@jeanne-mayell The Shock Doctrine feels like the only way to explain this "no-fly" order from only EU countries. All the pundits on MSNBC and CNN are trying to puzzle it out. Wondering is Rachel or Lawrence will invite Naomi Klein on to discuss. BTW here's a silver lining: WHO has announced that DOGS cannot contract COVID-19!! No word on cats yet.
@lovendures Very wise moves to protect the public. Life is changing so quickly, dramatically. At least we can stay connected online!
@michele-b. Today NPR reported that the state governors are angry and frustrated that there aren't enough test kits BY FAR. Illinois governor said he needs hundreds of thousands of test kits and has been asking for them. That early on the feds banned the states from developing their own tests, while at the same time the Feds passed up the chance to use the World Health Organization's tests. Other countries are testing widely but not in the U.S.
“What I am most frustrated about is the federal government has completely mishandled the testing,” Pritzker added. “There aren’t enough reagent, there aren’s enough RNA extraction kits or test kits or tests and the result is that we’ve been left on our own. If he had let our great research institutions, our hospitals, right here in the state of Illinois, not to mention around the country, develop our own tests, we would have been much further along, but they banned that early on. I think they have given up on that now. But it’s late.”
Yes.. my state can only test 15 tests a day at the CDC... LabCorp and Quest Labs have just started testing for it and have to be ordered by your physician..they began on 3-10-20 and have had 3 in our area tested positive confirmed by them...of course those numbers have yet to be acknowledged by the CDC... whom we know orders by Impotus muzzled them.. and .. most likely restrict ability to test and keep current case knowledge available :-(

So WHO let the dogs out?
@cdeanne This seems so true for me. Also, I believe we will be forced to stop taking our lives for granted and come to realize how very fragile and precious every moment of life is.
