Each day that passes without a national strategy will raise the ultimate U.S. death toll from the coronavirus, experts say.

Boston hired retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal's consulting firm to help coordinate the city's response.

Same-day point-of-care diagnostic testing is needed to identify new cases, including among hospitalized patients, health care workers and others doing essential work, close contacts of confirmed cases and outpatients with symptoms, the experts say. Along with widespread testing and swift sharing of the results of test data across the health system, so-called contact tracing is crucial to help isolate clusters of infection, experts said.

"For South Korea, [contact tracing] is a huge part of the way that they're keeping the case numbers down. We're not talking about that. There's been no discussion of it," said Jeremy Konyndyk, a former senior official with the U.S. Agency for International Development who is now at the nonprofit Center for Global Development.

realDonaldTrump needs to see the country as one entity, which he apparently was elected to serve, and stop making snide comments about governors and states.

Its criminal. Everything this imbecile is doing. I'm serious. Lock. Him. Up.

This is common sense, don’t need experts to tell me this. And we are doomed, our leadership has no clue!

Republicans keep showing their lack of management skill. Its depressing that voters cannot see it; people will suffer much more. illness sickness covid19 coronavirus

NBC News sucks.

Remember all of this on election day. That's if anyone is still around to vote

We will continue to bully our president into the correct responses, even though they will be late and come at the cost of thousands more lives. Then eventually there will be detailed accountability. I hope there's prison time, and I hope Fox News is sued into absolute oblivion.

Where is congress?

Ww should he testing everyone... TEST TEST TESTS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT TESTS

There is NO national strategy. It’s every state for itself and then Trump looks for states to blame. It’s abysmal non-existent leadership when the country needs a centralized plan and coordination. He’s incapable.

Then I don't know what the hell your listening t For weeks its stay home and stay 6 feet away and wash often But instead of focusing on the ashats not doing what they are told or provide information to help you continue to show me you can no longer be trusted for getting info

NBC always lying.

When Trump wanted to shut down NY, Cuomo said that it was like a war on NY. Maybe Cuomo has raised the death toll by NY’s late response.

Slaughter will be a Trumps legacy

Thank God for the “fake news”! 50% of the country had time to prepare for the pandemic and the other half are still in the dark.

The experts are on the stage. Enemy of the people and fake news media strikes again.

It would be nice if Trump actually got asked about this at his daily press conferences where you broadcast his lies about how well it’s going and how great he’s been handling everything 🤬

What? At what point do the people take some responsibility? He can’t hold everyone’s hand. You’re hatred is what will cost lives.

Remember back in 2009? How many Americans were infected and how many died? Under Obama.

Trump's strategy

lmao

A spin on national strategy run by the Doctors is not needed at this time. Nothing to do with the Pres.

Thank you Mr President for saving lives, working so hard for the American people, and for your daily briefings....along with all the other great things you are doing!! Trump2020!!

? JournalismIsDead

Trumps and his administration are such LIARS. Cannot believe ANYTHING they say....

As a business man, Trump used to take risk and he is impatient w the expert advice and would try his wit to tinker. His twist makes things worst and the virus infects more. The twist & turn thus looks inconsistent. Probably he mistook he could fire & eliminate the virus as desire

Remember when Obama was filling out his bracket 10 years ago? After 12000+ Americans had died from n1h1? Took 1,000,000 infected Americans before he declared a national emergency. So spare us your criticism

The strategy is to stay home

Screw you. Who writes this fiction

Stay home

Wow. Nbc is almost as bad as CNN. No story is too convoluted to not blame on the president. Nbc news is an enemy of the peace and tranquility of the ppl.

We must VoteBlue for every candidate on the ballots throughout the country.

This is what happens when you elect unqualified people.

He does have a strategy. We're on our own.

If you had covered the whole briefing you and the American people would have hear what the national strategy was. But you didn't so you can tell the American people that don't. Which is a lie.

Developing a national strategy is beyond the capability of the Trump administration so this is effectively saying that each day that passes with Trump as president will raise the US's death toll. Step one of developing a strategy has to be removing Trump from office.

Imagine we all got free rides to Harvard. Then turned to family to run the business, and fucke0 everyone In the country?!?

trumpretweeter Who said he had a strategy?

Just buy for your crony capitalism masters. Buy their inflated stocks that abandon logic. Pay 10-50 times the value for more numbers on a screen. If it’s good for business it’s in many cases terrible for workers. Suck it up butter cup.

Meanwhile state of New Jersey is slated to become covid hotspot number two in the world in the next three days:

Our national strategy is equivalent to having a peeing section in a swimming pool.

realDonaldTrump is nightmare of American, but really a best gift to Russia, Iran and other countries.

No matter what the Trump Adminstration tries to sell us, they have REALLY FUCKED THIS COVID-19 RESPONSE UP!

Singapore finally stepped up its Covid fight by now asking all to wear reusable masks it's issuing free to all homes. It also enhanced social distancing - work shutdown n moving to online schooling for a month. AND Singapore only has 5 deaths/1114 cases. Trump gotta buck up 4USA!

And the national strategy has to start with a national lockdown, however difficult it may be politically. Everybody knows that till a vaccine comes along, Social_Distancing is the only soln. StayHomeSaveLives usa

Question. Where is your Contingency Plan?...... Who are the experts, you are looking for experts and only have 2 Doctors with experience? Where are the EXPERTS? Experience: people that have done this before and know what to do, NOT someone that has a job and keeps making excuses.

N9 matter which way it's spun, the USA did not take it seriously and act fast enough and put other countries in jeopardy ... USA is too far behind the eight ball, and will miss the pocket

No country has ever completely come out of quarantine..... no 1 has done it “correctly” so that is also a theory. Scientists don’t know. TBH, They r “waiting” 4 an apex that can happen anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks from now. Deaths will rise with the economy completely stopped.

So NBC and the leftists want Don the Con to be a Nazi after all.

USA paid three times the price for masks at the airport in China...The masks were ordered and should have gone to France 🔥👍tremendous organisation !!! 😂

😂'Experts'😂 👇

The states have a broad definition of essential. A lot of people I know are still going to work.

And tRump should be tried in a court of law, charged with, at least, manslaughter. Reckless endangerment. First degree murder.

Where were all these 'experts' in January? Fascinating how they spontaneous pop out in unison.

President Trump has it under control

Trump Wages War on the Affordable Care Act in the Midst of the COVID-19 PandemicThe president is urging the federal judiciary to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA). If successful, 20 million people could lose health insurance; 135 million people with preexisting conditions—including cancer, pregnancy and diabetes—will lose desperately needed protections; and 12 million seniors will pay more for prescription drugs. The last thing we should do is make it harder for these groups to access the care they need. Terrible!
