Looking at TN and GA reported numbers I noticed what you noticed, big surges of new cases on Wednesdays and Thursdays and then drops over the weekend into Tuesday. Must have something to do with how these tests are being processed and reported.

Yes, but at least we are trying to do the testing. 1.6 million + tests.

Look at the UK's numbers. 5,000 dead out of 47,000 confirmed cases? That's a load of bollocks. The NHS looking pretty weak right now.

Here's the study: 'Mitigating the Impact of Pandemic Influenza through Vaccine Innovation' The Council of Economic Advisers September 2019 https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-conte...emic-Influenza-through-Vaccine-Innovation.pdf

It's a boilerplate discussion of vaccine production preparedness. Period. There's no imminent or specific warning. The study notes four influenza pandemics have occurred in 100 years and that we should look at ways of decreasing vaccination response times and deviate from egg production. In short, there is no actionable intel regarding COVID-19 or any pandemic, and therefore nothing to 'heed' regarding the U.S. outbreak. No surprise; that is the very nature of pandemics.

But man! - wasn't that a good meme while it lasted!

Well I for one can't think of a time in history where demonizing "the rich" didn't have fantastic consequences.

So summarize all the articles, "The rich spend their money to buy more stuff than other people including groceries, trips, and medical care."

Shocking and appaling stuff.

it was more that higher income earners are in a better position to isolate and work from home, or just not work. hopefully, this thing blows over soon. if people start getting hungry, it's going to get ugly.

Assuming arguendo that if God's doing this to us, isn't more likely because he wants to show us electing Trump was a really dumb idea?

Liberals and Conservatives that believe in God are starting to discuss God's pleasure or displeasure with things that are happening in the world. This is a long discussion that cannot be solved in short posts nor do I have the energy to tackle it with my thoughts.

Consider we are at Palm Sunday going into Good Friday and Easter with a worldwide Pandemic. Though it started in China, where it started is not as important as the fact it started. Each year society turns it's back on God more and more with more acceptable immortality. At a personal level, there are numerous things I need to get better at as a person.

Maybe if the discussion progresses then I will get more engaged. I'm not sure if it's being discussed in the Bible thread.

California Providing Millions Of Dollars For Illegal Alien Business Owners Not Covered By Coronavirus Stimulus

California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed that his administration is providing economic relief to businesses in his state that do not otherwise qualify for federal aid, including those owned by illegal aliens.

“[W]e always consider those that are documented, those that are undocumented, those that are living in mixed-status families,” Newsom said Friday during a press conference. His remarks were in response to a Telemundo reporter’s question about what he was doing to support undocumented workers.

California’s government, entirely led by the Democratic Party, is working around such restrictions by digging millions out of its own coffers to dole out to the illegal alien community. (RELATED: Democrats Introduce Bill Giving Coronavirus Relief To Illegal Aliens)

REPORT: More Than 40,000 People Have Arrived In The US From China Since Trump Restricted Travel

Tens of thousands of people have arrived in the United States from China since President Donald Trump restricted travel to the country following the coronavirus outbreak, The New York Times reported Saturday.

All told, 430,000 people have arrived in the U.S. since the Chinese officials disclosed the deadly virus in January, the report notes, citing an analysis of data collected in both countries. The virus originated in Wuhan, China, and has killed tens of thousands of people.

Passengers continued traveling from Beijing to Los Angeles and New York under rules exempting Americans from the clampdown, which took place Jan. 31. Roughly 279 flights arrived in the U.S. from China, according to the report, noting also that the screening process was lax.

NYT’s report also suggests the screening process was permissive in areas, according to interviews with passengers.

“I was surprised at how lax the whole process was,” Andrew Wu, who landed at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight from Beijing in March, told NYT. “The guy I spoke to read down a list of questions, and he didn’t seem interested in checking out anything.”

Momentum grows to change medical supply chain from China

Calls are growing for the U.S. to reduce its dependence on China for key medicines and supplies as Americans face widespread shortages in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

While the U.S. supply chain's heavy reliance on China for medical manufacturing has been glaringly apparent for roughly two decades, both lawmakers and administration officials say the virus has exposed just how vulnerable the country is as it leans on Beijing and other nations to help provide the tools necessary to combat the pathogen.

Peter Navarro, President Trump’s economic adviser, pledged this week that the United States would move away from its reliance on other nations and towards building up its own capabilities to produce drugs and medical supplies.

The concern is bipartisan. Three Senate Democrats backed legislation put forward by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) last month that advocates for the U.S. to reprioritize its productive capability in order to achieve less supply-chain dependence on China, particularly as it relates to products used in the federal health care system.

Their concerns followed the 2019 annual report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, which warned Congress that U.S. consumers, including the military, are “heavily dependent” on China for drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), arguing that this “presents economic and national security risks.”

Altogether, the U.S. imported more than $12.7 billion worth of pharmaceuticals and antibiotics, medical devices and food products from China in 2018, according to Rubio, who wrote a February op-ed warning about the U.S. reliance on China. He noted that these numbers do not reflect APIs. China is believed to supply roughly 80 percent of APIs to the U.S.
