Why Contact Tracing Is Failing in Many States.

Sat, 2020-08-01 11:31 — mike kraft

...

Contact tracing, a cornerstone of the public health arsenal to tamp down the coronavirus across the world, has largely failed in the United States; the virus’s pervasiveness and major lags in testing have rendered the system almost pointless.

Coronavirus Live Updates: U.S. Testing Czar Says It’s Not Possible for All Tests to Come Back Within 3 Days

Fri, 2020-07-31 19:46 — mike kraft

As schools, universities and businesses struggle to reopen without the coronavirus testing they need to curb outbreaks, the Trump administration’s testing czar testified to Congress Friday that it was currently impossible to get all tests back within three days.

The testing czar, Adm. Brett P. Giroir, told lawmakers that getting all coronavirus tests back between 48 and 72 hours, which many health officials have said is critical, “is not a possible benchmark we can achieve today, given the demand and the supply.”

Virus wipes out 5 years of U.S economic growth

Fri, 2020-07-31 09:53 — mike kraft

Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced, fell 9.5 percent in the second quarter of the year as consumers cut back spending, businesses pared investments and global trade dried up, the Commerce Department said.
