CDC won't release TESTING guidelines & refused CA to test patient who ended up POSIT

[Truth Detector]

What PART OF P R E V E N T I O N do you not understand? Is this the SAME logic TRUMP? Jesuschrist!!

Answer the question douchenozzel; how many Americans have been infected? How many Americans have died?

How could we have prevented the 80,000 deaths last year from flu symptoms?

[Truth Detector]

Try breathing into a brown paper sack, I hear that helps.

[Truth Detector]

I haven't felt 'pretty' since Jan 21, 2017. Too bad America is so fucking UGLY now.

It sure is; douchebags like you make it nasty and ugly.

[Truth Detector]

PROJECTION 101.

The Trump clusterfuck has just started. He is looking for ways to make him look good. He has no interest in dealing with a pandemic. He showed his interest and knowledge level in his crappy press conference yesterday. Are riightys ever embarrassed by him? I cringe when he speaks knowing something ugly will follow. Trumpys must know that there are real scientific experts in the field of pandemics and medicine, don't they? Pence is not one of them. He is an anti-science Trumpy who has reached his worst level of incompetence possible.

I love how Trump pisses lying, low IQ leftist hypocrites like you off. I hope you kill yourself when he is re-elected in November. Really I do. No one will care or miss a gasbag like you.

They're going to fuck this up people! 2 days ago I read or heard that the TESTING GUIDELINES had not been released by the CDC. I assume that not every tom, dick or harry hospital clinic out there has THEIR OWN! DUH! So the CDC was consulted for 5DAYS by a hospital in SACRAMENTO COUNTY and they weren't 'allowed' or couldn't test because they didn't have the parameters.

The PATIENT TESTED POSITIVE!

CDC declined to test new coronavirus patient for days, California hospital says

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initially declined to test a California patient for coronavirus because of narrow testing criteria, delaying the identification of a new possibly pivotal case, according to officials at the hospital treating the patient.

UC Davis Medical Center wrote in a memo to staff that the patient was transferred from another hospital on Feb. 19 with a suspected viral infection. The hospital requested coronavirus testing, but the CDC initially declined because the patient, who had not recently traveled to countries with outbreaks or been in contact with someone with the virus, did not meet the testing criteria.

It was not until Sunday that the CDC agreed to do a test, and the results then came back on Wednesday as positive.

Officials said the case could mark a turning point as the first case of the virus spreading among the general public in the United States, because there is no known origin for it.

“Upon admission, our team asked public health officials if this case could be COVID-19,” the UC Davis Medical Center said in a statement, referring to coronavirus. “We requested COVID-19 testing by the CDC, since neither Sacramento County nor [California Department of Public Health] is doing testing for coronavirus at this time.”

“Since the patient did not fit the existing CDC criteria for COVID-19, a test was not immediately administered,” the statement added. “UC Davis Health does not control the testing process.”

The CDC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Experts raised concern that the CDC's narrow testing criteria could mean that there are more cases circulating among the general public that have not been identified.

“This raises the possibility that we only think we have few cases in the US, because we have only tested a few hundred people,” tweeted Ronald Klain, who was the czar overseeing Ebola response in the Obama administration.

The California hospital offered reassurances about the risk of spread of the virus from the patient, saying that “because of the precautions we have had in place since this patient’s arrival, we believe there has been minimal potential for exposure here at UC Davis Medical Center.”

A “small number of employees” are being asked to stay home and monitor their temperature “out of an abundance of caution,” the hospital said.

“With testing so limited right now, we're flying somewhat blind, while being reassured that we're not flying toward a mountain,” tweeted Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development who directed the U.S. Agency for International Development's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance during the Ebola outbreak. “I'd be a lot more confident in that message if the pilot could see out the windscreen.”

If any administration could fuck up this situation...the Trump administration can.

They are probably committed to handling the threat as poorly as they can.

Luckily, they have enough ignorant jerks in their numbers to pull it off with dispatch.

Yes yes, we're all well aware of The leftist loon penchant for projection.

[Nordberg]

no known contact.

Known. He was not struck by a miracle. he had contact. Now they have to trace back. Whoever gave it to him is still hot.

[Nordberg]

Your health provider has to think you may have Covid19. If he does, he contacts the CDC. for instructions. Only certain labs are authorized to do Covid 19 testing. The CDC needs to know what cases are real and where they are .

Hello Trumpet,

The Trump CDC is but a Trump re-election campaign Tool..

Too bad it's not the Center for Donald Control.

[PoliTalker]

Hello Centerleftfl,

Yes, it turns out it is! At least for PENCE! PLUS, TRUMP GETS A FALL GUY WHEN IT GOES SOUTH.

Does anyone think for a nanosecond that TRUMP likes Pence? Wants him on his ticket? Remember he didn't want him to begin with. IVANKA and JARED picked Pence BECAUSE he would bring in the EVANGELICALs and the CRAZY among them.

It worked.

Hello Nordberg,

Your health provider has to think you may have Covid19. If he does, he contacts the CDC. for instructions. Only certain labs are authorized to do Covid 19 testing. The CDC needs to know what cases are real and where they are .

And by that time, the patient has already had contact with others...
