Gee, wonder why this guy isn't being heard? Maybe because he's not with a certain destructive agenda.

Glad to see there is push back against the #fakepandemic

Gee, wonder why this guy isn't being heard?

Asks rhetorical question and then links to a page showing him on CNN, Fox, Quoted by Cuomo, etc

*SMH*

That said.. if you think his idea is a reasonable one (I haven't really evaluated it outside a 30 second perusal).. it seems to instantly fall down on

"Routine, mobile testing" & "Digital health monitoring" on the high risk group
"Routine testing" on the Service Provider group.

We simply do not have testing scaled enough to do it.. we are at ~5 million tests.. the high risk group is ~90 million

Now throw in the service provider group...

So sure... great plan when you can do the steps provided... I'm all for it.

(note, it also says Routine testing, which means you have to plan for more than 1 test per person in the group)

[SW1917]

Shelter-in-place; strict social distancing including from family members; strict personal sanitation routine
High Risk: >= age 75
Treated heart disease, diabetes- any age
Medically treated or induced immunocompromise, any age
Chronic lung disease, any age Other

Strict social distancingRestricted from interaction with High Risk individuals Restricted from interaction with High Risk individuals
*risk categories to be defined, updated, promulgated to public by suitable authorities- e.g., CDC, NIH, WHO, etc. Similarly, recommended practices and policies for interdiction/risk minimization to be updated and disseminated routinely by the same authorities based on most current data.

Just whom is going to be tasked with enforcement -

He makes sense that’s why he won’t be listened to. A2

Seems like he's pretty much in the middle of the debate.

The "rhetorical" question isn't. A few interviews do not make policy.

Since NOBODY actually knows what's what, whatever happened to "compromise"? Shouldn't public policy have a little common sense mixed in? Why are we destroying the financial health or our world over fear of the unknown.

The same as those enforcing the overkill now.

[therealnickb]

Forget bills jabs at Trump. The interview is otherwise very fair.

Seriously. Watch this guy and tell me why he's wrong.

[SAN compnerd]

Why is it harder to get a clip of Katz with Mark Levin than with Bill mahar?

No Idea. But in that interview, bill was actually fair. Despite the cheap shots at trump and fox, he actually sounded like a thinking person. I'm sure he took a lot of chit from the du types.

His guidelines and the guidelines released by the White House

Look very similar.. it still comes down to having enough tests to get through the phases

He points to incompetent Federal leadership in his Bill Maher interview as well.. he's not wrong there either.

We have had terrible national policy and a bungled response. There isn't an argument about the fact that we are going to open back up. It is the the levels we achieve of new cases per day (and hospital utilization) and sufficient testing for contact tracing.

Simply put, we ain't there yet. We need a massive push for testing but instead it's been farmed out to 50 governors to manage.. it is ridiculous.

What's ridiculous? That you can't control the population of America?

The terrible national tragedy is financial, nothing more. Our electorate is out of control and feckless.. Nothing to do with medical issues. Unless of course you actually want the federal government in charge or our health care. Because if you do, this is what you get.

Katz suggested the testing should be done effectively. We can do that.

And Yes, Katz threw bill a bone regarding our leadership. AFTER he was goaded into it twice. He never once "pointed" to anything. You have totally mischaracterized what he said.

Katz suggested the testing should be done effectively. We can do that.

While the country is continuing to scale coronavirus testing, Birx said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that "we have to realize that we have to have a breakthrough innovation in testing."

"We have to be able to detect antigen, rather than constantly trying to detect the actual live virus, or the viral particles itself," she added.

In calling for a breakthrough, Birx was referring to a type of testing technology -- antigen testing -- that is often used for rapid flu tests.
