Contamination

This is a buried lead that may have big consequences in the future.


FDA official Timothy Stenzel went to the CDC on Feb.22, and was made to wait *overnight* as CDC got their act together.

On the 23rd he was allowed onto the campus, where he noted there were various instances of contamination and poor quality control at the center. This led to corona virus tests being delayed, but also reclassified how to tests should be applied. This led to higher tests results.

In short, CDC lab was not getting accurate results for corona testing due to poor quality control. Imagine if this was one of the deadlier bugs that was kept there?

Hiring and promoting people based on merit (not cronyism, nepotism, or seniority) could "cure a lot of ills" (pun intended) in government as well as commercial contexts.


Yes, I know, its nah gonna happen, we're fucked, and we may as well just play around here and go out with a bang.

That's my .02.

Since we're all gonna die from Covad, can we take all the New Green Deal money plus the Bullet Train money and just have a big kegger? Throw in the M4all money and we can do BBQ too.

$96 Trillion buys a party!

Let's do it at Dood's single-wide though, I hate KP.

96 trillion buys a party?

Someone should have told Bloomberg. He thought he could buy a party for 600-700 million.

Without Bernie being able to get to 1991 delegates... it’s over. The party and the Super Delegates are behind Joe. The only way Bernie had a chance was to get to the delegate tipping point.

Looks like neither will. First vote will fail to reach consensus on a nominee. 2nd vote will be heavily weighted by Supers for Biden.

Bernie gets fucked again... with no lube.

Bernie might as well bow out now, the only thing that might save him is some sort of Biden scandal between now and the convention.

Kaiser, this fucktard is different, exceptional!

No director (a Trump appointee) in the CDC’s history has come in with so little public-health experience as Redfield. He never ran a city or state public-health department before, or have worked at the CDC itself.

He still sits on the board of Children’s AIDS Fund, which championed abstinence-only education as a method of combating HIV and other approaches grounded more in religious belief than scientific evidence.

Forget the virus.
forget politics.

only Q: when will YOU die?
tomorrow? next week? next month?

go party, go vacation, spread the virus,
KILL THE EARTH.

BE CAREFUL.
many other ways to infect the body.
the male/female way.
what a way to go!

How apropos if Bernie, the non-Democrat, starts running ads portraying Biden as a crooked influence peddler, lol.
Biden IS the only one we know for sure that committed a "quid pro quo". A crime that's now being investigated by Ukraine and the DOJ.

Upsilon.... isn’t that the same post you posted somewhere else?

I don’t know about you.... but I am comforted by a CDC Director that is tied to science. Sometimes the miraculous is what you need. Prayer changes things!

Do you have any idea how many times I have prayed: Oh please God. I’m sorry... I know a condom is supposed to work better than prayer.... but I am trusting you right now that none of those swimmers will reach the destination...

Or

God please let that be a cold sore! Simplex 1, simplex 1, simplex 1! Please!

All of my prayers have been answered.... so you keep washing your hands and think that’s going to protect you.

Wal-Mart People are smarter than Costco people?

If you're hunkered down, I get the TP (try wiping your millenial ass with an electronic device and you'll realize why boomers still get newspapers delivered. Plus, on most days, you can paint some politicians face with your doody).

But water? Is Covad gonna shut off my tap?

I posted this on another blog as well; these are conservative numbers. This is why we all need to take this seriously.

Although the World Health Organization (WHO) says the death rate is 3.4%, that is of known cases of Coronavirus. Since our response has been so bad in the US in producing and sending out tests, those infected may be much higher than reported, so the actual percentage of deaths should be a lot less. Let's say it is around 1% for argument's sake.

The Coronavirus spreads very quickly and effectively, and it is claimed that 40% to 70% of the US population will be infected within one year (it was revised down to 20-60%, but I've read 70% in other articles). Let's use the 40% number:

331 million people x 1% x 40% = 1,324,000 people would die in the United States alone

Or at 20% (best case scenario):

662,000 people in the US would die or 30,800,000 worldwide would die

Again, those at high risk are the elderly and those with chronic health issues. The healthcare system in the US is not prepared for this. South Korea's death rate is 0.6%, but their healthcare system is much, much better than ours.

The vast majority of the US population will be fine, but the elderly and those with chronic health conditions should try to isolate themselves in some way until a viable treatment is developed, which will likely be at least one year to 18 months away.

@Kandi_Kat89

You don't need to wash your hands every 20 minutes unless you're exposed to people or things that can be contaminated.

You shouldn't shake people's hands to minimize exposure, and if you touch things like door knobs that may be contaminated, then washing your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water is effective.
