Anybody else’s mind blown by “5 cases” in the US, in December 2020?

[chrisd]

Wondering if a “national lockdown” would have possibly worked this early in the pandemic to suppress disease. I’m not saying this was the right thing to do. Just curious what would have happened.

[helloworld-ig]

During 1:00 can you tell me the source of report???

[spenceregger]

Does anyone know why, in a city that has somewhere around 60k beds requires 5 additional hospitals each adding somewhere between 1k amd 2k of additional beds?

It just seems odd that if they were so fast to act and so diligent and prepared, that they would be putting together sooo many resources for emergency hospitals. They are sayinf only 5k infected, the numbers dont seem to add up here.

[spenceregger]

You left out the fact theyve known about this since October amd failed to act, you left out that 3.5 to 5 million left to go home for new years before they locked it down. You failed to mention that 500k left literally the night it was announced, and some estimates say another 300k left after the anniuncement.

Their "quarantine" is an utter failure it seems.

[frugalgardener]

It's beginning of July 2020 United States I still hear news about people waiting in lines for over ten hours to get a test. And I hear of people waiting 7 and even as much as 21 days to get results. ??? Also being sick and testing negative three times before testing positive?
Otherwise this pretty good considering later task force politicized statements....

[frabra]

thank you from italy for this important review

[CMoore]

I have a question. Considering the fact that we know that people who are older and have underlying medical problems will suffer worse and maybe die, if they are exposed to this virus, Why would the United States of America 🇺🇸 put covid19 patients into nursing homes shortly after being released from the hospitals? This is my question, and I would greatly appreciate any answers. Thank you! We Will Get Through This. Stay Safe & Be Strong, Everyone!

[egokillerband]

What was the name of that 2nd drug he mentioned at 10.40? ...RENDESOBIER??

[aeroplano]

Excellent review. It's nice to get the information from people who actually know what they're doing.

[RobertWolfsonMDMSHA]

Wow, so Fauci said " there's no chance in the world that we could do that in Chicago, or to San Francisco". Talk about a 180 degree turn around in thinking in just a few short weeks.
