The University of Washington has developed its own virus test so that 2000 people a day can be tested here.

(382 posts)Nursing homes are licensed by and under control of the Fed. Not under state control. In that regard, Inslee did all he could do, and that is to stay out of the way, and let the Federal Inspection crew who arrived on Wednesday, get into the nursing home and do its required job.
Jay Inslee is pretty amazing, but he's not God, so please, take a look at how he HAS stepped up, and cut him some slack. I, for one, believe he is doing whatever he can to manage the state's response, given the fact that we are the epicenter of the US epidemic.
Thanx for listening, all.

(9,186 posts)When the first death occurred, Inslee declared an emergency and kicked the states emergency response into gear.
I work at the hospital where the victims of Life Care were transferred to. WA health department came in, CDC came in and they worked as a crisis response team with county and healthcare crisis responders to formulate a response to treat victims and begin a proactive response to the increasing threat to the community. As the numbers grew, they had to evaluate what was going on while preventing a mass panic rush on the ER crippling patient care.
Inslee and his team handled this very well.

(6,212 posts)he cant try to be decent even in a crisis. He can't be gone soon enough.

(11,725 posts)Literally, I do not think that he has the capacity to be decent. Remember when they asked him to say something nice about Hillary and he said some bullshit. He lacks empathy and a moral compass.

(6,212 posts)it is like his parents never taught him anything about ettiquite. He is so crude and rude with zero social graces.

(14,286 posts)Off topic, but the shit-stirring in our primary included some ostensible supporters of Bernie calling Warren a snake. I didnt get why, and it seemed over-the-top which is a red flag for me that its originating from trolls.
Trump, as the brain-addled trollmaster-in-chief, might be letting slip his own involvement in that particular smear. Wed have no way to know.

(63,221 posts)The man does not have a decent bone in his body. He is petty and cruel, and just reeks of insecurity.
And what was that whole bit about his uncle who was a professor at MIT and bragging about how he has an "aptitude" for science because they are related.
Trump is a complete ignoramus on every subject, yet he thinks because he is related to some illustrious academic it somehow makes him a genius on the topic of infectious diseases. God, he is such a raging fucking idiot!

He wouldnt know honor and decency if it came up and bit him in the butt. Every crisis, every issue, every problem, is just an opportunity for him to lie and insult others and praise himself. His magats listen to him and believe and repeat everything he vomits. He is disgusting, petty, ignorant, and repugnant in every way possible. I cant wait until we dont have to hear his stupid words any more.
