Breed tweeted that this will go into effect at midnight.

- So, he hasn't taken it, then.Continuity
- lol yup heard it live and thought, ok so the orange bafoon never took the test_niko
- since when is a 1/2 second cheek swab that big of a deal?monospaced
- He also gave himself a 10 out of 10 on his Administrations response to the outbreak ... lolRamanisky2
- he never took the test because he has the vaccine (called Covfefe) and is keeping it just for himself.Krassy

- if you test after a week or two, you will not be positive anymore.api
- We have drive-thru testing centers for medical professionals here. Good to know that Trump has zero idea what he's talking about.garbage
- But I mean, the guy eats McDonald's every day, and thinks that people have a finite battery so exercise brings you closer to death. Not surprised.garbage
- It really seemed like he was trying not to say "yeah it sucks, it kind of hurts, they jam this thing way up your nose"...********
- ... but he doesn't want people to avoid getting tested because of fear of the test. He's probably been tested. This quote isn't evidence of anything.********
- It’s not a cheek swab. It’s a deep nasal swab. Through the nose to the back of the throat.noRGB
- Cheek swab is slang for a normal throat swab, sounds less intimidating. We're doing throats and the process that you described, which is a Nasopharyngeal swab.garbage
- But I highly doubt that the drive-thru swabbing is an NPS.garbage

Just in case you missed the White House News Conference this afternoon...here is a synopsis.
It came out of nowhere, no ones fault, no ones fault. Tremendous, tremendous response. Totally under control, I would rate myself as 10, we’re testing tremendous amount of people. The buck usually doesn’t stop with me, it’s unusual and very special, it came out of nowhere, invisible enemy. Hopefully it will pass through. We make some certain decisions. Much about what we know, it’s a lot you know. Such a strong team under the circumstances. This will pass and we'll be tremendously stronger.

- Also, he gave himself a 10 out of 10 for his response to the outbreak.Ramanisky2

looking at the latest numbers:
- Europe has more cases now than China
- Italy & Spain death rate is alarming
- Germany has 7,272 cases and only 17 deaths
- Japan seems to have been able to suppress the spread

- Germany is testing a lot more people and has faster results, right?********
- testing more, for sure, yesKrassy
- the recovery rate in Germany is very low though (mlly 67)Krassy
- Germany also have relatively many hospital beds. 12 pr 1000 citizens. In Denmark we only have 3 pr. 1000islandbridge

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”
The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.
The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
The Russians have said “Its not us”

How does Russia have only 90 cases? Not testing? Not reporting?
- Chernobl’ingRamanisky2
- It's like in the old Soviet times. Footage of their dear leader Comrade So-and-So watching a parade was shown, but in reality, he's been dead for four months.Continuity
- Then they announced his death out of nowhere.
Same sort of obfuscation, I'm guessing.Continuity - Right.
In 2020 the world is so connected, there is NO way Russians don't have the outbreakKrassy - I know I said the exact same thin 3 days ago.Bennn
- unless colder temps also keep the virus at bay? Also their blood is 42% vodka._niko
- Less tourism, no testingdrgs
- Vodkashapesalad
- the cold temp is not a factor. Its cold in Canada too.Bennn
- Yeah and we have relatively low cases and only two deaths despite the fact that we’re a well travelled nation with many Chinese and Italian citizens._niko
- If you follow the map the regions most effected seem to be in the wine regions not too hot not too cold._niko
- Russia has strict visa reqs. You can't enter anywhere other that st Petersburg without a visa that you apply for weeks in advance.monNom
- And I read somewhere early on that Russia had restricted Chinese nationals from entry. Also probably not testing or publishing real data.monNom
- deny, deny, deny. They are too busy spreading fake news about Ibuprofen and mortality rates.mekk
- the french and swiss doctors also advice against the use of ibuprofen to treat covid atm.uan
- they even advice not to treat the fever, just manage it. and if lowering is needed then they use paracematol first.uan
- and russia was 1 of the first countries to close border with china...like at start of wuhan alarm. so early isolation is a factor that helped.uan
- Russians invented it. Lacing their water with vaccine for months. Russian Spring incoming.noRGB

Here are some background thoughts about the study that was discussed in media and social medias last week - How long can a Virus on sufaces like door handles, be infectious? The study claims up to 3 days.
Dr. Christian Drosten tries to give an answer to that question. He said it depends strongly in which form the virus is on the test surface. There is a big difference if the virus in a big liquid drop (Labor Technic) or in a small drop that has nearly no volume.
The study was very simple so the results can be questioned. He thinks not that the main problem to get infected is because of touching things, the much bigger problem can be if people are too close to each other.
So, the interpretation of this study can get easily misinterpreted, it's more a technical Study.
In his known experiments on all different surfaces there is no measurement for a virus after mostly max. 8 to 24 hours. It goes down to zero rapidly on Surfaces.
So, in real life conditions if we cough into our hands and there is virus on our hands and we touch a door handle, the liqid volume is much thinner. Cause the liquid is thinner, so it drys much quicker than a drop in the labor on a surface. On the other hand we have to ask, what drop is this? Cause a cell-culture medium is not the same than a cough slime and salvia.
So with a study like this we have to be careful. It is not false, but it is very simplified, so a real infection case can possible not be pictured with it.
Also when the surface is dry there is nearly no virus left on surfaces.
Maybe more important is a big distance to each other.

The Pdcast is puplished on NDR Info (German).
_- so, 'up to 3 days' means 'up to 3 days at ideal temperature, on an ideal surface, in a big liquid drop'. bonus points for 'cough slime'kingsteven

Toplevel scumbag got arrested:
The man contacted the advertiser with whom he had agreed to buy 220 million health face masks, then transferred the agreed amount to the seller in several installments.
As a result of the deal, the customer traveled to Hungary and met with the sales representative, who asked for an additional $ 27,000 before delivering the order. The buyer then suspected and tried to check the company he was doing business with. He realized that the name and public company information of a truly existing company had been misused by using a company name that was deceptively similar to the original name in an advertisement on the Internet, so he immediately reported to the police
(ty google translate :)this involves 2 US entities, their names aren't disclosed.
and a guy from honduras living in hungary,- They all sound like scumbags.PhanLo
