And in Canada it's the right wingers (ie MEM) who are now whining about the shipment of medical supplies from Canada to China in February.
This nonsense comes from both sides of the political spectrum.

I don't take MEM or rinselberg too seriously. MEM posts from GodLikeProductions and rinselberg posts from Mother Jones and both are laughing like Batman's nemesis. They are like twins, separated at birth.

I saw the same thing and for now, I will guess that it is a glitch. I don't trust it until I see a few more days of a consistent trend, and still, I will be skeptical.
If you look at the chart above the graphs, there are only two states reporting new cases today, and that just can't be right. It would be nice, but it just doesn't seem likely.

Yep, generally, this time of night, the reporting for the previous day that just ended less than an hour earlier is very incomplete. Still, one can hope.
I saw today, that Texas has issued a mandate that anyone coming into the state from Louisiana has to go into 14 day self isolation. This state so far, is not in the extreme isolation rules some other states have declared. I can (so far) go anywhere I want in the state, walk around anywhere I wish without a problem as long as I stay away from other people. Bank lobbies are mostly closed except "by appointment only" but people are very much keeping their distance at the walkup ATM and are sharing hand sanitizer if needed and most wipe down the keys before and after using the keypad.
The local grocery store I use has a worker standing there, spraying down shopping carts and handing out wipes. People are taking it seriously and hopefully, it will all prove to be advantageous.
I'm not really adversely affected by all this much but If the barber shops don't open back up soon Willie, my hair is gonna be looking like yours.
I don't mind it long in the winter, but it's done getting in the upper 80s now and I really don't like sweat running off my hair in front and dripping down in my eyes. Guess I need a willie nelson headband....got so much hair now my hat don't fit right.

What I wanted to say, but inadvertently omitted from my previous message... well, two things actually. But I'll collapse it to just one thing.
Now that China has its own coronavirus pandemic under control, or a reasonable semblance of under control, China has been providing important medical equipment and supplies to other affected nations. Not just the usual sales and shipments from China's manufacturers, but "extra." Like those shipments that Canada and the U.S. flowed to China back in February.
Aside from the national government of China, there has been PandAidTM (Pandemic Aid) coming out of China from Chinese philanthropists. Like Jack Ma, the Alibaba Group magnate, who is commonly described as the "wealthiest individual in China." Jack Ma has been providing generous financial support to one of the U.S.-based groups that is working on coronavirus vaccines and therapeutic medications.
Oh wait, I guess that was two things. But it could have been three things, if I hadn't taken the preventative action that I did.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-30-2020).]

Long ago, I decided to consider the source and simply move on with several folks. Similar to annoying insects, they go and come at their own discretion and there's not much we can do about it. Ignoring them works best for me.

Have you read the referenced guidance document?
Was it part of the system that was deemed " not up to the task at hand" by the virus response team?
