Laurie Garrett: U.S. Does Not Have ‘Any Strategy’ For COVID-19 Testing | The Last Word | MSNBC

[@AccidentalHiker1]

When my roommate was feeling sick. Drove him to urgent care. They rested him. Untill the results came back. We all stayed in and waited. No going out for a week. That's what civic duty should look like. Or if you do go out wear a mask and be extra careful to limit contact with others.

[@rjlchristie]

@@Moe-716 Mary waited in until the results came back. That happened to take a week. That is both responsible and correct. If her friend's results came back negative and both she and friend were feeling well then she's free to get on with life. If they came back positive then yes, her isolation would be extended.

The US has no government

[@rjlchristie]

That end is what the Republicans wanted all along.

King Clown Trump is shaping the gov't in the form of master's gov't Putin.

tRump's plan to fight Covid-19: Deny, distract, and find someone else to blame.

[@newmove4378]

Now that the CDC will no longer be provided the daily data. there will be nothing to deny. The figures will be good, almost no-one will die and the hospitals will be labeled as never trumpers.

[@richardalexander5758]

@@newmove4378 Sure, nothing tRump can't make go away with his magic Sharpie.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Sounds exactly the same as Trump's plan for everything he has faced while in office. One thing I would add to your list is line his pockets with taxpayer money.

[@rjlchristie]

...and throughout that claim he's had the strongest victory over it, like nobody's ever seen.

I feel like USA should go online and have a fund raiser because the Dumpster is purposely slowing down the testing you need a go fund me seriously

What I can't figure out is by ignoring George W and Obama guide lines for pandemic combat, why is that not negligent homicide. Also withholding needed equipment for States not 2nd degree murder?

Obama would have had a comprehensive plan to deal with this problem.

[@douglasjcox]

Yep. No question.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

The Obama Administration did have a complete plan. www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/trump-obama-coronavirus-pandemic-response obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/NSTC/towards_epidemic_prediction-federal_efforts_and_opportunities.pdf

Trump has a plan: ignore it, blame others, take no responsibility and then go play golf.

[@AM-ni3sz]

In Australian, you get tested with a wait of less than 30 minutes and get results in less th a n 24 hours. Its not hard. This is normal in developed countries other than the US.

[@rjlchristie]

Same in NZ, but the USA? well, they need to make sure the cheque doesn't bounce and the insurance is valid before they even start.

[@leesimpson1677]

Here in Scotland we had 17 new cases yesterday and no deaths. The wearing of facemasks in shops and public transport is mandatory. I cannot understand the reluctance in some Americans to wear one. It's such a simple thing to do and If it saves even just one life, surely it's worth it.

[@ravenwda007]

Same in Canada

[@rjlchristie]

@Thomas Johnson It's a figurative comment on USA's broken, inhumane and privatised health system. Figure it out.

[@izraulhidashi4323]

In 2013, this woman, who worked for Council on Foreign Relations, talked about Dan Brown's book "Inferno" as nonsense and said there's no chance of a pandemic. She did the same for the movie "Contagion." Then she wrote books called "The Coming Plague" and "Betrayal of Trust". WTF?

[@jerrywalker5429]

If you test isolate until you get the results. And that's your expert WOW

[@FHB71]

Here in Germany (and other countries as well) we have this Corona App. It traces your contacts for 14 days into the past and if one gets tested positive you get an alarm or if you yourself test positive your contacts are alarmed. This of course does not substitute contact tracing, but it covers parts of it.

[@edgeworldpictures6831]

The Testing protocols are so haphazard as to be useless. Drive-through in a Walmart parking lot - that's awesome NOT. Where does the test go? Who handles the test? Who keeps is safe and sound considering privacy issues? A mess. Welcome to the USA.

How can you suggest that doing nothing to stop the spread of the virus . . . is not a strategy ? 😕

TRUMP GETS RESULTS IN SECONDS

[@normansabel1850]

I do not understand why anyone would wait in long lines in their cars for hours to get tested when the information is made useless by the Trump regime.

[@hg1288]

Yes, the value of test has been greatly degraded by Donald Trump such that Testing now is to prepare for more beds, more ICUs, more Refrigerated Trucks...Sighhhh

[@mvvpro8688]

The testing is "perfect" if you are rich, called Trump or don't mind waiting for a week or more and not being sure the result is accurate.
