Like it was said, they are not testing. The City of Houston just opened up a 2nd testing site. They figure if you can't test you can't get results.

They are opening a 3rd site today at Forest Brook Middle School. Keep in mind we are talking FREE/PUBLIC testing sites. Those who test with private companies/clinics are in a different category. They may not have to report their numbers. Those who could afford to pay for testing have been getting tested.Like it was said, they are not testing.

States are testing ... they just aren't testing any and everybody because of the limited amount of tests. The threshold for testing is very stringent. You basically have to be sick to get tested. The CDC is going to soon relax the standards for testing to get more people tested to slow down community spread.

That plus the fact that community spread viruses will always thrive in densely populated areas. Most red states are flyover country. What's ridiculous is that some trumpers are ignoring these facts just to say that this is a Blue state problem. When you bring up Louisiana being a red state, they kick the can and say it's because of the democratic governor. Idiots.
It's too stringent in many places. People with clear symptoms aren't getting tests

Correct....they're also hiding the death count especially in Alabama. These governors in the south are trying to indirectly kill off minorities too by not having testing and providing adequate treatment. Also look at how they are still allowing churches to gather so the virus can keep spreading.

Trump tells CNBC he spoke to Putin, MBS and expects Saudis, Russia to announce 10 million barrel cut
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/tru...russia-to-announce-10-million-barrel-cut.html
President Donald Trump told CNBC on Thursday he expects Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to announce a deal to cut oil production by 10 million to 15 million barrels.
West Texas Intermediate crude surged 24.67% to settle at $25.32 per barrel, for its largest single-day percentage gain in history. Given WTI’s 59% decline this year a smaller gain, of course, now accounts for a much larger percentage move. International benchmark Brent jumped 21% to settle at $29.94 per barrel.
Trump made his comments in a telephone conversation with CNBC’s Joe Kernen.
The president said in a tweet later that a production cut would be “great for the oil & gas industry,” and that the cut could be “substantially more” than 10 million barrels.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who resisted strict coronavirus measures, says he just learned it transmits asymptomatically
After resisting a statewide stay-at-home order for days, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) succumbed to the pressure and issued one on Wednesday. Part of the reason, he said, was that he had just learned some new information.
Kemp said he was “finding out that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs.”
“Those individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours,” he said. He added that the state’s top doctor told him “this is a game-changer.”
It may have been a game-changer, but it was a game-changer weeks or even months ago. That’s when health officials started emphasizing that asymptomatic people are transmitting the coronavirus. The idea that Kemp didn’t know this is striking. But he’s merely the latest top politician to indicate he’s unfamiliar with the science even as he’s making life-or-death decisions for his constituents.

The Trump administration’s botched coronavirus response, explained
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli.../coronavirus-trump-covid-19-pandemic-response
From insufficient testing to a lack of coordination, Trump’s Covid-19 response has been a disaster years in the making.
President Donald Trump’s failure to respond to the coronavirus pandemic didn’t begin with the administration’s inability to send out the millions of test kits and the protective medical gear for health care workers that experts say are needed to tackle the crisis. It didn’t start with Trump’s bungled messaging downplaying the crisis even as it’s worsened, nor with his mid-March insistence that social distancing measures could be lifted by Easter (he later backpedaled).
It began in April 2018 — more than a year and a half before the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the disease it causes, Covid-19, sickened enough people in China that authorities realized they were dealing with a new disease.
The Trump administration, with John Bolton newly at the helm of the White House National Security Council, began dismantling the team in charge of pandemic response, firing its leadership and disbanding the team in spring 2018.
The cuts, coupled with the administration’s repeated calls to cut the budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health agencies, made it clear that the Trump administration wasn’t prioritizing the federal government’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks.

Trump administration revokes reservation status for Mashpee Wampanoag tribe amid coronavirus crisis
https://www.vox.com/identities/2020...wampanoag-tribe-trump-reservation-native-land
While Indian Country was responding to the growing number of coronavirus cases in its communities late Friday, the Trump administration was busy revoking the reservation status of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe in Massachusetts. By taking their 321 acres of land out of federal trust, the Interior Department’s order also removes the tribe’s ability to govern on its land. This process has been done only one other time since the Termination Policy in the 1950s.
While reservation lands are often associated with Indian tribes’ unique ability to oversee casinos, maintaining trust land also allows them to provide critical services to their members. “Our land is sacred. It’s where our people receive health services. It’s where our children attend our language immersion school ... Taking our land is a direct attack on our culture and our way of living,” Mashpee Wampanoag chair Cedric Cromwell said after the decision.
The move by the Interior Department comes at a precarious time, as reservations shut down amid the Covid-19 pandemic. It could also signal what’s to come for other tribes.
“The action by this administration in rendering such a decision is dishonorable and reprehensible on its face, but to do so when we are fighting a national pandemic i

Churches allowed to stay open in states where millions are particularly vulnerable to coronavirus
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/cor...s-with-especially-vulnerable-populations.html
Churches and other religious facilities will be allowed to remain open in more than half of the states that are the most vulnerable to coronavirus, often with special exemptions to mandated closures of non-essential businesses.
Of the 15 states in the nation home to the highest percentage of especially at-risk individuals, at least 11 were not barring religious gatherings as of Thursday morning, a nationwide CNBC review of emergency orders found.
It is not clear how many individuals are continuing to attend religious services or how many facilities have closed voluntarily or under city and local local orders. The White House is urging Americans to avoid all public gatherings of 10 or more until the end of April.
But the exemptions for religious institutions provide some obstacles to mitigation efforts like social distancing that public health officials have said will save possibly two million lives if carried out “perfectly.”

Many hospitals are only saving them for folks who basically need hospitalization and for frontline health care workers. I have seen doctors and state health officials say that. They will tell you to stay home if you're sick because most cases are mild.
Yeah a 30 something was coughing up blood and they sent her home without a test

No, Dr. Desai will not be invited back. Hell, I am surprised that Faux News allowed this to be aired in the first place. If you will notice, the interviewer had no response to him. After he finished talking, she basically said thank you and ended the interview. LOL!!!
But to her credit, the interviewer did say "hope you will come back as we move through this". I though to myself, "you lying beotch". LOL!!!

She should have known that interview was not going to go her way when he was shaking his head while she was "talking". I bet who ever slated him to be on her show got cussed out and maybe fired.

Job losses in March could be the worst in a decade, and that's just the beginning
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/job...in-a-decade-and-thats-just-the-beginning.html
Economists expect a consensus decline of 100,000 nonfarm payrolls, according to Refinitiv. But the survey for the report was done before many states began telling residents to stay home. For the final two weeks of the month, 10 million people sought unemployment benefits as businesses and schools closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
“The main message is the labor market conditions started to slip in March, but obviously with the last two initial claims reports we’ve seen, we know April will be a disaster for labor markets,” said Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Barclays. “We still have two more weeks, and we’re probably looking at an unemployment rate of more than 10% in April.”
He expects the change in payrolls to be flat, matching the level of February 2019. But if it meets consensus forecasts, the last 100,000 decline was in February 2011, when the economy was recovering from the financial crisis.
“The suddenness with which it all slipped off a cliff in two weeks is shocking,” Gapen said. “We now have stay-at-home orders in states that account for 82% of GDP.”
