This week on the big show, Fingers and Tracy swap stories about what their lives are like under state imposed “shelter in place” orders. Tracy breaks down the timeline of epic failures by the FDA and CDC the resulted in an adequate number of Coronavirus testing kits being available weeks ago. She also digs into a report put out by the WHO about their findings in China, which apparently no one in the media has read. And finally they discuss what long-lasting effects the virus and the ensuing drama/panic will have on Americans.
From the show:
The bureaucracy is to blame for the lack of available Coronavirus test!
Timeline of the epic failure of the FDA and CDC to create and mass produce an effective Coronavirus test.
All of the articles, data, and studies that I’ve collected, thus far:
Coronavirus: Articles, Data, and Studies by Tracy L. Connors on Scribd
Highlights from the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 Report
The Chinese were meticulous about contract tracing.
Shenzhen City: 100% close contacts identified and medically observed, 2.8% infected.
Sichuan Province: 91% close contacts observed, 0.9% infected.
Guangdong Province: 78% close contacts observed, 4.8% infected. pic.twitter.com/UEgxQxY08d

We’ve heard a lot about Chinese healthcare workers becoming infected. We all assumed they became infected at work.
WRONG.
“investigations among HCW suggest that many may have been infected within the household rather than in a healthcare setting.” pic.twitter.com/JR0oePOjAe— TLC (@TracyLConnors) March 21, 2020
This seems like a rather strong argument against sheltering in place.
Most clusters 78% to 85% have occurred and families.
The secondary attack rate in households ranges from 3% to 10%. pic.twitter.com/Ln8hJM2AV7

And finally, “community transmission has been very limited. Most locally generated cases have been clustered, the majority of which have occurred in households. “ pic.twitter.com/NCwrwcSHv7
