Dr. Ashish JHA, Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute gave an interesting interview this morning on MSNBC. He said this morning the CDC is the best public health agency in the world, and this is not the CDC's fault. He said the problem is the administration has tried to down play this and has not taken this disease seriously. He said the president was saying a week ago this is not much worse than the flu, and ignoring public health officials and Dr. Fauci's warnings. He said that senior level officials at the FDA stopped development of a test in this country until very recently. For some reason we rejected the WHO test, made available almost two months ago, in favor development of our own test, and we have had one failure after another, which he said is inexplanable. Health care proffesionals and his friends at CDC don't understand what is happening at the senior most levels. Baffeling. He said that you cannot get a test today in Boston if your doctor needs to order a test, and that very few people are getting tested. He said there are theories the president doesn't want to know how many cases there are, and thinks this will just go away. Johns Hopkins is making their own tests now developed at Mayo. State health officials say no one knows where the numbers of one million test kits are coming from or where they will be coming from that Pence is quoting. He said if you call up your doctor today in Boston to see if you can get tested the answer is no. He said others are starting to buildi their own tests now because no one knows when those tests are going to be arriving and there is no faith the Federal Government is going to be able to deliver on the most basic thing that Iran, South Korea, and Taiwan can deliver to its people. What was promised is not being delivered.

Yeah, no sh/t. You're free to get screened - chest x-ray/ct, flu test etc - and it's a yes or no from there, but when have you ever been able to demand high-complexity testing for an emerging disease based off your google research?

The test is not readily available at those labs. There are a few tests that have been available provided throught the CDC. There have been stories on this all morning, even on Fox, recognizing that testing is not readily available and still is not yet readily available. Dr. Fauci this morning said there are 1 - 4 million that are ready or will be ready, and will be available, but there has been a disconnect in getting them distributed.

Dr. Jha's interview is now posted on Youtube. Here' the link and you see for yourself what he says:

It's the same narrative that has been ongoing for over 3 years, Everything Trump does is wrong. Never mind the initial travel ban from China that was scolded as racist by the left, the one that probably saved thousands of lives.

MSNBC is a one trick pony. Every single angle they present is anti Trump, nothing will change.

All 24/7 news networks are editorials. No longer just reporting news. Would be wonderful to get factual news without the opinion of the news anchor.

Fox has a large collection of idiots but they are trumped by CNN, MSNBC and lately CNBC is becoming more and more editorial anchors.

The China travel ban didn't save any lives. It bought time to save lives. Time we squandered by not having testing ready.

It was like a team that hits a 50-yard pass on the first play of the drive to get to the other team's 20. Beautiful, now punch it in. Instead, we have had a bunch of holding calls, fumbles and plays going backwards. Now lining up for a 58-yard field goal attempt.

It was still a nice throw though.

---

I don't disagree with you in theory about buying time, but there is no way the travel ban didn't save lives. More cases of the severe version of the virus would have been introduced into our population without the ban. It is impossible it wouldn't have happened. The laws of multiplication of these viruses means the more severe version would have gone unchecked until the US got serious out it. I'm not saying we handled this well, I am saying the initial response saved lives.

Yeah, no sh/t. You're free to get screened - chest x-ray/ct, flu test etc - and it's a yes or no from there, but when have you ever been able to demand high-complexity testing for an emerging disease based off your google research?

It's the same narrative that has been ongoing for over 3 years, Everything Trump does is wrong. Never mind the initial travel ban from China that was scolded as racist by the left, the one that probably saved thousands of lives.

MSNBC is a one trick pony. Every single angle they present is anti Trump, nothing will change.

Narrative? You mean people are not sick or infected or not tested.
The coronavirus doesn't care if it's a narrative or hoax or Obama's fault. It's going to its deadly magic. Teeets do not scare it.

41 dead in the U.S. 31 in the state of Washington.

This "event" has forever changed America and our way of life. Even more so than 9/11/2001. Very sad. We have burned down the house to get rid of some termites.

Nothing is forever.

Western culture made a conscious effort to suppress the horror of the 1918 pandemic ...and largely succeeded.

2 years after a C19 vaccine is perfected and distributed we will have some other kind of distraction . 24 hour news channels will make sure of it .

You can oppose administration policy and still get 4 when you add 2+2.

Dr. Ashish JHA, Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute gave an interesting interview this morning on MSNBC. He said this morning the CDC is the best public health agency in the world, and this is not the CDC's fault. He said the problem is the administration has tried to down play this and has not taken this disease seriously. He said the president was saying a week ago this is not much worse than the flu, and ignoring public health officials and Dr. Fauci's warnings. He said that senior level officials at the FDA stopped development of a test in this country until very recently. For some reason we rejected the WHO test, made available almost two months ago, in favor development of our own test, and we have had one failure after another, which he said is inexplanable. Health care proffesionals and his friends at CDC don't understand what is happening at the senior most levels. Baffeling. He said that you cannot get a test today in Boston if your doctor needs to order a test, and that very few people are getting tested. He said there are theories the president doesn't want to know how many cases there are, and thinks this will just go away. Johns Hopkins is making their own tests now developed at Mayo. State health officials say no one knows where the numbers of one million test kits are coming from or where they will be coming from that Pence is quoting. He said if you call up your doctor today in Boston to see if you can get tested the answer is no. He said others are starting to buildi their own tests now because no one knows when those tests are going to be arriving and there is no faith the Federal Government is going to be able to deliver on the most basic thing that Iran, South Korea, and Taiwan can deliver to its people. What was promised is not being delivered.

I don't understand this narrative. The test is available at all the big players.

The China travel ban didn't save any lives. It bought time to save lives. Time we squandered by not having testing ready.

It was like a team that hits a 50-yard pass on the first play of the drive to get to the other team's 20. Beautiful, now punch it in. Instead, we have had a bunch of holding calls, fumbles and plays going backwards. Now lining up for a 58-yard field goal attempt.

It was still a nice throw though.

---

I don't disagree with you in theory about buying time, but there is no way the travel ban didn't save lives. More cases of the severe version of the virus would have been introduced into our population without the ban. It is impossible it wouldn't have happened. The laws of multiplication of these viruses means the more severe version would have gone unchecked until the US got serious out it. I'm not saying we handled this well, I am saying the initial response saved lives.

---

I'm not sure that the virus getting a later start in the US means that less people will die. It might be different people dying later.

I will say this-it turned out to be a good decision, but we forfeited either all or most of the benefit we got from the decision. Which I think is a little symptomatic of Trump who likes to re-live his glory days.

You are so far from the truth, you'd better call Lyft to get back home.

But I understand, you are upset and worried about having enough TP and other essentials.

I guess this is your wit being revealed.

Embarrassing, but keep it up.

If you think his facts are wrong (5) then address that. So far you've merely tried to marginalize the source.

Your attempt at pith should indeed embarrass you, but maybe the practice will help you improve.

The source is marginal because it's self serving and needlessly and erroneously political. Sorry you can't see that.
