回复 1楼pp.piggy的帖子 Air Force moves 500K coronavirus test swabs from Italy to US BY ELLEN MITCHELL - 03/18/20 03:05 PM EDT 173
The Pentagon on Wednesday confirmed that the Air Force has moved 500,000 coronavirus testing swabs to the United States from Italy.
An Air National Guard unit transported 500,000 swabs – used as part of the process to test for COVID-19 – from Italy to Memphis, Tenn. The swabs were then loaded onto FedEx aircraft and distributed around the country as directed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Defense Department spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters.
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein earlier on Wednesday confirmed the shipment.
“We’ve just made a pretty significant movement into Memphis last night,” Goldfein told reporters.
He added that the shipment was in support of Homeland Security and HHS “to make sure that we are meeting the demands that they have.”
Defense One first reported on the shipment of swabs, which were flown by a C-17 cargo plane using the call “Reach 911.” It landed early Tuesday morning at Memphis International Airport.
The Trump administration has faced intense criticism over the lack of widely available coronavirus tests. Officials have insisted testing is ramping up this week and will be more accessible across the country in the coming days and weeks.
Joint Staff surgeon Air Force Brig. Gen. Paul Friedrichs, who spoke alongside Hoffman, said the swabs have been sent to different medical facilities to collect samples from individuals. Those samples are then sent to a lab for analysis.
The Defense Department has made available its 14 coronavirus testing labs available to analyze samples. As of Tuesday, 936 patients had been tested in its facilities.
Friedrichs also said the military is “working with international partners to meet our full demand” for testing equipment, in addition to working with U.S. companies.
The military has 89 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, including 49 active-duty troops, 19 family members, 14 civilian and seven contract employees, the Pentagon announced Wednesday morning.
Fourteen of the 89 have been hospitalized.
Goldfein said seven of those who have been infected by the virus are active-duty airmen.
The Air Force general stressed that while the numbers are low, “we are taking it very seriously,” adding that global operations, the movement of people and supplies – including test kits – have not been interrupted.
Air Force Surgeon General, Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg, who spoke alongside Goldfein, said the service expects “our cases will increase, just like they are in the general public.”

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

开呀，昨天看了个新闻还说东京奥运会如期举行呢
德国和中国的死亡人数都不能相信， 不是这两个国故意瞒报，而是他们只把没有基础病症的健康人染上新冠死亡的案例记载成新冠死亡，比如有心脏病或糖尿病患者染上新冠死了，在中国和德国，这些人不被计入新冠死亡，而是计入心脏病和糖尿病死亡。美国和其它一些国家是把所有染上新冠后死亡的都算新冠死亡。中国和德国这样定义新冠死亡，他们的数字会比别国小的多。
日本还敢开奥运不？世界各地的人蜂涌而入。。。
🛋️ 沙发板凳
板上有些人说日本不测了， 因为没有测试盒。 所以情况应该也是非常糟糕的。
英国是不测了。情况应该也是特别糟糕。
那不是更可怕了，现在一天新增4000，死400，比例是10%
要是test kit假阳性，那死亡比例更高了
不是没有试剂盒 人就是不测 孙正义捐了点试剂盒还被痛骂 日本人不是一般的站队齐心
太可怕了吧 SARS死亡率也才10%
如果污染肯定是很多假阳性，很多死亡也测算是假阳性啊
呆梨停航太晚 国界也封的太晚 别跟美国比 没有可比性 经历此疫 欧盟可以寿终正寝了
我觉得和国民特性有关，亚洲人集体意识强，愿意为了别人牺牲自己的自由，所以会采取自我隔离，戴口罩等防疫措施。
西方人很自由，大部分只顾自己不管他人死活的，这种情况下无法有效遏制疫情。
现在还没到最坏的时候，so sad
不是说日本基本不测吗。
我觉得韩国更牛。有邪教加速传播，也还是硬生生的控制住了
意大利是第一个停航的
说句公道话，中国的数据，除了武汉早期有些死了的没有确诊，其他城市应该是真的。严格排查和流行病学追踪（也即和什么人接触过）的。很强调隔离和排查。因为这事情已经闹大了，各地官员都怕报少了有责任。家里有亲戚在医院前线，当时还特地问过。那边的医生们真的是很拼。
欧洲文化真不一样，法国现在都不带口罩，当然最近也隔离了。口罩是医生处方开的现在。（至少几天前我朋友这么说的）
还是太晚，意大利的温州商人和早期去那里旅游的已经传遍了，中国11月12月就已经传开了
意大利停航是没有北韩那么早，但比美帝可早多了
中国抗议之下又复航了
亚洲老百姓好管理，听劝
没恢复。先直接停了，北京方面抗议以后语气松动了一秒钟，随即又deny了 https://ph.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/italy-denies-china-claims-easing-112042463.html
这还有一篇分析断航效果的报告 https://www.forbes.com/sites/davekeating/2020/03/12/italy-banned-flights-from-china-before-americait-didnt-work/
和美国现在的损失相比，韩国所谓的血本简直太便宜了。
早期能下得了狠心，人家领导人确实有魄力，粉饰太平，最后只会越弄越糟
测试要花钱啊.
德国这里, 一般人想测都不给你测啊!! 很贵很贵的.
印度, 土耳其, 阿富汉 这种地方, 政府舍得花钱给你测??
穷人死了就死了罢.
美国真是可惜，如果一开始多测，地大物博天然适合social distancing,是能遏制住的。
意大利应该是医疗系统崩溃了，就等老和病的差不多死完了才算。
德国是很多死于新冠的算作死于其它疾病，不在死亡数里。
英国轻症不测了，所以实际感染人数多，目前死亡率没有那么恐怖。将来医疗崩溃不看好。
西班牙和英国差不多情况应该。
武汉的数据从头到尾都是假的
韩国的数据分析很厉害很厉害.
但是韩国的做法在欧美根本行不开啊.
欧美国家的 数据保护 和隐私方面的法律很多很多,
韩国的很多做法, 欧美国家做不了.
哈哈
国民不一样的，美国即使像韩国那么检测也控制不住的。不死掉几个二十几岁的，年轻人不听劝的。不过我觉得那些不听话的挂了也是自作自受。大家要一直keep social distance until vaccine or medication
20多岁的美国小年轻真的是完全不重视。该怎样就怎样。他们即使得了基本上本身不会出大问题，但是会到处传染。
这次真的佩服韩国，直面风险，雷厉风行。日本如果真的又跟福岛一样捂盖子，那真的是再一次把报喜不报忧发挥到了极致，只是可怜那么多老龄化人群，唉
医院没有床位了
很多人只能自生自灭了
SEX 最重要 啊!!

搞到最后还是要从外面调用。早2星期运来，现在的情况可能完全不一样了。
那英国日本这样的算是从半路开始假的？
就是不测吧，软银要捐测试盒，被日本人骂走了。
粉饰太平这个词说的太好了。
美国的粉饰太平一直粉饰到3月9号。

re
可能没钱 测吧!!
就象土耳其, 基本不测.
韩国的死亡率有文章分析了，他家大比例都是邪教成员，所以很大的分母是20多岁的年轻女孩子，是死亡率最低的那个subpopulation。意大利是老年，男的，抽烟的，三大risk factor都占齐了
不测就没有 和测了还不报 理解一下区别
马来西亚是几万人的穆斯林聚集引爆的。
美国是不是也准备让年轻人在外面浪，降低死亡率同时获得群体免疫。
因为他们搞了一个清真寺万人集会……
韩国这把确实很牛，服气
这玩意也生产不了，真是服了
他居然没删除这条，不过删了网友也替他存了，哈哈。
我怎么觉得那个黎女士和澳洲那个蛮横无理的大妈并不是这样呢
别提了，台湾更早，现在就指望台积电去超越三星了。真的是，trump为了贸易第一阶段顾虑太多失了先机啊
希望现在全民动员还来得及
韩国的例子说明了，只要政府肯下狠手，这个病毒真的没那么可怕。
韩国如果不是这次命好政治正好站在政府这边，多半也会苟。
可是邪教反抗激烈之如韩国，也控制住了。
这次真的要佩服人家韩国，毕竟人家也有大爆发但是很快就控制住了
日本真的不看好，感觉在危险边缘游走。感觉政府在边缘游走，两边便宜（控制疫情，和举办奥运会）都想占着
德国媒体也表扬了韩国.
然后说 韩国的做法 在德国行不通.
哈哈哈
可是东京奥运会推迟已经是心照不宣的事实了，他们再鸵鸟有什么意义啊。我不懂孙正义之前捐试剂盒居然被日本人diss到道歉不捐了，我看这种民族比国内可怕太多了，难怪二战时候能成战争机器。
那几个是个例，而且说句难听的，常年生活在海外，思路已经不是typical“亚洲生活的亚洲人”的了。我看了youtube上当时没有撤侨死守武汉的美国人的vlog，已经在国内被同化的和国内一个思路了，那防护意识那装备，妥妥的中国人了，所以环境还是很重要的。
现在你去纽约看看，美国人很自制。
原谅我理解不了区别，最后给韭菜看的数字都是不对的
我只能告诉你，我们湖北就是很多地方不报的，北京也是一样。意大利就是好一点的武汉，武汉的数据可以用意大利反推出来。
是的，还相信中国数据得有多傻，病毒也能听指挥几乎同时间在各省成为0？
不是真的，家里有人在疾控，最后报出来的总数都是改过的
病毒有党性的，说反转就反转，说零增长就零增长
请把你家人在疾控方面的内部文件摆出来。 如果能当一下间谍的话。
我不看数字， 只看有没有采取有效的措施。 至少武汉中后期是采取了有效的措施的。
韩国总统很果断，韩国的公务员系统比美国也高效了很多。
但是经此一役，韩国民间对中国好感降到负数。
你这个有点过分了 网络上的东西你爱信不信 你自己的判断影响你自己的生活 但是不要把别人往火坑里面推
头阵子在传中国给日本的测试盒被美国拦截用了
我觉得可能当时有点错判，觉得这病毒亚裔会比较容易传染，CDC一直说对美国来说是low risk
川统领又不敢甩锅给CDC，因为他把CDC预算削了80%(如果没有记错的话）
中国人还是吃得起苦的，尤其到了关键时候，这边的医生说实话让他们为了不脱防护服一天不吃不喝不上厕所，基本不可能。。。如果真到了医疗系统奔溃的那一天，我真不知道这边会怎么样，所以大家一切都要靠自己，老老实实待家里，能不出去就不出去
