The government has been accused of bungling the initial response to the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., in particular by not having enough tests ready to confirm potential cases

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK - Americans, especially those who are vulnerable, may need to stop attending big gatherings as the coronavirus spreads through U.S. communities, a top health official said on Sunday, as investors braced for another volatile week in financial markets.

More than half of the 50 U.S. states have reported cases, including the first cases in Virginia and Connecticut on Sunday. As the outbreak spreads, daily life has been increasingly disrupted, with concerts and conferences canceled and universities telling students to stay home and take classes online.

Germany, which has nearly 1,000 cases, on Sunday urged the cancellation of all events with more than 1,000 people. “I don’t imagine that the degree of the draconian nature of what the Chinese did would ever be either feasible, applicable, doable or whatever you want to call it in the United States,” he said in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that will air on Sunday night. “But the idea of social distancing, I mean, obviously, that’s something that will be seriously considered.

“Unfortunately, you are going to see more deaths, but that doesn’t mean that we should panic,” he said. Communities need to “prepare for more cases so we can prevent more deaths,” Adams said. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the number of cases in New York is now 105 and he expects that to rise as testing expands.“What we are really trying to do here is avoid the massive disruption of closing everything down for two weeks the way China did, the way Italy is doing,” he said.

They would have had to have had a crystal ball and known about the virus last year to have enough tests on hand. This is ridiculous BS.

*without evidence

I mean the word “accused” is putting it lightly! That’s actually a fact at this point.

It's pretty clear.

Its called novel for a reason. It's new never been before, so a lot of research has to occur before a reliable test suite is developed. But disengeious reporting for political reasons is what Reuters does. Maybe research places like biorxlv first would be something to do first.

There was plenty of time to prepare in the United States before the virus got here and that time was not taken advantage of and he instead ignored Science and then tried to say Pence was in charge to try and redirect the blame coronavirus

Yes funding was cut to handle these known to be coming pandemics CIA dusty line of defense

‘Medicare for all - let the government control healthcare!” - same people

Trump yönetiminin koronavirüse verdiği yanıt, Japon hükümeti ile aynıdır. Başkan Trump, Başbakan Abe'nin hatasını taklit ediyor.🤣🤣🤣🖕👉💩DonaldTrump AbeShinzo 売国奴 Traitor COVID19US COVID19japan

And these folks complaining want to go single payer (government run) healthcare? LOL.

And then the tests they finally shipped out couldn't be used because of a 'validation' problem. aka some moron (or sabotager) in the Atlanta CDC lab contaminated the negative control sample with nCoV nucleic acid. Write about this, please. FBI CIA

Remember, it’s new.

Canada isn’t doing much better. According to BC health officials there is community spread. In ON a confirmed case rode public transit for 3 days. Apparently the risk remains low and information will contain it

'accused'

Thank you China for creating this mess...

Democrats have made those accusations for political gain. The USA is doing better than other countries with far less populations. Within the first week a travel ban was implemented. How did democrats react?

They don’t want to count the sick people. Trump lives in denial.

Bull

No shit Sherlock, had plenty of lead time and didn't do anything, but hey I heard Individual1 say we have 'beautiful' tests ready, I feel so much better 🙄 Not

1600 tests compared to 160,000 in S. Korea in the supposed greatest nation on earth? And we're still being told it's contained? What a pathetic joke!

Accused? Pretty sure we can use a bit more certainty on this. Why not use WHO kits instead of defective CDC kits? How is South Korea doing drive-thru testing and the US can’t even complete those recommended by Doctors? Pathetic.

That asshole is going to have us all killed

Amid coronavirus, top U.S. health expert urges elderly Americans: don't get on airplanes, cruise shipsDr. Anthony Fauci offered simple advice to elderly or vulnerably ill Americans in the wake of the outbreak. People plan vacations; pay big bucks to reserve air travel, accommodations and boat resevervations. When the news says don't do what you planned all year for, what the hell are they talking about?

U.S. health official warns on spread of coronavirusA top U.S. public health official said on Sunday signs of coronavirus spreading ... The info is getting better from Fauci & others but still too vague. “Elderly” is misleading. Stats show increased fatalities starting at 50. Also should be age OR underlying illness - just one is enough to not travel.
