I mean, just send me all the cheese that its not "legal" for us to eat in the States, please. I'll be a happy camper forever and ever, amen.

I think it legal to eat the cheese just not legal to sell the cheese. The USDA is not a fan on non- pasteurized dairy. Some locals back in Central Illinois did some type of dairy club thing so they could skirt the rules and get raw milk from some local dairy farmers.

Didn't it changed with Trump? I can ship any cheese you want. I just can't guarantee the freshness but I can guarantee the smell, particularly these days where any parcel may take weeks and weeks to be delivered.

Lol I’m not sure if it changed recently. All I do know is that I would do sacrilegious things for some proper Epoisses and Trou du Cru.
Haha

On the other hand, a few McDonald's are reopening in France and it caused huge lines of cars with people waiting up to three hours for a Big Mac.

I do almost everything from scratch, pandemic or no pandemic, but I can promise you with absolute certainty that as soon as it is practical for me to do so, I’m off to McDicks for two double cheeseburgers, fries and a bottle of water. It’s the best worst thing.

Once again Trump is lacking leadership.

When asked about what guidelines would be put in place to reopen the meat packing plants, such as increased social distancing, mandatory PPE and what not Trump said "That is for them to figure out".

Meat packing plant workforces are primarily made up of immigrants and migrants because of their low wages and bad working conditions.

Along with the lack of guidance, the Trump administration has absolved them of any liability. How does that help change things for Safety. If they don't have too, and don't have to worry about lawsuits, what motivation do they have to spend money for safer working conditions?

Big commercial labs given priority for coronavirus testing equipment by feds

Hospitals, clinics and point-of care medical centers across the country continue to grapple with critical shortages in testing supplies, more than a dozen lab personnel, state officials and medical associations say
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

This is disturbing. The feds are prioritizing coronavirus testing equipment to only the largest commercial labs.

Local hospitals and labs who have the capacity to run coronavirus tests are unable to do so because they are lacking supplies. They are having to send the majority out to one of a couple different large corporate labs to process the tests.

Even more disturbing, in the video during an interview, a supplier was quoted as saying "We have the supplies you need, but we can't sell them to you".

And this is all due to the Feds behind the scenes prioritizing supplies for big commercial labs leaked documents show. Two of these such labs account for more than half of the nations testing.
 
We are also heading down the road that the vaccine we get will be from a US Pharmaceutical Giant. We will likely have to settle for whatever they put out even if it's not the best or first.

The feds are also prioritising Us Pharma Giants when it comes to attention and funding currently. If you are a small company, an university medical research facility or a drug company from another country you are being ignored by the feds. No funding, no attention. You are not on their radar.

Devil’s advocate for a second, that’s who will have the manufacturing capacity and distribution networks in place to make millions of doses and ship them where they need to be fairly quickly. As a practical matter, a university lab might do great research but won’t have those capabilities to immediately put that stuff in motion. Might not be enough of a rationale for what we’re seeing but I’m guessing that’s a front runner for the justification they would give (along with lots of bs about the free market and the invisible hand).

Yes, but also shouldn't it be one vaccine world wide made by multiple different pharmaceutical companies? Why does it have to be exclusive to one big pharmaceutical company who is poised to make Millions if not Billions off this vaccine?

Ideally you would have a vaccine developed and studied, and mass produced by multiple pharmaceutical companies.

What if the first and best vaccine comes from Canada or Germany? And we have the ability to mass produce it here in the US as well, but don't because we want ours to be developed, and produced here on US soil.

Money / profits are the driving matter her more than capacity and distribution networks.
