Doctor Says Testing, Tracing The Way To Reopen Economies | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Dr Birx needs to re explain this concept to Disinfectant Donnie before today’s rally.
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet show it. Wheres your proof?
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet Somebody must be rally bored.
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet Good think I still have a box of matches.
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet who still says “playa”? You must be really old, that would explain a lot. Trump Virus 2020.
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet hows your 401k?
Doctor, dont you need to be telling trump, not us or the media? What is trump doing?
he doesnt want to listen because someone else….will take the credit….he cant stand that possibility
Trump is somwhere licking his wounds, thinking up the best way to slither back into the PRESS room and feed us New BS.
Trump? 🤣 Like he would ever ever listen.
We need BOTH types of testing. Yes, we need to know who had it to see the true scope…will be critical to reopening calculations. But still need to know who is ACTIVELY infectious and capable of transmitting the virus.
Exploitation has many guilds in suggestive solicitation
selling the product … ACTIVELY ? So lets assume this alleged virus uses its host as a breeding ground then multiplies in its manifestation in its vendetta to wipe out human existence.. Now tell us another one .. Paranoia is a sign you have Coronavirus if you ever trusted their media again since 911..
We can still only test about 1,000,000 per week (a year to test the US population once)
How hard is it to make these tests? Let me guess… it’s still being constricted by the bid winner from back in February. Use the DPA to seize the patent and mass produce these things if that’s the case, geeeeeeeeeeeeezus
@DrFruedienslipJr “So lets assume this alleged virus uses its host as a breeding ground then multiplies” – Yeah, that’s kind of how a virus works.
@DrFruedienslipJr Yes and stupidity is a sign you have when you trust far-right conspiratorial theory and Conservative ideology.
Lars Jones the company contracting with the CDC doesn’t own the patent for the test. Developed in-house at the CDC then subcontracted the manufacture after their in-house manufacturing of kits produced contaminated testing agents. So…that test belongs to the US Govt. Don’t need use the DPA to seize the patent. Hard to seize what you already own. Other tests…yeah, those are a different issue.
If they do this, we will be able to open it all. Faster.

We should have been able to safely open many states, and some areas. If we had testing. We should have had our pandemic team that was completely dismantled in May 2018. If it were in place approximately 48 scientists around the world watch for exactly this. They stop it as they did during the Obama administration. We would’ve had a hold on it, Italy would not have been affected so badly in my opinion. But Trump said it was a waste of money Because it was not in our country but helping other countries. But we’re smart enough we know that this helps our country. We should never of been here.
@roxannwats You realize Trump was president, and his administration did this, so no it’s not Obama. He left in 2016. I think you are confused about the time .
David Funke
Great response David. Yes, President elect Obama created a pandemic team shortly after the SARS outbreak. It kept scientific research, and epidemics contained from spreading into a global pandemic. The IPOTUS fired them all, broke up the CDC to investigate opioid addiction, alcoholism… and continues to screw Americans. Quite a Conundrum we are in due to stupidity, and jealousy.
The Trumpers have regrouped after the failure of the sarcasm excuse. Now it’s Tara Reade on every thread. I’m sure alien abduction is on their list when this one falls flat.
I thought every accuser is supposed to be believed? It was SCREAMED at us over the media for many months?
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet I don’t think anyone on this thread has said the accuser is not believed.
@yourfreedom isinyourfeet …well Trump p*ssy grabbing came from his own mouth.
@lima leaf frog who cares. Biden been grabbing and attacking em even kids for decadrs… Sick
#metooUNLESSBLUE
There are no apparent short-cuts in dealing with CORONVIRUS. TESTING IS THE KEY .. BEFORE “REOPENING” !
@April Jones-Foston oh I don’t do abortions
@Buddy Ratcliff, ABORTION has NOTHING to do with CORONVIRUS, nor with TESTING !
@April Jones-Foston keep prospective. Neither does 300,000
In 1 year die from medical malpractice
In the US. NY is N not the whole country
@April Jones-Foston let’s not call it abortions its muder
Biden is awful. The fact Trump is a corrupt liar does nothing to rehabilitate Biden, who is also a compulsive liar, and servant of his donors who will do nothing for regular Americans. That is why his ads are an insulting collage of emptiness.
The test are “beautiful” according to Trump. Only problem is, they don’t work. It’s like he prefers his wives.
He prefers his wives until he stops preferring them.
“There is a Middle Way.” Thank you.
And states have to contend with pustules like Jared who interfere with the conduct of public medicine.
the way to reopen the economy is a full 4 week lockdown which we would be done with if we had started at the begining
Without testing and tracing. Opening up will be suicidal.
That’s dumb. 10%-20% of Americans have already had it and didn’t even know it.
Wrong yoh are dieng duped, if it was so bad every ups, usps, and take you would be bead and sick
@Tom Biship WTF
@Boar Stud these people have been wrong since day one, i had it in january. Contracted it in las vegas at a industry show full of china manuf. I was worried about i then. It felt like i had asma, i guess. Its reacts diffrent to diffrent people. Me wife had temperatures on and off for 15 days , kids got a typical sick but the after afects are loose stool often. I dint want any one to get it, but sitting in your house scared to death until after the election is the plan that is bieng pushed. Be smart, wash, cover up and go about your day. With the amount of amazon boxes and fast food, banks contct and the spread has slowed to a halt. NY unless you were there like my friends you would never believe the things that happend wrong big time. Another isue is the virus seem to react like radiation the more you are constantly exposed the worse it hits you. Do what ever you want, i have experiance and went throug bio training in the navy. You decide how you live Not them or me that is America….
@Tom Biship You had the typical flu, unless tested and confirmed positive for COVID-19
A rich corporation doesn’t want any traces or origins of the coronavirus !! Its coming from air, meat, or some type of electromagnetic waves!! Trace it , bring light to it, and shut it down! DUH
Lol. That’s so dumb it’s funny.
It must be awful being around Donnie Dotard when you have an actual functioning brain filled with knowledge.
I guess the salary compensates. Plus brain doesn’t mean you have a spine.
Can you imagine where we would be now if we were in a real dictatorship instead of this trial one! Vote November!
Too horrendous to contemplate!!
That’s hilarious. You actually believe that if this plandemic continues there is going to be an election at all. If this continues there is going to be martial law.
@John Jones You are wrong. You must be one of those Russian bots spreading misinformation.
Those companies don’t care about your health, they care about money 💰 , as soon they get their part of stimulus package they decide to open business. That’s is unbelievable.
It should be a publicly funded March of Dimes kind of project. Not a commercial thing led by greed.
That’s the only way such colossal enemies are defeated.
And states are STILL in bidding wars to get PPEs. I thought it was illegal to price gouge during a national or even statewide crisis/disaster.
I don’t know why they keep talking about testing kits and contact tracing. Can’t test folks if no kits available. Unreliable data and mistakes means test the same people over again. And if this virus is so contagious why haven’t tRump and the large groups around him become infected? No masks or social distancing for them I guess. Makes you wonder what’s going on.
It’s plain crazy that we still don’t have testing, we really don’t know how many people are infected!
Its one thing to be completely incompetent. But when you just keep lying about it, and people are dying, you need to step down.
I hear, “We have tests, plenty of them, more than we need, we have more than any country in the world. Our tests are the best tests in the history of tests.” then trump stops talking and I hear the crying of families who are in mourning.
trump is bankrupt. he is bankrupt of heart, knowledge, braincells and who is paying? Us.
* My silent protests against trump, I will not capitalize his name nor call him president. *
My silent protest is to call him Drumpf which was the original spelling, changed in the 1800’s to Trump. I also refuse to call him by the name of his executive position.
@Carolyn Foster I saw that too! trump means a drum or drumming but I couldn’t find the meaning of drumpf. Actually while searching I said to heck with it because his is no one regardless of name or title. So, you are the first person to share with me. I intend to spread that message because he is so stuck on himself and puts his name everywhere. I bet if that damned wall had been built he would have have his name in lights you could see from the moon.
When does the forced mandatory COVID 19 testing begin?
