They need to test those reporters.
The reporter that ended up actually being on the ccp's payroll could be a ticking biobomb.

I give up.
No, they're still waiting. Maybe all the tests aren't done yet.

To me it's more of a feat to pull off a DAILY press conference WITH all the rest that must be on their plate.

Pretty dang organized when you compare it to Obama always being woefully late to something as simple as the turkey pardon...

I wouldn't put it past liberal media to put an asymptomatic, credentialed reporter into the WH press room. One Typhoid Mary could conceivably wipe out the entire coronavirus task force management literally with a sneeze or cough.

^^ This, absolutely! I had the exact same thought. You know they saw what just happened with the British PM and they're gleefully fantasizing "what if that were Trump?"

I have thought from the beginning that he needs to isolate and watch his back. I don't put anything past these people. I would not be surprised if they were found out to be spreading saliva on the doorknobs of the White House.

"...Full Contact Tracing on the Rez's..."

THERE is something that our "Patriots" are gonna have a HUGE issue with. LONG AGO when Venereal Diseases were something we had a shot at controlling, the person who popped positive for Clap, etc, was sat down and TOLD that the Public Health guys needed EVERY sexual contact he had had, in ANY way. And NOBODY got to claim ANY immunity.

Gonna be FUN coming up.

Wow, they must have a lot of test kits available if they're willing to subject press to daily screenings.

there's something like 18,000 Abbott Lab machines with more coming online daily - it's instant test results - bet the entire WH & Congress people will be tested daily soon ....

Gosh. I'm listening to the News Conference after it ended.

It's sounding VERY hopeful on a number of front.

PPE will be coming out our hearing orifices very shortly.

The US seems to have met the Ventilator/Respirator need and now is embarking on "stockpiling" for the future.

New Orleans has 40 percent of ventilator cases now removed from the machines.

Fauci even indicated we're likely at the "top of the curve." "Still a bad week and its not done yet but maybe the worst is past."

Most of the reporter questions to Trump involved economy or claims issues. Not supply of PPE, releasing the quarantine, or possibility of rebound.

We'll see. So far Owner is not sick - but he's been home mostly. As usual.

I like the company. He's sort of always "on the edges."

He keeps me on edge actually.

i hear pense say that hospitals are looking at "recycling" cloth gowns and (i think) masks for the medical workers. basically, go back to the old way of having a crap ton of cloth protective coverings, and then wash them and reuse. he said they used to do it before, and they are looking at going back to that. i don't think we are talking ebola level here, but you get the idea.

if it goes that way and hospitals revert back to this, i can hear the scream about how all of those people that make those disposable ones will be out of a job. but like many things we have seen with this, if one things changes and goes away, another thing pops up to take it place. there have been some things lost in this new economy, and more that will lose. there are also many things that have been and will be new opportunities. just different. new industries are beginning to spring up from this. we shall see where it goes, i guess.

I always hated the waste involved with all of the disposables. We went to them for a while at work, and the cost plus garbage generated was nuts. Finally had our own laundry facilities installed, (one-time, and insignificant $$ over time) and bought a huge supply of cotton blend...which were cheaper per gown at point of purchase than a disposable. If I needed sterile...I autoclaved. Cloth can be autoclaved literally hundreds of times.

It won't work for gloves, or for N95's but as far as gowns, drapes, towels, bedding go, I say bring back the old hospital laundry room or an outside contract laundry service arrangement for clinics. The closer to "local" our control is...the BETTER.
