“Google is partnering with the US Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information
NOW. It was Google that came out with the Press Release saying they were unfamiliar with what the President was talking about.
It's pretty SOP for this administration. I know you won't believe it, but you also won't see what Trump described for a long time either. Promises made, excuses made.

Good grief.
It was supposed to be ready by Sunday (today) with information on where to go in your community to get tested.
It's an interesting question though - I suspect the answer can be found under what rights states and federal have when a State of Emergency is declared.

By the end of this week, I believe US victims will probably surpass even Iran.
I have been reading about profiteers and price gougers here in America. I am surprised there is so little talk about prosecution. The US has become a low-trust society, it would seem, with all the panic that is happening in stores and people fighting over toilet paper.
The dude with 17,700 bottles of sanitizer just donated then.
Still, eff that guy because now he had no other choice. He relied on people struggling and being desperate...
I don't want to get into a semantics debate. My question is whether isolating people in their own homes and preventing mixing of people in order to prevent people from getting infected is going to work. Eventually those people will have to leave their homes or the world as we know it will collapse. And when they do, they are vulnerable to getting infected again. It seems to put off the inevitable.
I don't know the details behind social distancing, but it seems predicated on the notion that many people are going to get infected whatever we do, so rather than trying to stop that, let's control it so it does not overwhelm the system. We throttle it by letting people mix in a way that essentially limits R0 to just over unity.
The proposal in California seems more like the first paragraph, not the second. Correct me if I am wrong.
The second part of this is flattening the curve has no quick endpoint. Basically you have to keep it flat as long as the pool of uninfected people remains large, perhaps at least 20% of the population. So what is the end game with flattening the curve? We keep at it for a year or two? Then presumably we have immunity or we have a vaccine? In any event, flattening does not prevent deaths, it only slows them down. The total will still be very high.
There is not enough good data to reach this conclusion. Please stop spreading fear and panic, thanks.
Agreed. Just looking at the numbers from Washington state where we know the virus has been since mid January, it’s spread, but not like wildfire, and that was before there was awareness and actions taken.
OK so it may or may not be a conspiracy theory for people to react to this virus as the government is teling you. (no restaurants, no movies, etc) but i'd rather be safe and just listen to them. this virus seems to be super contagious and happens in crowds rather than when you stay away from everyone.. it will be weird to have your freedom curtailed and the city looking like a deserted ghost town, but it's only maybe for a month or two at most.
