I am NOT IMPRESSED with Gov Cuomo's message today - DON'T GET TESTED. [View all] Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 OP

THANK YOU !!! Cuomo" Have you come across someone infected?" HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO KNOW?! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #1

Calm down. Cleveland Clinic modified testing criteria as well. we can do it Mar 2020 #24

Its to save tests for those who need them ScratchCat Mar 2020 #2

Ditto. People are in a panic mode, and tons of very valuable tests will be wasted (until we have .. SWBTATTReg Mar 2020 #7

IMO, gathering important epidemiological information is never a waste. Crunchy Frog Mar 2020 #73

What about the point about saving scarce test kits?Especially for patients and staff in hospitals? LAS14 Mar 2020 #77

Because the infected can be asymptomatic .. ***EVERYONE*** ... needs to be tested. EVERYONE!!! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #12

We don't have the testing capacity to test everyone at the moment. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #17

Yes there ... IS ... the capacity Trump just wont call on it. We can have self test for 20 each uponit7771 Mar 2020 #21

"get them here in weeks" TwilightZone Mar 2020 #25

That would be ideal, but trumpft made sure we don't have enough tests Merlot Mar 2020 #18

THIS !!! This shit Red Don is doing is on purpose uponit7771 Mar 2020 #22

I have a child. She's 32. You don't know how old the niece is, you're making assumptions. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #15

RIGHT !!! We have such lack of leadership at the federal level we have to ration test that took uponit7771 Mar 2020 #23

NOT TESTING is TRUMP's PLAN TO HELP HIMSELF, while harming and killing more of us. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #35

Also, I think I've heard the tests babylonsister Mar 2020 #19

Cut the crap matt819 Mar 2020 #28

The cause of scarcity doesn't erase the fact of scarcity. nt LAS14 Mar 2020 #78

True matt819 Mar 2020 #79

From the discussion I heard on WNYC yesterday, my understanding marybourg Mar 2020 #3

No its not, we can still test and isolate RIGHT NOW. If we test, isolate, hunker down and clean then uponit7771 Mar 2020 #14

🙄So you know more than experts. OK🙄 we can do it Mar 2020 #27

You mean the ones in Hubie China !? Those experts ?! or the complete fuck ups in Red Don's admin?! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #30

I'm not convinced Bookworm2586 Mar 2020 #52

true, we'll see .. end of month if the infection rate goes back up like in Singapore we're screwed uponit7771 Mar 2020 #57

China also had people locked in houses by the barrell of a gun! forthemiddle Mar 2020 #80

Health people stay home with sick people? Thanks makes no sense uponit7771 Mar 2020 #81

Yes, all those things are included in mitigation, but not contact tracing. marybourg Mar 2020 #38

One hopes this is only due to a lack of testing capacity flamingdem Mar 2020 #4

Of course it is. He is right. Squinch Mar 2020 #10

Cuomo also is saying he has no intent to quarantine Beringia Mar 2020 #5

I live in NYC and agree with him Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #6

NO NO NO !! Cuomo said take the sick daughter home, for what? To get everyone else sick?! This uponit7771 Mar 2020 #16

Thank you. nt Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #26

You know that Cuomo can not get all the tests that are needed? Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #31

Then his message should be "We don't have enough tests" and Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #37

I think he is being realistic Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #40

His message of "DON'T GET TESTED" is going out to the whole country and the world and Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #42

He is the governor of New York and is speaking to New Yorkers. Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #46

Well right now his addresses are being carried everywhere, so I will address him. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #54

Michigan and Wisconsin state labs are triaging testing. Kaleva Mar 2020 #8

I'm guessing that it's because there's no treatment anyway. So unless she has severe symptoms Dream Girl Mar 2020 #9

So we continue Trump's strategy of not testing, not knowing so it can hurt him less Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #29

I'm not defending it, just posited a rationale Dream Girl Mar 2020 #32

Im sorry, I was expressing my anger at what is going on - not you. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #43

So worries.we're all on edge. Dream Girl Mar 2020 #44

Do you not get there aren't enough tests for everyone yet? brush Mar 2020 #65

I'm just tired of Cuomo, period. Coventina Mar 2020 #11

Why do you spend 5 hours a day doing that? Kaleva Mar 2020 #13

Well, I don't. I've been listening (not really sitting and watching) Coventina Mar 2020 #33

Well, living in FL, I think you're lucky to have him. nt babylonsister Mar 2020 #20

Oh, I don't. I live in AZ. But he's on MSNBC for 23 hours a day, it seems. n/t Coventina Mar 2020 #34

Giving out much more useful info than trump's shit show though... brush Mar 2020 #66

Yes, I do agree. I just wish he didn't repeat himself so much. n/t Coventina Mar 2020 #69

When enough tests are not available, Progressive dog Mar 2020 #36

When there are not enough test available ALL the Governors messages Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #39

The CDC sets thenguidelines for testing Progressive dog Mar 2020 #41

That wasn't his message today at all.Cuomo didn't say I'm following guidelines BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #45

Yes, the governor who was the first to get approval for Progressive dog Mar 2020 #47

Because he said so. nt Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #48

This is what Cuomo actually said Progressive dog Mar 2020 #49

Where's your link to the transcript? Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #53

People who don't post a link to the transcript in their OP Progressive dog Mar 2020 #58

Oh good god. That's not a transcript. Talk to me when you have one. I was Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #60

Cuomo was WRONG and needs to stop telling people with symptoms NOT to get testing. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #51

Cuomo was not wrong. He said this, not what you claimed Progressive dog Mar 2020 #55

AGAIN - Where is your link to the transcript? Let's see it. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #56

I heard his words first hand. Obviously you didn't, and you don't have anything to back yourself up. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #63

Here is the transcript, I also heard it first hand Progressive dog Mar 2020 #64

Thanks, because that transcript bears out EXACTLY what I have been saying. HE'S WRONG. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #67

No it doesn't, it explains why his niece should not be tested Progressive dog Mar 2020 #68

It explains how to accelerate the spread of a deadly pandemic, that's what it does. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #70

Now that is some BS Progressive dog Mar 2020 #71

Not testing for contagious disease discards vital epidemiological data NEEDED if the goal is Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #74

That is even more misinformation that could prove Progressive dog Mar 2020 #75

Agreed! Thank you. crickets Mar 2020 #50

Why is he saying it matters whether or not you've traveled to a "hot spot"? Crunchy Frog Mar 2020 #72

I think we are in a mode where it is best to just assume you have it. Cuomo seems to know Hoyt Mar 2020 #76
