Only the 400 elite runners where allowed to participate and they had staff positioned at subway stations with signs begging people to stay away and not gather to watch. Honestly, I am surprised they bothered. It didn't work though. Apparently crowds rocked up to watch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not really sure where you’re heading with this? I was responding to someone mentioning that the Chinese’s eat wild or unconventional food. I was suggesting that different cultures eat different foods. Which it looks like you’re agreeing with. I’ve never suggested there was an oyster virus pandemic. So, yeah, good point well made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 7, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2020 Quote How testing failures allowed coronavirus to sweep the U.S. The Trump administration’s decision to forgo a World Health Organization test and create its own had fateful consequences, experts say. On Saturday Jan. 11 — a month and a half before the first Covid-19 case not linked to travel was diagnosed in the United States — Chinese scientists posted the genome of the mysterious new virus, and within a week virologists in Berlin had produced the first diagnostic test for the disease. Soon after, researchers in other nations rolled out their own tests, too, sometimes with different genetic targets. By the end of February, the World Health Organization had shipped tests to nearly 60 countries. The United States was not among them. Why the United States declined to use the WHO test, even temporarily as a bridge until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could produce its own test, remains a perplexing question and the key to the Trump administration’s failure to provide enough tests to identify the coronavirus infections before they could be passed on...

Chindie Posted March 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2020 The US healthcare 'system' is uniquely unsuitable to dealing with things like this. Profit is king and unfortunately profit doesn't really give a **** if a bunch of poor people can't afford to get the help needed to prevent the continued spread of a disease.

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted March 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2020 Have I missed something with this whole toilet paper thing? Does the virus give you rampant shits? Or was it just mentioned by someone and now that’s a self perpetuating panic buying because other people are panic buying? I’m not sure the type of thicko that buys all the hand gel so nobody else can wash their hands has really done any deep thinking. Ever. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
