I know there's another 15 minute Test that one can conceivably do at home looking for FDA approval too. They can't tell if you're infected with a small amount of the virus, but they can tell if you're at a contagious stage when you should stay home

UPMC researchers last week publicly announced they're working on a test that will give results in 15 seconds...... Of course, the bottom line is whether the results have a high degree of accuracy. If they don't, they're not very useful.

If a test can be fast and cheap, it can really boost travel I just came back from Uni and have to quarrantine for 14 days or a negative test. I have my test today, but it will take about 3 days for results. That stops a lot of travel. Instant results will allow for much more travel for those who feel thay can keep themselves safe, but don't want the down time from work.

Don't want to get too political here BUT Florida has a Republican Governor and the theme parks have been open for weeks now with no real issues. Meanwhile, California, which has a Democratic Governor, is getting nowhere with reopening theme parks...

It's almost like there's zero leadership in America from the top down and every state was told to fend for itself. Thanks, Obama.

You got the wrong guy. The Obama administration handed the tinpot dictator a playbook for pandemics, that was then thrown in the trash.

While Disneyland and Knott's are in Orange County, Los Angeles County still has the highest numbers of Covid cases in the US. The greater LA area is still an epicenter for the disease.

Perhaps because it’s the most populous county in the nation?

Amazing how much the map changed from what it looked like the first three months (March/April/May), to what it looks like now. Almost complete confirmed cases difference.

Pretty sure it was a reference to the old "Thanks Obama" meme

In re: to the LA area, look at the voting patterns of the most heavily hit counties surrounding LA county, it goes a long way to explaining the case count

You're probably right, but there are posters here who will run with it if you leave it.

It's almost like the states are autonomous or something

Times like this are proof that that was a pretty bad idea.

Imagine thinking this is true, lol.

 

[RevFreako]

Imagine thinking this is true, lol.

It is, and without delving too far into politics, it's part of the problem.

 

[JungleSkip]

Google “Federalism”

I disagree, IMO It's a good idea for the governors to make decisions about their respective states and limit federal government power as much as possible.

Even in a stressful time.

Guys, drop the political talk.
