Actually, what we need is to get out from being under China's thumb... Did you know that we relied on them for 95% of all of our antibiotics and nearly all of our generics before they threatened to withold shipping meds to us because we aren't going to allow them to falsely put the blame for COVID-19 on us? Most Americans didn't know. How do you feel knowing that you almost assuredly have to ingest a pill that was "Made in China," the next time you get a headache? 🤔
Right now we are in the middle of a healthcare crisis as well. If we don't have antibiotics. we don't have mask. we don't have proper protection for American workers. We also don't have enough ventilators. So if we do get a spike where a lot of people have the virus. We're up shitt's creek Without a Paddle or a boat.
@Kent Horvath that's the reason the tests or not available. Because we are in a healthcare crisis. We don't have mask. And we don't have ventilators. Don't have gloves. And we don't have enough test to test people. If more money would have been put towards Healthcare and helping other people. We would not be in this situation.
A "greatest country on Earth" would have no poverty or unemployment or large prison population. But then again it would probably have no immigration, no diversity and most importantly.........no liberals.
Who gives a f---? The point is we developed our own! If we've learned anything about this at all, the biggest takeaway is that President Trump was right all along, whether we want to admit it or not.

The majority of Americans did not know that we relied on China for such things and, now that we do, we feel like our elected leaders on both sides of the aisle sold us out and made us vulnerable. I mean, for Pete's sake, we can't even have a headache without having to digest a remedy that was manufactured in China! What's to stop them from infecting all of our needed medications, from blood pressure meds to ibuprofen, with whatever biologic pathogen they develop in a lab? So, pardon me if I don't seem to care about the cost. There was nothing wrong with "Made in the USA." We have paid so much more by counting on "Made in China," not just because of COVID-19, but because of our vulnerability plus the fact that these thieves steal $500B of our intellectual property annually, as if the control these greedy f---s have isn't enough! I'm sure we're not the only country they do this to. Others should be equally outraged.

"The true death rate could turn out to be similar to that of a severe seasonal flu, below 1 percent..." “The latest data from China stem from an analysis of nearly 45,000 confirmed cases, and on the whole suggest that the people most likely to develop severe forms of COVID-19 are those with pre‐ existing illnesses and the elderly.While less than 1 percent of people who were otherwise healthy died from the disease, the fatality rate for people with cardiovascular disease was 10.5 percent. That figure was 7.3 percent for diabetes patients and around 6 percent for those with chronic respiratory disease, hypertension, or cancer. While overall, 2.3 percent of known cases [in China] proved fatal-which many experts say is likely an overestimate of the mortality rate, given that many mild cases might go undiagnosed-patients 80 years or older were most at risk, with 14.8 percent of them dying.” The Scientist article point about the death rate being “less than 1 percent” among the healthy and also the point about the 2.3% Chinese estimate being a “an overestimate” because “many mild cases might go undiagnosed” underscore similar points I made in a March 2 blog. My concern is that misinformation about COVID-19 has fueled excessive fear of the virus by greatly exaggerating the actual death rate per hundred people infected (the infection fatality rate). I suggested that if we took unreported mild cases into account, the actual death rate among infected people outside China may be as low as 0.5%. Skeptics greeted death rates of 0.5-1.0% as Panglossian heresy. Yet the rigorous February 10 study I cited, from Imperial College London, concluded the global infection fatality ratio was about 1.0. My estimate is lower than 1.0 because I exclude China where (I argue) high fatality rates in Wuhan were exaggerated by overcounting institutionalized elderly with serious infection. On February 29, Denise Grady, The New York Times’ veteran health and medicine reporter, independently came to conclusions not unlike those Katarina Zimmer and I did within a few days of each other - namely than fewer than 1% of people infected with COVID-19 are likely to die from it, and that the odds of death are lower that that for healthy non‐ elderly people. Ms. Grady explained these facts in The New York Times as follows [with emphasis added]: “Early estimates of the coronavirus death rate from China, the epicenter of the outbreak, have been around 2 percent. But a new report on 1,099 cases from many parts of China, published on Friday in The New England Journal of Medicine, finds a lower rate: 1.4 percent. The coronavirus death rate may be even lower, if - as most experts suspect - there are many mild or symptom‐ free cases that have not been detected. The true death rate could turn out to be similar to that of a severe seasonal flu, below 1 percent, according to an editorial published in the journal by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” Despite two health science writers and one economist trying to warn people that widely hyped mortality rates greatly exaggerate the risk (not to mention Drs. Fauci, Lane and Redfield) exaggerated estimates continue to grab the headlines.” www.cato.org/blog/covid-19-deaths-incredible-who-estimates "South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus. That could explain why its death rate is just 0.6% - far lower than in China or the US." www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-coronavirus-testing-death-rate-2020-3 "South Korea has tested more than 140,000 people for the new coronavirus and confirmed more than 6,000 cases. Its fatality rateis around 0.6%. This suggests that, as many health experts have predicted, the virus' fatality rate seems to decrease as more cases are reported. That's because more widespread testing leads more mild cases to be included in the count. The US, by contrast, has tested around 1,500 people. The country has 221 confirmed cases and 12 deaths, suggesting a death rate of 5%. The US' testing capacity has been limited." www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-coronavirus-testing-death-rate-2020-31
So what about the that continent called Europe? The epicenter of SARS ncov 2 is now Europe. An Italian doctor said the cfr is 13 to 14%. I believe it was channel 4 interview out of the UK. Even under reported numbers out of the middle east show high numbers of death. You are not wrong but it seems you have only focused on half the picture that preserves or aligns with your theory. You have a good presentation none the less.

The process of doing the test is as crucial as availabilty of the tests , to avoid error results , every phase of doing the test have to be impeccable , including transportation of samples to the labs !
Most questions are answered daily in the briefings. They also provide expert advice. The experts are the people on the podium not offering opinions. The advice is useful in preventing the spread of the disease.
Sweden says: Anyone who suspects that he or she has been infected by the corona virus in the Stockholm region will no longer be tested. Only those who are already in hospital or belong to a risk group will be sampled. - Now we have to accept that the infection is here and now it is important to spread it as little as possible, says Erik Berglund, who is the press officer at Region Stockholm.
We don't have enough tests. I work in a hospital and all the cases take more than 5 days. We don't have proper equipment to care for the patients. We are not even properly isolating the patients that are infected from the patients that are not. There is so much cross contamination. The hospital doesn't even have enough test to test their own employees when we present with symptoms.

On February 29, Denise Grady, The New York Times’ veteran health and medicine reporter, independently came to conclusions not unlike those Katarina Zimmer and I did within a few days of each other - namely than fewer than 1% of people infected with COVID-19 are likely to die from it, and that the odds of death are lower that that for healthy non‐ elderly people. Ms. Grady explained these facts in The New York Times as follows [with emphasis added]:
“Early estimates of the coronavirus death rate from China, the epicenter of the outbreak, have been around 2 percent. But a new report on 1,099 cases from many parts of China, published on Friday in The New England Journal of Medicine, finds a lower rate: 1.4 percent. The coronavirus death rate may be even lower, if - as most experts suspect - there are many mild or symptom‐ free cases that have not been detected. The true death rate could turn out to be similar to that of a severe seasonal flu, below 1 percent, according to an editorial published in the journal by Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Robert R. Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Despite two health science writers and one economist trying to warn people that widely hyped mortality rates greatly exaggerate the risk (not to mention Drs. Fauci, Lane and Redfield) exaggerated estimates continue to grab the headlines.”

"South Korea has tested 140,000 people for the coronavirus. That could explain why its death rate is just 0.6% - far lower than in China or the US."
www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-coronavirus-testing-death-rate-2020-3
"South Korea has tested more than 140,000 people for the new coronavirus and confirmed more than 6,000 cases. Its fatality rateis around 0.6%.
This suggests that, as many health experts have predicted, the virus' fatality rate seems to decrease as more cases are reported.
That's because more widespread testing leads more mild cases to be included in the count.
The US, by contrast, has tested around 1,500 people. The country has 221 confirmed cases and 12 deaths, suggesting a death rate of 5%.
The US' testing capacity has been limited."

So what about the that continent called Europe? The epicenter of SARS ncov 2 is now Europe. An Italian doctor said the cfr is 13 to 14%. I believe it was channel 4 interview out of the UK. Even under reported numbers out of the middle east show high numbers of death. You are not wrong but it seems you have only focused on half the picture that preserves or aligns with your theory. You have a good presentation none the less.
They had December on to start getting ready but chose to wait till the last second and are still taking more time as lives are being lost, what a crying shame
At first a lot of people didn't take it seriously,carelessness and false information about the virus
The only thing that stops this is to test EVERYONE
So how are so many celebrities and pro athletes getting tested so quickly with some not having any symptoms?
Teams paid for tests privately. If u got money u can skip in line and priority over ppl that may become deathly ill because theyre poor
Same question I have?
We never learn, alsways repeating.
The process of doing the test is as crucial as availabilty of the tests , to avoid error results , every phase of doing the test have to be impeccable , including transportation of samples to the labs !
3rd world USA
Never have you realized how far we are behind other countries is medical technology and government efficiency, right?
Why doesn't the public sector always work in tandem with the private sector in regards to humanity? Like 😯 $
I love whoever this commentator is
How can you have confirmed cases if there isn't a test in the first place?
No test here in a rural area. Hospital said to call the health department. The health department said call the health hospital 😭
We are not ready. There is noone...this is the default state of healthcare
Psychic we are not... Human we shall always be.
1.5 million tests per month for 330 million Americans... oh boy.
1:15 maybe North Carolina's PUBLIC labs had only tested 329 people... but the PRIVATE labs have done a lot of tests. This isn't accurate reporting.
This is a wake up call! Hopefully we would learn something from this.
Most questions are answered daily in the briefings. They also provide expert advice. The experts are the people on the podium not offering opinions. The advice is useful in preventing the spread of the disease.
Sweden says: Anyone who suspects that he or she has been infected by the corona virus in the Stockholm region will no longer be tested. Only those who are already in hospital or belong to a risk group will be sampled.
- Now we have to accept that the infection is here and now it is important to spread it as little as possible, says Erik Berglund, who is the press officer at Region Stockholm.
After this. I think we all should send letters to our Congress.
This is not acceptable.
It’s was so eerie to see “no traffics jams” on Highways today at all, especially it’s weekdays. Guess most or few business closed down..
Same here in Houston texas
Mark Burch it’s like end times are coming.. 🥱
Check your temperature. Even a slight rise in temperature could be a sign of contagiousness.
I love that majority of these people think that we can even afford sitting on our ass for two fucking weeks or more.
Not prepared at all. This is a huge wake-up call.
To all Europeans, take a good look to this greedy corporation system in USA. Hope Europe doesn't end like this.
i flinched when she coughed!😷
Most US sports athletes have been tested. How is it that they can be tested but not an "average" citizen?
We don't have enough tests. I work in a hospital and all the cases take more than 5 days. We don't have proper equipment to care for the patients. We are not even properly isolating the patients that are infected from the patients that are not. There is so much cross contamination. The hospital doesn't even have enough test to test their own employees when we present with symptoms.
The media loves this
Can we hire South Korea to run our nation’s medical emergencies?
They are telling us to go home. We can’t even get a test
Never seen the media control a narrative so well in my damn life 🤦🏾♂️
That's crazy how some people don't show symptoms but still contagious and can still spread. We nee this ASAP!!!!
They should send the vaccine out immediately
Stay safe people..stay home..and wear scarfs and gloves in public.. then disenfect with Lysol n wash them with lil bleach once home...and keep praying 🙏 Psalm 91
I’m about to buy some Roche stock. I’ve lost so much already.
Why can’t we just buy the testing kits from South Korea?
Sandy Allen Trump did it or CDC? Why ?
@@wt3447 Trump did b/c he wanted our pharma companies to profit. So stupid. As you can see from the video, we had to develop our own. Now the Prez's chief doctor goes around telling how the "private sector" will save us.
@Sandy Allen Really? The World Health Organization is basically owned by China! The point is that we developed our own test! If we've learned anything about this at all, the biggest takeaway is that President Trump was right all along, whether we want to admit it or not. We need to get out from under the thumb of other countries and get back to counting on "Made in the USA"... ESPECIALLY when we are uber dependent on a communist country who hates us so much that they'd threaten to withold shipping much needed medications to us, all because they're personally offended that the world knows where this originated and don't buy into their propaganda that it came to Wuhan through the US Army last October. The majority of Americans did not know that we relied on China for such things and, now that we do, we feel like our elected leaders on both sides of the aisle sold us out and made us vulnerable. I mean, for Pete's sake, we can't even have a headache without having to digest a remedy that was manufactured in China! What's to stop them from infecting all of our needed medications, from blood pressure meds to ibuprofen, with whatever biologic pathogen they develop in a lab? So, pardon me if I don't seem to care about refusing to depend on a foreign-made test in favor of one created by the U.S. There was nothing wrong with "Made in the USA" from the start. We have paid so much more by counting on "Made in China," not just because of COVID-19, but because of our vulnerability plus the fact that these thieves steal $500B of our intellectual property annually, as if the control these greedy f---s have isn't enough! I'm sure we're not the only country they do this to. Others should be equally outraged.
@@stickersdogcat42 No, Trump did it BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE SELF RELIANT! What's wrong with your brain?
@@wt3447 The CDC, under ANY Administration, was NEVER prepared for something like this. Dr. Fauci already established that fact. Whether we want to admit it or not, Trump was right all along. We have been sold out by our elected leaders on BOTH sides of the aisle and are too dependent on other countries. There's nothing really wrong with leaning on our allies, but communist China making 95% of our anti-biotics and nearly all of our generics is unacceptable! Did you know this prior to this COVID-19 pandemic?... Most of us didn't. We have to break this reliance, so pardon me if I understand why we had to develop our own test and not rely on the World Health Organization, which is basically owned by China, who annually steals roughly $500B of our intellectual property as it is already. In the long run, we're better off to count on ourselves, especially for things like this.
Why do they keep comparing to South Korea’s preparations to America’s without mentioning America is 3.79 million miles larger than Korea
Many current tests used around the world have had poor results.
Why did the NBA guy get tested, if tests are limited, and, he was showing “no signs” of being sick? 🤔
Bobby Auvil the jazz tested all their players and personal which took up 58% of test kits. If you are rich you are treated differently don’t you know?
Sloppy Jo, seriously?! Wtf?

My question is, we knew it was in China first! Why didn’t we prepare for it earlier ????????
there is no testing in most areas. the doctors are telling everyone they have walking pnumonia cause the have no test kits at all in my area.
When people say USA is the best country in the world I laugh. Want to know what countries really care about their citizens? Go to the site that shows number of test per million citizens. USA is not even on the first page.
_Extremely_ underprepared.
We aren't. Counties are not testing anyone unless they are severely ill. So messed up.
Bro, stop the overreaction
Literally going to cause a 2008 all over again and cause more damage than corona ever would have
Ok, we’ll have the test but what about a vaccine for those affected?
Please explain the test process from making a test to how it's read.
May God bless us all! Please tell us the truth!
Im in the same situation. I got tested on sunday and they are telling me they should hear something on Saturday. Im so worried and my boss wants me back at work, what do i tell her what i dont know.
You should go back to work and lick your bosses coffee cup.
This a bullshit psy ops program with a totalitarian creep! Since Thanksgiving, influenza has infected 20-30 million persons, 300000-500000 hospitalizations, 22000-40000 deaths, all with a readily available vaccine, not one public health alert sounded. This Covert 19 bs is being treated like a Thanos snap with just over 100 deaths. This world wide social economic reset is about something much more than a virus that can and should be handled by a person’s immune system. Don’t sheep!
I hope her husband recovers. 😥
WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THIS LIE ???
You're an idiot
This is what we have all been asking for. We all wanted cheap cheap cheap goods so everything was sourced out to other countries. Trump has been warning of this for years that we arr to dependent on other countries. All of us need to adopt a new slogan, MADE IN AMERICA AGAIN!
Bruh just don’t touch anyone for the next month. Safe than sorry.
Or any surfaces, if you have to, wash your hands thoroughly.
It's sad when we as Americans elect these different people into positions of power and they have a lot of ways to get resources but they act like the barely have the common sense of a cow when it comes to producing better healthcare plans
Oh well, we had a good run.
How in the world do asymptomatic people get tested and people that are sick cant get a test ?
The testing needs to be the total focus...now
03/18/20...Thousands of CV test kits sent to Calif. were lacking the necessary reagents to complete the tests while potus bragged about all the test kits distributed.
Real news?! Keep it up!
I work in healthcare facility those PPE that we use is worthless. All we got to do is follow how SOUTH KOREA is Doing it.
How much better off would we be now, if we had gotten tests from the WHO to bridge the gap? But no, the stable genius refused them!
Very nice 👩🎓
Is 400k test in 10 days a lot? Thats only 8k tests per state per day
Let me guess...We are not very prepared because you hate Trump.
Serious question herd immunity offers its own value right ? Seriously does this entire ordeal make you want to debate open borders , self reliance , removal of burdensome regulations in events moments matter ?
My grandma still has toilet paper she paid .02 cents a rolls for she stocked for y2k ......................................
What can’t we do medical trials instead that’s a better test to see if a vaccine or cure can be made
We are going to now start working with robots
Spraying streets is useless.
"The U.S. Air Force has flown half a million coronavirus testing kits from Italy to Tennessee, the branch’s top general revealed Wednesday.
Gen. David Goldfein told reporters at the Pentagon that the kits landed in Memphis on Monday. They were transported across the Atlantic on an Air Force C-17 cargo plane and now will be distributed around the country, people familiar with the mission told Defense One.
A photo purportedly showing a C-17 stocked with pallets of testing kits was temporarily posted on Instagram by a user who claimed to be part of the mission’s crew,"
If you are running a fever, have a cough that is SEVERE and are short of breath.... guess what!
Common sense kids!!!
I had the virus last week, it was two solid days in bed. Shivering and unable to get up.
I take immunosuppressive drugs and I’m 40. I don’t smoke and don’t drink. I do take opioids though. It was like am extremely bad cold.
Everyone be positive we wont die if we take precautions
