alleged over counting of CoVid deaths, claiming that there is a monetary benefit to the over counting, which is absolute bullshit on the face.

There is no financial benefit to having a death certificate state that a person’s cause of death was directly tied to COVID-19.

Yet according the the actual guidelines from the CDC suggest that hospitals should report that a person who died, that has CoVid should be recorded as dying of CoVid, no matter if there was another reason for death.

 

Bullshit

 

Compelling argument you just made.

 

Not an argument just a statement. Your claim is based on some bullshit from a Minnesota state senator that you heard on Fox News. The claim has been debunked and doesn’t even make sense. If it was true they would have said Goerge Floyd died from corona. Sorry I call bullshit when I see it won’t happen again I’ll let you live in your fantasy world and you don’t have to wear a mask.

 

If you can be bothered to look up the deaths above average plot on the cdc website you will see the real picture of covid-19 related deaths.

For some reason the numbers have not been updated for a couple of weeks.

Then by applying a little arithmetic you will see that the true numbers are approaching a quarter of a million deaths above average in the US since March.

Thinskin

 

For all you Americans that voted for Trump......you knew if he was a criminal who has spent his life inflating his assets and you did not fucking care.

You knew he was a liar and voted for him.........you all share a collective responsibility.

Suppose we all inflated our assets to the extent that delayed court proceedings as one can do with an AG like Barr?

All you stupid people did was give a criminal four years of delaying criminal proceedings which is all the Trump presidency has been.

Oh yes and you have still not complained while people are dying.

I am going to internet free land on holidays so stay well y'all.

Thinskin

 

Huh.
Apparently thinskin woke up with
Biden?
Really?
As his first thought.

 

Definitely our fault, especially those who didn't vote for him.

As with all things Trump, it is the same with Trump supporters. He never takes responsibility when things crash and burn and neither will Trump supporters. It's not their fault. It was those other people.

 

It all comes down to having only 2 parties worth voting for and buying into their BS.

 

Coronavirus will ‘magically’ disappear by November

‘After November 3rd, coronavirus will magically, all of the sudden, go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.’

That’s all part of the Democrats’ “very cognizant strategy” to take down Donald Trump ahead of the 2020 election, according to Eric Trump, who laid out his case on Fox News over the weekend.

If Eric’s optimistic forecast sounds familiar, it should. His father said back in February that the coronavirus would “disappear” one day “like a miracle.”

At last count, almost 90,000 people in the U.S. have died from COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University. Globally, there have been more than 315,000 deaths.

But Eric still maintains that it’s a tactic by the left.

“They think they’re taking away Donald Trump’s greatest tool, which is to go into an arena and fill it with 50,000 people every time,” he continued in his interview with Jeannine Pirro. “They will milk it every single day between now and November 3rd.”

 

more of the 4 year ongoing Flip Flop circus

In an abrupt reversal of his opposition to expanded mail-in voting across the country this November, Donald Trump is now touting the security of mail-in ballots in the key swing state of Florida.

 

I gotta hand it to you leftists....you loathsome mother fuckers didn't let this crisis go to waste.
