Testing could have been on par with the rest of the world.

Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had praised.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Public health and national security experts shake their heads when President Donald Trump says the coronavirus “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.”

Just shows you HOW corrupt morally bankrupt our pharmaceutical companies are...

NOT sticky at all...

our franchise-model medical system does a solid job at treating the symptoms of the diseases which our society causes; (diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, etc...)...

beyond that, competence varies, and you have various barriers-to-entry


I'm currently dealing with a 'genetic specialist' at the prestigious "Johns Hopkins", who:
misunderstood the issue with my vertibral artery (which the surgeon explained that yea, he 'sacrificed' that artery during the latest surgery) (no advantage to additional corrective surgery, but a 'pain in da neck'/occasional dizziness/symptoms, but instead typed "No blood flow in the L VA, but "Should Not Be Causing any Symptoms" ????? ),...
misdiagnosed the mitral valve prolapse that I've had since I was a todler (again, no advantage to immediate surgery because in a resting state the regurgitation isn't terrible -yet Typed "No M.V.P." in the report),
and whose team not only missed the big heart murmur that any nurse can feel with her hand(ever since my dissection) but actually typed "No Heart Murmur" in the report...

It's like if a doctor, layman, or gov't insurance worker read the 'report', they wouldn't have an accurate understanding. - So I'm dealing with all this, and trying to not feel 'gas-lighted'...

it's enough to make even the most level-headed bloke like myself, a bit 'apprehensive', even.

Have to insert a catheter every time I pee (because of a combination of my genetic disease, and my 9th hernia surgery occurring on December 28th, and having to wait until after 'New Year's holiday break' to get the surgical catheter removed.)
I'm already jack nicholson SHINING level anxious when I have to pray that my medical supply company and my medicare (continue to be denied 'medicaid') will approve each bi-monthly shipment... Hopefully China doesn't stop manufacturing my catheters


**** i forgot the point of all this...


yea... The incentives, and the barriers-to-entry/moats of the pharm industry, the varying competence of the doctors, the varying level of care to the patients...

Today, we are ahead of China and Italy in per capita testing.
His travel restriction did far more for us than testing would have.

"White House press briefing: President Trump will demand that stock buybacks be eliminated for companies receiving bailout."

Good. And the bailouts should be in the form of convertible preferred equity, just like Warren Buffet would demand.

Especially liked that the press were taken to the woodshed by several at this briefing, they were dismayed yet still incorrigible.

This will not end well for them.

It's so incredibly obvious what's going on at every press briefing with POTUS....Fighting over narrative control.

VP Pence has a very calming aura when he speaks.

Chaos is his ONLY chance! Convince the American people that the institutions are failing them. Only he can fix it!

His time is short and limited...

Trump will throw him under the bus in a heartbeat if things get way worse.

I agree why blame an administration that as Trump put it
"No, I don't take responsibility at all."
