This could be a huge mistake in his campaign, saying that the US situation is fine. The CDC is not testing enough. There are drs that can't get test kits b/c CDC is not sending them out. That's why our numbers are low--b/c people aren't getting tested. Trump needs to step up here and not gloss over how bad this could be in the US.
I've been following this as well. Follow Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding on Twitter for solid, up to date info. Someone here suggested him at the beginning--my thanks to you for that. Another comment here---> the Johns Hopkins page, has regular updates on cases, deaths and recoveries by country. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 I've been talking about this damn virus til I'm blue in the face, and few people have listened. I expect that it will be declared a pandemic within the next couple days, and THEN people will panic.
Stock up on paper goods. The raw ingredients for many medications come from China, so stock up on OTC drugs, vitamins, supplements. If you're on prescription meds, try to get a few extra mos if you can. Someone else mentioned mullein tea; also tinctures--this helps w/ breathing. Get an inexpensive vaporizer. Early on on Twitter I suggested stocking up on canned goods--got bashed for that. Uh huh. Disposable glove, antiseptic wipes, masks if you can find them anymore.
So very glad that a good friend got me started on SHTF prepping several years ago.
All that were flown were from the cruiseship, so ALL had been exposed. The ones that tested positive were in the quarantine box on the plane. The other solution would have been to leave them in Japan, which is quickly getting very overwhelmed w/ COVID-19 cases and will soon be in the same plight as China, too many sick people and not enough medical staff/supplies to care for them. All of the people evac-ed on the plane went to a quarantine center on a military base in the US, something that this article conveniently seems to leave out. I'm more concerned about situations like the idiot acquaintances of mine from Utah who are blithely touring around Singapore and Thailand, poo-pooing the idea of wearing masks. So if you see 2 cases of COVID-19 popping up in Utah in a few weeks, that's why.
Thanks for posting this. Our local republican group recently had a talk given by our state NRA rep, who talked about this but didn't mention the bill by name. I searched all over for it online today and could find nothing. Good luck with the fight, pede!
JoePedo is quite accurate.
