W.H.O Never Offered Any Test Kits to the U.S.

As President's coronavirus task force made it clear today WHO or any other entity never offered any test kits to the U.S. which U.S. rejected. The test kits being used abroad are 'research grade' i.e. tests never certified by anyone.
A potential problem with WHO tests is occurrence of 'false positives,' i.e. people shown as having been infected when in fact they are not. The tests in the U.S. are presumably more precise. As millions of tests get rolled out in the U.S. this week, this will become moot.
Joe Biden blatantly lied about a WHO test kit. He slandered the Trump administration and the dedicated men and women at the CDC & FDA for political gain. To willfully misinform the American public in the midst of a crisis is disgraceful and disqualifying.

Hey Bloomberg (@bopinion), how is China model looking now?
BREAKING NEWS

China said it would expel American journalists working for NYT, WSJ and WaPo.

China also demanded that those outlets, as well as the Voice of America and Time magazine, provide the Chinese government with detailed information about their operations.

Democratic Debate: Shame on Joe Biden for saying that our hospitals will be overrun with the number of coronavirus cases. Is Joe running for president or auditioning for an anchor at @CNN?
#DemDebate: Bernie Sanders just badgered Joe Biden about the statements he made as a Senator. The arcane argument Bernie made had no traction. His mode of argumentation was very off-putting. My bet is Joe came across as the better of the two curmudgeons.
#DemDebate: Bernie Sanders wants credit for having been a radical his whole life. He is boasting about having been consistently crazy, unlike Joe Biden who is only occasionally crazy. Bernie calls it 'leadership.'

Why Social Distancing Is Important? NOW!

In this theoretical model that resembles loosely Hubei, waiting one more day creates 40% more cases! So, maybe, if the Hubei had declared the lockdown on 1/22 instead of 1/23, it might have reduced the number of cases by a staggering 20k.
And remember, these are just cases. Mortality would be much higher, because not only would there be directly 40% more deaths. There would also be a much higher collapse of the healthcare system, leading to a mortality rate up to 10x higher as we saw before.
So a one-day difference in social distancing measures can end exploding the number of deaths in your community by multiplying more cases and higher fatality rate.

This is an exponential threat. Every day counts.

"The level of media opposition and snark against President Trump is simply so ridiculous at this point there’s a desperation to it.

So let us consider…

This is so disingenuous. I can’t believe the WHO would say it - and I am shocked that they are not being called out for it. This 3.4% number is the deaths/currently infected. The majority of cases haven’t recovered or died yet.
There is a name for this method of calculating CFR, it’s referred to as the Naïve CFR, and everyone (including the WHO) knows that it grossly underestimates the true CFR.
But don’t take my word for it — here’s a quote from a recent study on the novel coronavirus: “The time from the illness onset to death is also comparable to SARS [15], and the 15–20-day mean delay indicates that a crude estimation of the ratio of the cumulative number of deaths

Praise for @POTUS @realDonaldTrump's Coronavirus Response. Here are the TOP TWEETS: Name of person, then their tweet follows.
Rep. Matt Gaetz
The country can take great comfort in the fact that @realDonaldTrump has built teams to solve problems his entire life. America is armed with some of the best scientists in the world and in a better position to address coronavirus under @POTUS's leadership.
Governor Larry Hogan
On behalf of all my colleagues, I want to thank @POTUS for putting @VP in charge of the federal response. It’s good to have a former governor running this coordinated response as state and local officials lead our preparedness efforts on the front lines.
