Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have isolated “the smallest biological molecule” that “completely and specifically neutralizes” the virus that causes coronavirus. The antibody component is 10 times smaller than a full-sized antibody, and has been used to create the drug Ab8, shared in the report published by the researchers in the journal Cell on Monday. The drug is seen as a potential preventative against SARS-CoV-2.⁣

I personally haven’t trashed DeSanto or Kemp (on this issue, anyway) nor have I praised Cuomo. You won’t see me really doing that either mainly for two reasons.
1. I think governors, in general, were hung out to dry in this pandemic.
2. I didn’t have an opportunity to vote for/against any of these people and I don’t anticipate having that opportunity next election.

Could not disagree more with the bolded. The Federal role is assistance. Governors hold the responsibility to serve the citizens of the state. The Feds could have done better (CDC in particular failed it's job) but ultimately Governors control the bulk of decision making both in preparedness and action.

Governors control public health resources and health care facilities within their state.

I know the old tired conservative line, I don’t need it recited. If public health is state responsibility then what does is the purpose of the CDC, NIH, and HHS (all of which are much better funded than any state DOH)?

no it hasn't....I have seen the actual medical reports of other areas where GSWs, Stage 4 colon cancer, Heart attack patients were being classified as COVID deaths, when they werent.

There were also so many false positives and misinformation overall early on, there is no way the number is that high

Of the 200k I bet 90% of the deceased would not have died yet during the last 6 months. Now as far as mismanagement in the Nursing homes especially in NY , that is a completely different story. The 200k est. death toll as of today will basically hold up when the smoke clears in my opinion.

Then why do states have public health departments?

That’s exactly my point. He said them though. Everyone also knew that Trump wasn’t telling people to drink bleach.

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds—it sounds interesting to me.“

Ok, please provide us with some examples.

-“They have to treat us well“ - Donnie on Governors

- The avoidable bidding war between states for medical gear.

- FEMA chief says they’re using the DPA, then literally the same day doesn’t use the DPA

- Feds aren’t transparent about testing capacity, even with the states.

- Zero contact tracing coordination by CDC with the states despite this tweet from Pres on Feb 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

- Waited until March 13th to declare a national emergency, locking up that federal funding until it was too late to prepare.

- Feds don’t take any initiative on shut-downs one way or the other, but then try to take initiative on opening up.

- Trump claims to have the legal right to overrule governors’ shelter-in-place orders, asserting at a press conference that the president’s “authority is total.”


And on, and on, and on

NYT:

"Trump defended his handling of the coronavirus pandemic during an interview with Fox News over the weekend, arguing that he took “tremendous steps” early in the outbreak, which “saved probably two or two and a half million lives.”

But the rest of the world does not appear to share in the conclusions of his self-appraisal. In a new poll of 13 nations released Tuesday, a median of 15 percent of respondents said the United States had handled the pandemic well, while 85 percent said the country had responded poorly.

The data, released by Pew Research Center, suggests that the international reputation of the United States has dropped to a new low in the face of a disorganized response to the novel coronavirus that saw the country come to lead the world in virus-related deaths.
