This is how the U.S. could 'virtually eliminate' coronavirus in weeks: Ex-Obama health chief


TORONTO -- The U.S. could “virtually eliminate” the coronavirus in a “matter of weeks” if the country enacts several strict measures to bring down the number of new cases, according to a former health official under the Obama administration.

Andy Slavitt, the Acting Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) during much of former president Barack Obama’s second term, said it’s possible for the U.S. to return to a “reasonably normal” existence, if “we want to.”

In a 40-tweet-long thread on Sunday, Slavitt laid out how the country could completely reopen in October, if they “threw the kitchen sink at COVID-19” right away.


Slavitt’s “kitchen sink” comprises six major points of action that would need to be implemented right away:


  1. Enact universal mask-wearing in every state.
  2. Keep hot spots, such as bars, restaurants, churches, and transit, closed. In order to do this, Slavitt said the government would have to extend employment insurance and understand the economy would take a several-week hit.
  3. Prohibit interstate travel.
  4. Prohibit travel into the U.S. This shouldn’t be difficult, Slavitt said, because “no one will let us into their country.”
  5. Set up hotels for people with symptoms to isolate from their families at no cost.
  6. Introduce a “90 per cent lockdown,” which would mean even those who were previously considered essential, such as truck drivers, those picking crops, or those working in healthcare, would stay home too. Slavitt said the lockdown in the U.S. in March and April was only 50 per cent.


While he acknowledged it would be a “tough few weeks,” Slavitt said Americans would still be able to be outside, enjoy nature, and gather safely with friends.

“Our grandparents who lived through a decade long depression, a 6 year world war, or whatever hardship they faced in their country would tell us we would make it,” he tweeted.

After the lockdown measures have been lifted, Slavitt didn’t promise the virus would be completely gone, but he said testing and contact tracing would be much more manageable.

“While we do this, what else happens? Well our nurses & doctors can catch their breath, recover & go back to healing our other issues. We hug our parents again. Our scientists can work on vaccines they can get right & safe. They can be speedy without rushing,” he said.

Slavitt said people will still have to take precautions, such as wearing masks in larger settings and elevators, but the sacrifice will be worth it if they can get the outbreak under control.

“We will do this. There is no other way. The question is when. The question is who will convince us. The question is the leadership it takes. But there’s not much question if we should,” he said.

But this benign drug has been used safely for decades for serious illnesses like malaria. How come when we suggest its use for a much less serious virus, it is the same as threatening violence or posting child prn? What's really going on here? #Covid911

These are excellent recommendations but it Will never happen. Most Americans look for a quick fix and won't take the good of society as a whole into account. Plus your average trailer trash is so dumb they believe what DT spews on TV everynight. Many even think he's a "billionaire" lmfao

Even better,

1. Arrest all of the anti-American Dems for treason - they are the REAL virus!

or

2. Put all Americans on 1 tablet of hydrozychloriquine every 2 weeks for 30 days.

These solutions are the easiest, cheapest and safest ways to eliminate not only the fake scamdemic but also the evil anti-American dems.

Do both and we make America great FOREVER!

a video featuring a group of doctors telling the truth about a covid19 cure was quickly removed to prevent people waking up and realizing the pandemic was an elaborate political scam to collapse the country and hurt#Trump2020.

Wait, if its a "fake scamdemic" then why does everyone need to take hydrozychloriquine every 2 weeks for 30 days? :think2:

I’m still amazed how the virus does not spread at leftist protests , riots and funerals of Democrats. Absolutely fascinating.

"At least 161,000 more people have died during the coronavirus pandemic than the official Covid-19 death counts report, a review of mortality data in 28 countries shows — providing a clearer, if still incomplete, picture of the toll of the crisis.

Over the last several months, far more people have died in most of these countries than in previous years, The New York Times found. The totals include deaths from Covid-19 as well as those from other causes, likely including people who could not be treated as hospitals became overwhelmed. These numbers undermine the notion that many people who have died from the virus may soon have died anyway.

If Tronald Dump was such an amazing businessman he would of had MAGA face masks (made in Vachina) and sold em to all the nipple suckers at $20 a pop on day one and we wouldn't even be in this fucking mess.

Also this whole notion that 162 other countries got together, allowed 500,000 people to die from a virus and enacted a global economic disruption just to stop one douche bag from being re-elected is such a tired straw grasp. Vry smol pp energy. Sad!

We knew the general pop. Does not statistically get sick or die from this virus. Don't give them a life raft they don't deserve. This was malice, not incompetence
