Back to Quarantine

There are plenty of swabs in Florida. Replacement swabs are readily available in the event a facility runs short, but spikes in demand can outguess the management of those facilities and catch them understocked.

Oh, and hydroxi coupled with antibiotics ad/or zinc worked in many cases around the world, although big pharma hates that news. So they tested it alone and it did nothing. They won. We lose.

Fauci has been there since day one, years in fact, multiple administrations, the worlds leading expert , etc. we have had a central disease control for decades , the expectation that you throw money and it all goes away is a pipe dream and ignores human behavior.

Much has been said about Asian countries, you can throw the statistics from China out the door unless you are a volunteer propaganda mouthpiece.

South Korea is much different , a peninsula nation with a hard border, essentially an island. A diverse economy with a manufacturing base, I believe they have mandatory military service as well. They don’t rely on resort hotels and Disneyland for economic survival and their citizens trust their politicians decisions for the most part. They don’t need people coming into their country to make a go of it in tough times.

So if you want the South Korean model, secure your borders, build manufacturing industries , everyone in the name of equality gets an eighteen month stint in the military, all without much mobility in life. But they don’t have our constitution and the constant comparing of their results to a giant country like the US is a false proposition throughout. We can’t be South Korea and they can’t be the USA, we need the USA solution period.

Respectfully disagree. The charter of the CDC and other similar federal public health agencies say something like "... when the magnitude of the disease is such that the individual states cannot adequately address the issue, or there is a national interest the federal government SHALL ....." That's why the federal response to a pandemic has been "table topped" at the federal level for years. The feds developed a written protocol for such eventualities??

The feds are required to maintain a stockpile of identified materials to "assist" the States in extremis. I do not recall the document/reg that established that responsibility.

you re right and they did. But it is very difficult for the federal government to override the actions of governors and mayors short of taking drastic actions. In this day and age, any action taken at the federal level ends up being litigated in the courts. Or in the streets.

Legally the FEDS can't. They can only come in IF the governor calls it a national disaster and requests their help. IE when a governor calls a flooding or hurricane a national disaster and the National Guard comes in (for example).

Here in South Florida, knowing what to do has been a complete mess in the past few months. Take the marine industry. Dade County (Miami)-everything shut down- boat ramps, marina's (only owners/capt's allowed- no mechanics/divers/boat washers), fuel docks, boat yards. Broward county- boat yards and marina's open- boat ramps, most fuel docks, etc. closed. Palm Beach-everything was closed. The States needed to step in and set their own rules for the entire state, which they did, but then individual counties added to those and nobody knew what WAS and WASN'T going on.

West Palm Beach is requiring masks everywhere again also now.

Do you wonder why so many millions take to the street? It's not a Pop concert or a new I-Phone, it's about a little justice. Give the People a fair break. Not by their colour or which school they went to.

Be Fair.

I think we may be mixing up military authority with a national health authority The military etc can only be used in a national health issue when the FEDERAL government declares an emergency - local or national. Until then the fed is merely advisory, and can provide materiale. and advice, but can not DIRECT a state in any manner. No national health emergency has been declared that I am aware of. It's a bit more complex than that, but that's the gist as I understand it.

Oh, and may I state, I have blond hair, blue eyes and look like an extra from a Nazi movie, even down to the little round eye-glasses.

My sister is black and very Antiguan. At this this time she normally works in the Poncanos Hills from her base in NYC doing her fittness training. This year is a wright-off and has planned so.

She makes all her students wear a mask.

The people took to the street, many of them, because they were funded by a terrorist group called Black Lives Matter. It had nothing to do with Floyd, as the police officer involved was already charged with murder, and the others there with accessory to murder. Floyd was the excuse to catalyze the destruction of many cities. Pallets of bricks didn't just fall out of the sky in every city they protested in, it was all well organized and arranged.

Your facts are not facts and they are wrong.
THESE ARE THE FACTS:

1. 3M N95 masks- 3M is a publicly held FOR PROFIT company. They are producing as many N95 masks as they can possibly make, knowing that they're making profit on each and every one of them and can sell as many masks as they can produce. They simply are at full production and can't produce more masks than they are making. The Federal and state governments have NOTHING to do with this.

2. NY state has made many bad decisions such as the bail reform law and people being arrested for many crimes and just set free. Same with people not obeying social distancing, they get arrested, then walk right out of jail. Also the NY state hospitals were poorly prepared for ANY medical emergency, underfunded, and under staffed before this pandemic even broke out.

3. The government sent 4,000 ventilators to NY state which went un-used. WHY, because NY state hospitals were understaffed to begin with, and didn't have the nurses and doctors to OPERATE the ventilators and the demand wasn't there. Can you prove that anyone who needed a ventilator was turned away and left to die in NY state???? If so, please post your source and the article.

4. The US Comfort was sent to NY state with ventilators and started to treat covid patients on April 6th, it too went un-used because the demand wasn't there.

"
Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis, commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet and Maritime Component Element-East, said the Comfort would continue to assist in the fight against the pandemic.

“USNS Comfort arrived in New York City to provide relief to frontline healthcare providers, and each patient who was brought aboard ensured one more bed was available in a local hospital,” he said.

“While the ship is departing New York City, make no mistake, the fight is not over, and we stand ready to support the response to COVID-19 in whatever capacity we are needed.”

The ship docked in Manhattan on March 30, and while it was originally deployed to care for non-coronavirus patients, by April 6 it had begun accepting those with the virus as the city’s hospitals continued to crowd.
Vice Adm. Andrew Lewis, commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet and Maritime Component Element-East, said the Comfort would continue to assist in the fight against the pandemic."

The amount of people that acquired COVID in NY State has everything to do with how many people from other states and countries that were traveling to and from NY, AND the population density, more than anything other factor combined.

It turns out that I've had COVID19 and barely knew it. I know this because I've tested positive for antibodies from a blood draw. I'm fairly certain I contracted while snowboarding in Vail in early March (or possibly from one of the many flights/airports required to get back to St. Maarten after the travel bans started). My symptoms were a slightly elevated fever (37C) and a mildly sore throat. Neither lasted more than 2 days. Now I am one of the rare breed of folks who has antibodies, and I've been trying to donate plasma.
I also tested positive for active virus (the PCR nasal swab test) a couple of weeks ago, but a test the following day showed that to be a false positive. As a matter of fact, the reported false-positive rate is roughly 15%.
I've now had my entire crew tested 3 times in the past two weeks. The first test was for a trip to the Bahamas. The second one was to rule out my first false-positive, and to make sure I hadn't infected the crew during the time between the first test and my self-imposed quarantine. And the third was to allow us to avoid quarantine upon arrival in Maine yesterday.

Our Greatest Sportsman having a think.

That’s the point I m tying to make. Many people have been infected and either remained non symptomatic or showed very mild symptoms like you.

I just heard about a 35 year old former crew of us who died a few days ago. China-19 related. He was a free lance bar tender, out of work for 2 months, no unemployment... no money left... didn’t reach for help and OD on pills and booze. I wonder how many have done the same.... we ll never know.

Some people still deny this happens because this is not part of the media narrative.

That, sadly, is going to be a long speach nobody in Washington will be willing to espouse.
