A new variant in the US??

Is this the supposed “London” strain that showed itself on CO and CA?!

What the heck.

No it is not the UK strain. The claim is (Birx - apparently alone) claiming a new strain having originated in the US. CDC seems to be united in disagreeing with her.

she did not claim a new strain had originated!

What a shirt show.

Goodness. Where is Fauci when we need him?

This just makes all of them all look stupid. Until it is known for certain, this should not be speculated on publically by government officials.

meh. in this pandemic, we've taken a lot of action based on speculation and best guesses. this doesn't even look like any kind of call to action.

more to the point of the story, it says all she did herself was bring up the possibility in a meeting. the way it's written, it looks like the report probably wasn't authored, sent or edited by her. maybe the whole task force signed off on it, or maybe it was a rogue.

i know you didn't specifically single her out, but looks like folks are quick to toss her under the bus.

edit: oops. didn't see your last post.

.. these folks had a trust problem before, this does nothing to help and can only hurt - basically for nothing. Just stupid to air it in public.

ok. and i refer to my post above.
- she brought up the possibility in a meeting
- we don't know the backstory on the release, who put together
- the report supposedly said may
- a cdc spokesman in the article is quoted as saying we might not know for months. saying might is a real problem?

whoever was pushing out sounds like they didn't care to take in cdc input. so cdc counters and the states get their take as well.

not really helpful, but as i said, a non-event. i don't get the knives for birx, but hey.

if we saw the full report, we might have more to judge by. did they give other possibilities with or without full evidence? cold weather and reasons why cold weather, etc.?

... to me it sounds like Birx standing on her own. Maybe she is right and all the CDC scientist are wrong. My main concern is the needless airing of dirty laundry. It makes them all look stupid, not inspiring trust when trust is needed. Birx has not been treated well by her boss. She has been badly used but the Trump administration - but that is her own fault. I can't believe she didn't realize the job was dangerous when she took it. With things falling apart I suspect she is determined to be shown some respect. Fighting with CDC scientists is a safe way to do that. I would have rather seen her showing some spine with regards to the clear lies being pumped out by the Trump synchophants. Maybe that is really what this is, her finally standing up to them. There is not enough information in the article to know. What is known however is there is more feuding going on where there is no clear side to be believed. Birx does not have credibility at this point.

I would disagree, I think it is important that the CDC and the administration be trusted, have credibility. This does not help.

THAT IS THE HYPOTHESES SHE IS SUPPORTING. And she thought it was important enough that it be included in the report. -- that is her claim.

this is just silly at this point. now she's feuding with the cdc, deserves to be disrespected, is determined to be respected and showing spine at the wrong time and place. and now you're saying she claimed something she didn't. when she presented, as you say, a hypothetical... in a meeting.

the absolute only thing you and i know from this news item about her specifically is she presented a hypothetical in a meeting. there's no indication she thought it was important enough to be included in the report. none of any of this.

she very well could've done all of those things. but there is zero confirmation or even inferring of any of it.

but don't let me stop you! blast away!

what is the lost credibility part? how is she special?

The problem with things like this and a global roll out of vaccine is that by partially decreasing the susceptible population the virus is more likely to see genetic drift that will cause backward momentum in getting a handle on it.

Yep. We will see what happens over there. Hopefully a vaccine gets distributed there.

Thanks.

I have made a partial correction by re-naming it TRUMP virus

Well in that case good for Kram. I'll keep posting here if it doesn't revert.

MSNBC report indicates she is waiting for a PCR test result to confirm. So, could be a false positive.

Kramer doesn’t want to lose the royalties he gets for all posts to his thread.

We do get royalties for starting a thread, right?
