Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Public Health and Preparedness Response (OPHPR) in Atlanta, Georgia, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Qiagen, LLP, under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 6.302-1, Other Than Full and Open Competition procedures and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, for the acquisition of laboratory equipment and installation services. The equipment is required for laboratory testing related to the coronavirus response. CDC must use the same equipment to standardize testing results. Only Qiagen manufactures this equipment.

This is not an extinction level event.
Well, based on Triton's predictions, at least 20% of ATS members will die. So it kinda is.

a reply to: TritonTaranis
the initial incubation was 14 days, now those on the frontline are saying 24
I've still only seen 1 source that says up to 24 days incubation period and that source (posted a few pages back) does not provide any context for why they had "up to 24 days" for the incubation period.
What am I missing here?
If I wrote a tweet about incubation period being 50 days, TritonTaranis would accept it and report it everywhere because it's the highest number, thus it sparks sensationalism.
Isn’t 14 days enough to worry about?
