We do have emergency pandemic plans at every agency. COOP plans- continuity of operations plans. If one thing is certain, the government keeps going.

A member of Congress. Sheesh.

It is admirable that our no testing policy is applied in an egalitarian way, even if the policy itself is not admirable.

Very true.

I wonder if they will extend tax filing and payment deadlines.

Ugh. There was a serious accident and an elderly family member is hospitalized. They may pull through, but may have lasting health consequences. Many in my immediate and extended family are now flying to see that individual, and some are elderly. I'm driving, but I would not want to fly now--tough though given the family situation.

Yeah, very selfish of that person

NPR reports Azar restricted testing because Trump made clear he wanted low numbers of confirmed cases.

I don't like the idea of the flying family members being allowed to see the already compromised hospitalized person. Hopefully doctors step in or something. All those elderly flying and going into hospitals right now - I understand but can't they FaceTime or something. Hopefully all works out well for you all.

Well if you are in the NBA, you get tested fairly quickly.

We’re doomed. Lock up your grandparents.

This kind of thing should be criminalized. To fly when you have been tested for coronavirus and endanger that enclosed space with recycled air. Or that father who took his other daughter to a dance, or that patient who violated quarantine to attend a party at Dartmouth business school. This is outrageous.

Are you not paying any attention at all? You are supposed to stay 6 feet away from people because it IS spread by air.
Why do you think everyone is taking this so very, very seriously?
