Maryland共和党州长7/16亲自投书. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/07/16/larry-hogan-trump-coronavirus/?arc404=true The plane was filled with 500,000 test kits for my state, where the coronavirus had already infected 12,308 Marylanders and killed 463 of them. The numbers were still climbing, and we would never be able to contain them without mass testing. “Anybody that wants a test can get a test,” President Trump had
declared
the previous month. In reality, only 2,252 Americans had been tested at that point in March. Across the country, my fellow governors were desperately pleading for help on testing. But in early April, Trump said it was the states’ job. Yumi was born and raised in South Korea, a country that had, by then, erected a well-coordinated testing regime. So, with nowhere else to turn, Yumi and I asked President Moon Jae-in for help. He arranged the sale of a half-million test kits from LabGenomics, one of the world’s leading medical testing firms, for $9 million. It was a bargain considering the $2.8 billion in revenue we projected the pandemic would cost Maryland. This should not have been necessary. I’d watched as the president downplayed the outbreak’s severity and as the White House failed to issue public warnings, draw up a 50-state strategy, or dispatch medical gear or lifesaving ventilators from the national stockpile to American hospitals. Eventually, it was clear that waiting around for the president to run the nation’s response was hopeless; if we delayed any longer, we’d be condemning more of our citizens to suffering and death. So every governor went their own way, which is how the United States ended up with such a patchwork response. I did the best I could for Maryland. Here’s what we saw and heard from Washington along the way. But the president was all over the place. He
avowed
, falsely, that “anybody” could get a test, even as my fellow governors were desperately pleading for help on testing. Then he shifted from boasting to blame. “We inherited a very obsolete system” from the Obama administration, he claimed, conveniently ignoring the fact that his own CDC had designed the troubled U.S. testing system and that his own Food and Drug Administration had waited a full month before allowing U.S. hospital labs to develop their own tests. On March 25, the president was back to bragging again. “We now are doing more testing than anybody by far,” including South Korea, whose widespread testing program was being praised around the world. This was true in absolute numbers, since we are a much bigger country, but we’d tested far fewer per capita than the Koreans had — 1,048 tests per million people vs. South Korea’s 6,764 per million — and of course that was the only figure that mattered. During one White House briefing in late March, Trump said the issue had been dealt with. “I haven’t heard about testing for weeks,” the president insisted. Really? As Trump was making these comments, I was requesting his approval to conduct joint testing at the National Institutes of Health. I even called Francis Collins, the head of NIH, to make this request, but he stopped me before I could. Not to argue but to plead: “Actually, Governor,” he said, “I’m glad you called, because I was going to ask you for help.” At NIH headquarters, he explained, his people had the capacity to perform only 72 tests a day. “I don’t even have enough tests for my immune-compromised patients or for my staff,” he said. He wondered if I might prevail upon Johns Hopkins, whose Suburban Hospital is across the street from NIH, to do some testing for him.

不理解为什么疫情正常的州有的可以快速检测 有的拖得那么久 尤其是马里兰这种也不是实验室也不少的地方
如果说一开始是因为大家都在探索 现在没有一个best solution了么 为什么每个国家和地区区别还是这么大
有没有了解生物测试的MM来解释下 很困惑
四月份就好理解多了
新闻在pay wall后面但看连接里面的日期 乍一看还以为现在还要去韩国运
心想怎么也不至于这样吧
这种话题建议转版
7/16的投书，怎么就四月份了？
你贴的文章上有日期，3月底 4月的事 我在马里兰，现在测试很多了 网上填个表，没有症状也可以测
买test kit 是4月的事，但是这文章是新鲜出炉的。Hogan这次防疫表现不错，之前看电视采访对trump评论还是比较温和，不知道是啥原因今天出来骂川普, 有谣言说他可能会参选下一届总统, 希望是真的。
对啊。。。所以我觉得这个话题已经脱离疫情范围 进入政治讨论的范围内了 所以建议转版 不是对这个州长有意见

他写的书最近出来了吧。 今天baltimore sun里还在说他的书： https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-hogan-chapters-20200716-7lfg2s53wrb55npxjpli7wndry-story.html#nws=true
这是很明显的政治信号啊。Hogan突出了自己和国际社会的合作能力，同时凸显了亚裔移民的正面作用。
他这老婆有没有背景不知道，不过好像是二婚才嫁给hogan的，还带着两个娃。中年大妈励志的楷模👍
对，那天新闻也在说，好像很多总统候选人参选前都是先出书试试水...他这次民意比较好，又有governor经验，搞不好下一届真的可以考虑。
你怎么啥都是政治信号？今天baltimore sun还在评判他写的书。。。。
川普如果十拿九稳，他敢跳出来吗?下面就看Senator啥时候跳船了
他的确不错，在深蓝州连任州长，做的中规中矩挺好的。 这次共和党提名的时候有过呼声他出来竞选，他推掉了说无意参选，还说never参选。
他书里说的东西多了，你有全部读过吗？
你这么扯，是想说明啥？
又有什么不敢，川普又不能把他怎么样，而且川普到底能不能赢现在还是一个疑问，就算选上了，有民主党，和共和党内建制派的钳制，川普能做多少事情还是个问号。
有common sense 能顶得住民主党那些牛鬼蛇神就好，你看这年头大家的标准都降的多低了
先养望，都是套路。
民主党上来，会带着blm 游行打砸抢，疫情蔓延不可想象
看case,投书里才1w多，马里兰现在都7w5+了，日增小于1k,所以，显然是在讲早些时候的事情
对，但之前那位层主说因为这是四月份得事情，让版主转版。
前几天共和党的宾州参议员pat toomey也跳出来了，传言他要竞选州长。
49年的了，解放军大军压境了，蒋介石和李宗仁还在斗。。。。。。
反观左派，铁的纪律，铁的一致，统一的声音，统一的步伐。
左派不是要肃反么= =
左派现在也不团结，革命小将跟元老也是一团粥，不过铁板一块也不是好事
还是准备不足吧 指数增长不是说着玩的
