    I doubt the poster believes being is a state of emergency is good thing. I interpret it as when the conditions warrant the declaration of a national emergency is necessary and contributes to combating the issue. IF you watch Trumps speak, a large part of it centers on what can happen next after the declaration of national emergency. "To unleash the full power of the federal government I am declaring a national emergency". It opened up 50 billion for fighting the deceased. Hospital can start emergency preparedness plans. Waive laws and procedures etc...

    Your an "entitled liberal" because you think a week is too long to wait for a resolution to the test kit issue. If your prefer the term spoilt brat I'm fine with that as well. Your also entitled because you think others are responsible for you, which is the ultimate trait of a child. Most lose that as the transition into adulthood, clearly liberals retain much of it.

    The information was available before Trump said a word. I don't know where this trust for our government came from, but I am responsible for my family and even the others on my culdesac.

    Stop with the "lol" we are not teenagers.

    A resolution to a sudden and unexpected issue.

    As easy as it must be for you to play monday morning quarterback from your position of no responsibility or power, you might want to try and consider there are factors you have no ideal about at play.

    Yes, exactly.

    Why did folks like you who clearly hated and distrusted him long before this trust what he said about this? If you did not then what on Earth are you crying about?

    Of course he did. Most likely expected his to come with a Starbucks and a free month of Netflix.

    Uh oh.

    Carolyn Wang, communications lead for Verily, told The Verge that the “triage website” was initially only going to be made available to health care workers instead of the general public. Now that it has been announced the way it was, however, anybody will be able to visit it, she said. But the tool will only be able to direct people to “pilot sites” for testing in the Bay Area, though Wang says Verily hopes to expand it beyond California “over time.”

    I guess I’m naive and didn’t think he’d risk people’s lives with his lies. Silly me!
