    Something I read today that interests me is that Florida is running out of testing capacity and the detection rate is rising rapidly. Wasn't the point of implementing a lockdown to allow states and Federal Government to make sure the testing was in place for the first wave?

    Well, yes. The point of any lock down (logically) is to buy the health care system time whilst bolstering resources for testing and contact tracing. From what I gather NYC has done a fantastic job in this regard. As for other states ... well it's interesting. Here, testing and contact tracing went hand-in-hand from the outset. Granted, the tracing was easier for us given our population size and the number of infected. But the States have equivocated over contact tracing. I could be wrong but I don't believe Texas employ it.

    It's tragic. They half-arsed the lock downs, 100'000+ dead, tens of millions unemployed, wrecked economy and they're comfortably on course right back to where they were in the first place!

    Dr. Anthony Fauci says new virus in China has traits of 2009 swine flu and 1918 pandemic flu


    The H1N1 swine flu and 1918 pandemic flu were both considered horrific viruses that spread across the globe

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/30/dr-a...demic-flu.html


    A strain of flu virus spreading in Chinese pigs has shown it can also infect humans, suggesting that another pathogen with pandemic potential waits in the wings behind the coronavirus.

    The US is no longer an example of anything positive when it comes to fighting a pandemic.

    The mess it is in reflects the fact that the US has had no real central leadership in tackling the pandemic or any national issue since Trump took office in 2016.

    So what they have are individual cities and states like NYC which did the right thing with excellent localised leadership but their successes & gains are squandered by the states which allowed the outbreak to run out of control.

    This is the state of the US today really - a divided and broken nation.
