That the Senate will maintain a week long recess and not work on legislation resolving this for a week and a half is criminal negligence, considering the exponential growth.

Look, you don't want to rush into handling an emergency situation. Best to sit back, observe for a while, and then figure out how to handle an immediate crisis with all due deliberation.

I didn't know about the data flow but it makes sense to me. Like you said that only makes this all the worse.Smoove_B wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2020 11:42 amWhich is why none of this makes sense - unless someone is specifically saying don't share that info (spoiler: they are). The channels are already in place. The reporting mechanism already exists - neither are being created exclusively for this outbreak. The fact that the CDC isn't using this existing infrastructure to share with states what's happening locally, regionally and nationally is a real problem. Incompetence is one thing, but this is beyond incompetence. This is (to me) clearly malfeasance.

I was just listening to CNN and they said while this is the public comment, in private Senators are hopefully Pelosi and the Treasury Secretary can hammer out a deal that the President will accept. They haven't flown home yet and are thinking there is still time.
That being said, the comment was also made that there are real philosophical differences on what the bill should contain, so still a ways to go.

They've done more testing than most and the UK is an island, which greatly simplifies quarantine and isolation from the rest of continental Europe (e.g. it's partly why they were able to eradicate rabies in the UK at the turn of the 20th century).

I often have several news channels up (strong Ozymandias theme here fwiw) and the Fox Business host cut away and complained about injecting politics into this...then he noted that the market trended back down as Biden talked. "Maybe it is a coincedence..." then went to mention it 4 or 5 times in the next minute.Defiant wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2020 1:45 pm Biden is giving a good speech on what needs to be done with regards to the Pandemic.

Ohio's Governor is about to give a speech. I anticipate he will announce no large gatherings, just not sure what size will be considered large. I also think he may order schools to close.
He had a similar press conference yesterday and the difference in leadership between him and Drumpf is striking (I.E. He actually is a leader and lets his Doctors talk about the science). Here's a link if anyone is curious to watch it. http://ohiochannel.org/live/governor-mike-dewine
