    TBF, the US is performing the most tests per day and since most of our tests are PCR, they have a very high success rate. Granted, our per capita testing is low, but still doing a lot.;)

    If the money got to the right people, that means it was a huge success...the money went out quickly. That's really hard to do.

    But I'll bet lots of the money went to the wrong people.

    No because this guy showed up for work, took questions and had press conferences. This will be another "no-show" job like the last press secretary had.

    Let's dive deeper into this and ask for the esteemed TV doctor speaking on the trusted news station of FoxNews to tell us which study he was referencing. I took a look, but could not find what he was talking about. There is one article, but it was talking about unmitigated infections. It seems to have come out today, so I'm sure it was not what the TV doctor was talking about.

    I think you missed my point. You are talking about how this gets talked about in a textbook. I'm not disagreeing with that, as I said in my post. But I don't think that 10 to 15 years on it will get much major play because, as an example, a flu which killed 675,000 people in the US, IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED. Like John said, it will probably be mentioned in some economic aspect, which would be wrong to do, but that is probably what will happen.

    The pressure on PM Trudeau to ignore Trump's wish to reopen the border has started. Ontario Premier Doug Ford had strong words about this

    It'll be mentioned in passing, something along the lines of 'voted out of office following several scandals and an economic downturn following a flu epidemic'.

    Does the article give any reason to assume that Trump's administration would be the least bit competent should it actually seize the medical supply chain?

    Disclosure, I work in Insurance. Looks like states are drafting bills to force insurance companies to pay for business income related to the shutdowns even if they had viruses listed as an exclusion, let alone no physical damage to their location which is the trigger for business income coverage. Although on that last point, there are lawsuits by restaurants arguing that the presence of the virus physically damaged the location, so it should be a covered loss. If these pass and Insurance companies are forced to pay claims for stuff that is specifically excluded on a policy, that is just going to open up a whole can of worms.

    Here's a link to a story about this:
