I love how Sen. Alexander stopped to rub his nose. I wonder how many hands he has shaken so far today. SMH

How insanely greedy is this country that we live in so we’re at the price of medical care in taxes being with they are where the lease prepared on the planet probably to deal with this thing at least we have the fewest amount of tests and it’s blatantly obvious we’ve done nothing to prepare for a scenario like this other than spending money cleaning to prepare for scenarios like this

[lauraz]

Yeah, they are all in the same group and we aren't in it.. They need to be questioned by citizens. All this is just another dog n pony show for us to think anyone will actually be held accountable...

[Toxxsicklemons]

People in suits. Never could you trust them.

[kmossiah]

The real question is what happens to us with no health care.

[jacksonhe]

‪A simple calculation:‬

‪20% of infected will have severe symptoms and requires hospitalization. There are only 924, 107 hospital beds in total in the US. 924, 107/20% = 4, 620, 535, which is the maximum number of cases the US can have before the medical system being overwhelmed. 4, 620, 535/330, 367, 077 = 1.4% of the US population.

So if 1.4% of the US population gets infected, we are doomed! Btw, I did not even count in factors like the unevenly distributed medical resources, the lack of appropriate training, and the people who already have an illness that requires hospitalization. Take this seriously, please!!!

Should go to South Korea and just go through a free drive through and get my vitals checked and my (Covid 19 or SARS part 2) test and be done in 10 minutes. Cut the CDC's and WHO's budget because they're severely incompetent. We're on our own people.

[loveandlighttoall]

Wow . I hope we as American voters remember each and every step that these fools took playing with our health come these next elections

[christinehoran]

Now cdc is having public hearings. When they made guidelines it was done in secret no input

[ayc]

When people are dying..lets limit each question and answer to 5 we can goto lunch..

[lauriesorenson]

Why so long with the new test kits? Unacceptable, CDC!

[xusure]

The thing is that healthcare is so expensive here in the US; China and S. Korea provide all the healthcare for FREE for people who get infected.

[patricksmith]

Yeah, I heard junk plans charging $3000 for a test kit that is $5. Who will agree to be tested?

[conchobar]

The keep assuming Coronavirus isn't in the community, but they haven't tested enough to back up such claims.

[deankwari]

Why do these people answering questions go to answer these questions without knowing anything about what they being asked about some of these questions being asked are really important questions but all they say is they don’t know or they don’t have any information

[cathyqiu]

CDC is so inefficient and not capable, they do not deserve more funding for their bureaucracy and work attitude. US made right decision to ban travel from China, however, CDC did not provide effective test kits and has strict rules to test the people and identify corona virus, they should be blamed for those US people lost lives due to late identification

[mrflinstone]

Watching this now, mid November 2020, and hearing "right now, there are about 100 cases" is just so surreal.
