“Business Insider identified the repair shop owner as John Paul Mac Isaac, an avid Trump supporter who couldn't get his facts straight when reporters later questioned him about the timeline of events laid out in the Post's story.”

“The outlet said it learned of the emails' existence last month through Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, and obtained them through Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer.”

“Both men have routinely pushed conspiracy theories about the Biden campaign's ties to Ukraine, and Giuliani met last year with a Ukrainian official who was sanctioned in September and accused of acting as a Russian agent.”

So you would have preferred the US to ban citizens from returning home?

I stated no opinions of my own. Simply provided facts. Not at all, but due to our insufficient testing, thousands could have slipped through the cracks. Nearly the entire world is struggling with their testing as we all know, but I expected the US to be better. The CDC botched testing initially and delayed us for weeks.

The research revealed a previously hidden spread of the virus that might have been detected if aggressive testing programs had been put in place

Happy to expand. On March 5th we had done 8,842 tests. They had done 146,541 tests.
And it took a very long time for us to even make a dent in that. Even though we had our first cases on the same day, they were way ahead of the curve compared to us in the beginning which helped their response tremendously.
They’ve still done nearly 2 times more than we have per capita which is not a small amount.

We should have been the most prepared country on the planet for this outbreak. No one could have fathomed how far behind we’d be in testing at this point.
On the Global Health Security Index, a report card that grades every country on its pandemic preparedness, the United States has a score of 83.5, the world’s highest. We should be in a much better situation right now. Testing is the tip of the iceberg. What evidence have you seen that suggests our testing will ramp up significantly this week? We’ve finally started averaging 100,000 a day.

Truly remarkable statistic to look at. Especially with what we know of this being spread through individuals that are asymptomatic. If only we could have responded as well as countries like South Korea.
The article below explains how the CDC and FDA botched testing initially. Also expands on how we got so far behind in testing. It’s nearly impossible to make accurate predictions with such little data.
We still have no clue how many people actually have it or how many have died from it.
Not the most recent article but very informative. Scroll down a little to get to the bulk of it all if you don’t feel like reading everything.

Actually we’ve beaten 2 ranked teams. Miss. St (18) who destroyed A&M, and then of course Georgia (6). Nice try though.

I know you’re just messing with us but I’ll play along. Our strength of schedule is #2 in the country.

Could not agree more. I would think it’s been at least 10 years since we’ve had this many quality wins in the regular season.
