This is directly from whitehouse.gov:

Core State Preparedness Responsibilities

TESTING & CONTACT TRACING
* Ability to quickly set up safe and efficient screening and testing sites for symptomatic individuals and trace contacts of COVID+ results
* Ability to test Syndromic/ILI-indicated persons for COVID and trace contacts of COVID+ results
* Ensure sentinel surveillance sites are screening for asymptomatic cases and contacts for COVID+ results are traced (sites operate at locations that serve older individuals, lower-income Americans, racial minorities, and Native Americans)

Opening Up America Again

Proposed Criteria for Phased Reopening

* ALL VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS should continue to shelter in place. Members of households with vulnerable residents should be aware that by returning to work or other environments where distancing is not practical, they could carry the virus back home. Precautions should be taken to isolate from vulnerable residents.

* Avoid SOCIALIZING in groups of more than 10 people in circumstances that do not readily allow for appropriate physical distancing (e.g., receptions, trade shows)

* Continue to adhere to State and local guidance as well as complementary CDC guidance, particularly with respect to face coverings.

* SCHOOLS AND ORGANIZED YOUTH ACTIVITIES (e.g., daycare, camp) that are currently closed should remain closed.

* VISITS TO SENIOR LIVING FACILITIES AND HOSPITALS should be prohibited. Those who do interact with residents and patients must adhere to strict protocols regarding hygiene.

* LARGE VENUES (e.g., sit-down dining, movie theaters, sporting venues, places of worship) can operate under strict physical distancing protocols.

BS... the point is trump could have adopted any of a number of testing procedures but he chose not to.... instead he dragged his feet putting the lives of many at stake ( a cautious tale of rank stupidity).

As I recall, the CDC early on repeatedly--repeatedly--said they saw no reason for widespread testing, but also that there were few tests available. Also, there were countries getting faulty test kits from China. Not only were tests not available, but PPE was depleted and bought up so that it was unavailable.

The upshot of the CDC protocols (which included "no masks needed") was to allow the virus more chance to spread early on, then later make it seem like it was getting worse by comparing widespread testing to almost no testing earlier. Despite "apples to oranges," both approaches made the conclusion to lock down seem more reasonable to those listening to the Dem media.

And he acted quicker than Democrats wanted him to. Democrats wanted no travel bans. Pelosi said go to the movies, go to China Town.

POT:S listened to the medical experts at CDC and others, and followed their recommendations.

The “experts” failed him and failed America.

But he is such a stable genius. My God man, do things so critical to the nation escape his genius capability to act correctly or must we citizen's have to endure another 4 years of such a stumbling, bumbling ‘genius’ ?

Strength & honor.... and intelligence. Three qualities severely lacking in this elected official.

Peace, peace.... there can be no peace

I don’t think POT:S is actually running the labs that are developing the tests. He is not actually running the tests to develop a vaccine. People who are trained in those areas are doing that. Experts are doing that. He listened to the experts. They failed him and the country.

POT:S acted decisively. He shut down travel from problem areas and dems called him racist. If we had listened to dems, hundreds of thousands more deaths would have occurred.

Strength, honor, integrity and intelligence are qualities our POT:S has in great abundance.

Four more years would be a great blessing for this nation.

peace to you

In other words I’m spending the majority of my time at my wife’s bedside who is fighting for her life. The chemo treatments are making her very sick and so causing he kidney failure.... and also to hold her hand thru painful back surgery she just went thru because one of the 5 tumors in her back fractured the back. Now I’d love to debate you on all those points, actually In The Light should because it’s his post, I’m just making my sick wife my priority right now....get it!
