[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else find the DC response completely lacking?  There is no game plan, no coordination, no messaging, like wtf are we doing?  what are we supposed to be doing?

We don't have to panic, but I also don't think we should be allowed to carry on like nothing is going on.  But I think that IS the plan- carry on like nothing is going on and hope it goes away until there are more positives, more deaths, and we hit a crisis.  [/quote]

This. The silence is deafening. Wtf? Bowser needs to step up.[/quote]

[b]The federal government too - they need to issue some guidelines to schools and businesses regarding how to handle contacts of confirmed cases.

The problem is, though, that there's hardly any testing capacity to test everyone who should be tested. Eventually everyone is going to know someone who has it - are we all going to just stay home?[/quote][/b]

We should be testing and staying home now.  I don't think Trump can be directly blamed for the CDC f-ing up the testing, but he can be directly blamed for everything since, especially the lack of messaging and contradictory messaging.

That doesn't excuse state and local governments from the head-in-the-sand approach.  There should be requirements of anyone in contact with the church rector and parishioners to quarantine.  Instead, there was no official information about the identity of the rector, nothing.  Just assurance that the cherry blossom festival will go on.

I can't tell if it's political- ignore it and it will hopefully go away - or if it is incompetence.  So many failures.  [/quote]

Trump's messaging has been on par with what's coming out of S. Korea (the downramping of death rates, etc). The WHO was screaming 3.7% death rate and Trump was trying to give the proper stat of 1% or less, which WAS being said by other more reliable sources than China's data.

BTW, I just saw this AM a newsbar that said the [b]Chinese open air markets had measurable coronavirus in the air directly inside.[/b] If the Chinese would be more responsible with, well, freaking EVERYTHING, then they would not be the #1 exporter of all these deadly diseases. They are the real issue, not Trump. You all just are so blinded by hate you don't want to hear that.[/quote]

How does cognitive dissonance feel, when you believe that but your also believe the Surgeon General that wearing masks don't protect healthy people?[/quote]
