    The U.S. Border is effectively closed to foreigners now -- only allowing U.S. citizens and residents in. These are nearly the same exact rules as in New Zealand. Explain to us the differences in policy between the two countries.

    Or it wasn't as deadly as they said it was back then.

    Viruses do tend to mutate to a weaker version over time to co-exist with their host. I don't know how fast that process happens. I doubt it is this fast.

    You never asked a reasonable question. You were making a statement.

    Obviously we have closed our borders just like New Zealand did -- limiting entry only to U.S. citizens & residents. So there is no question to ask.

    Are you trying to state our policy for borders is greatly different than New Zealands?

    nope... I asked you a simply question... and you refuse to answer because you have "adaptive" integrity.

    More than half of states may be undercounting coronavirus cases by not following CDC guidelines


    (CNN)At least 28 states are not following US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines on reporting new Covid-19 cases -- half of which saw the trend of new cases increasing in the last week.

    Those states are not reporting probable cases, according to the daily case count listed on the CDC's website. Probable cases include those that show evidence of an infection without the confirmation of a lab test and cases where coronavirus was listed as a cause or contributing cause of death but are not confirmed with a lab test.

    Some of the states with the largest populations -- like California, Florida, New York and Texas -- are among those listed as not reporting probable cases, despite CDC guidance that they should be included in the case count.

    Moving backwards...

    Arizona state health director tells hospitals to activate emergency plan
    https://www.abc15.com/news/state/adhs-director-tells-hospitals-to-activate-emergency-plan

    The Arizona Department of Health Services director sent out a letter this weekend, informing hospitals in our state to "fully activate" their facility emergency plans.

    In doing so, the hospitals are going to be preparing surge beds, cross-training staff, and possibly reducing or suspending elective surgeries to "ensure adequate bed capacity for both COVID and non-COVID admissions."

    The Saturday letter states the hospitals need to identify additional ICU and inpatient beds to meet the 50 percent additional bed increase.

    The state's hospitals now must determine whether or not to move their facilities from conventional care to contingency care, and also prepare for crisis care.

    PHOENIX — The Arizona Department of Health Services director sent out a letter this weekend, informing hospitals in our state to "fully activate" their facility emergency plans.

    In doing so, the hospitals are going to be preparing surge beds, cross-training staff, and possibly reducing or suspending elective surgeries to "ensure adequate bed capacity for both COVID and non-COVID admissions."

    The Saturday letter states the hospitals need to identify additional ICU and inpatient beds to meet the 50 percent additional bed increase.

    The state's hospitals now must determine whether or not to move their facilities from conventional care to contingency care, and also prepare for crisis care.

    The letter was dated the same day that ADHS director Dr. Cara Christ told ABC15 that her department's staff had made errors and reported incorrect hospitalization numbers since April on the Arizona Department of Health Services coronavirus dashboard.

    ADHS miscalculated the number of hospital beds currently available and in use in Arizona, due to staff members' confusion about the hospitals' licensed bed capacity and surge capacity.
