  - YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT! -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 17:20 4

NYC councilman says testing is pointless at this point, focus on how many need intensive care etc. thoughts? -- (link) - JackDawson Mar 22, 16:35 20
- I get that he’s charing the Health Committee, but unless he’s being backed by medical professionals, I don’t think he’s right. -- nm - Qale Mar 22, 16:45
- Their concern (which I think is founded) is the worried well and those with minor symptoms jamming the hospital/test system -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 22, 16:43 2
  - Worried well are a massive issue. It's about symptomatic people. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:45
  - Plus all those worried well/minor symptom people that don't have COVID are *exposing themselves to it* by being there -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 16:44
- Not sure it's pointless. Now is the time to figure out what are priorities and where to focus efforts. Currently it appears securing supplies and sp - VMan Mar 22, 16:39 9
  - Isn't it ironic Trump failed to protect the borders? -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:40 8
    - Which one? In what way? Not sure what exactly you are referring to. - VMan Mar 22, 16:46 7
      - He is so obsessed with protecting borders, and his infantile obsession is walls. He failed to protect our borders from the genuine threat of virus. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:47 6
        
        Ah. Well, no one truly could have. However, I guess some sort of pandemic panel (which he apparently cut) hopefully would have had better prep and a - VMan Mar 22, 16:54 5
        
        1000% wrong. He was fully informed of threat since January. Loudly downplayed it and MOCKED it until mid March. Refused WHO tests. Egregious negligence. -- (edited) - loosilu Mar 22, 17:06 2
        
        Sorry, as I have said before, the Internet is bad for this. I am thinking some of my tone was lost. - VMan Mar 22, 17:15 1
        
        thanks for clarifying! god knows it's so hard to hear tone these days. :) -- (edited) - loosilu Mar 22, 17:19
        
        I think the point is that it’s silly and pointless to think of borders in his way in the interconnected world -- nm - JackDawson Mar 22, 16:59 1
        
        Like a 6 year old, he thinks he can put a line of tape down the middle of the bedroom he shares with his brother. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 17:07
- I don't have to read. He's wrong. Every successful response has included extensive testing. There is no way to plan for intensive care without testing. -- nm* - loosilu Mar 22, 16:36 5
  - Well he’s saying assume you all have it please don’t leave the house with mild symptoms for tests because you’re distracting our health providers -- nm - JackDawson Mar 22, 16:47 4
    - I think this is a case of crossed messages. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:48 3
      - Sort of like developing this new term “Social Distancing.” Everyone was like lol whut? -- nm - Qale Mar 22, 16:50

      - Our Democratic Governor is spineless. The mayors (25 from the biggest cities in Oregon) are trying to pressure her to do it. - Bacon Mar 22, 16:26 5
        
        That sucks. And that's exactly where there needs to be a strong federal response, not a patchwork across states and municipalities. What a cluster. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:29
        
        PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) – Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says he is ready to act on a stay-at-home order for the city on Monday if Oregon Gov. Brown doesn’t - Bacon Mar 22, 16:28 3
        
        Honestly Donnie should have announced it a week ago. Patchwork orders are a disaster. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 16:29 2
        
        He doesn't want it on his hands. Now he can blame Governors for crashing the economy. -- nm - Bacon Mar 22, 16:31 1

  - I'm going to say this again. If your employer does not allow WFH, call in and say you had direct contact with someone who tested positive. - loosilu Mar 22, 16:21 1
    - Dear employee, because of your exposure, we've sent everyone home, so you are now able to work in the office without contact, k that would be great -- nm - HR Mar 22, 16:23

  - But the red states people aren’t listening to the media - I think there’s a responsibility to them to report accurately and dispassionately- the gover - JackDawson Mar 22, 16:02 1
    - They listen to Faux News, which at this time is basically trying to kill off their audience. - loosilu Mar 22, 16:28
