Such a late rollout: You don’t even have to consider the veracity of this excuse based on that.

People are saying that this is a standard embassy statement for their citizens who happen to be outside their country of origin.
Unfortunately, this warning came at the same time that several studies point to an amazing increase in the number of cases of this disease in the country.
That kind of news these days makes anyone nervous.

don’t see them arguing about closing visa offices, canceling citizen naturalization and green card applications being unconstitutional either, even if it probably is.
thankfully, since the country’s “open for business” we should see those restarting any day now. yup. any day.

The incoherence … troublingly accurate
A: Having no plan is the plan! Haven’t you been listening? Plans are for commies and the Danish. Here we do it fast and loose and dumb and wrong, and occasionally we have a man who manufactures pillows come to the White House to show the president encouraging texts.

Sure, speculation isn’t unscientific. It is very much part of the scientific method. A first step.
I do not exclude the possibility that the virus arrived earlier than currently known. However, that speculation or hypotheses in this direction so far lack corroborating evidence.
I hope I didn’t piss you off? I feel slightly misrepresented by your wording and assume some tension: I am definitely not treating sentences from two-months old interviews as “gospel”. But so far, I’ve not heard more of evidence other than some positive PCR tests which might or might not hold up to scrutiny. Hence, I urge caution before we jump to conclusions.

Additionally, medical professionals do have a weekend (even though they have rotating shifts), so hospitals are often understaffed on the weekends. Paperwork isn’t that important, all patients are.
Seriously? O_o
Haven’t noticed this bullshit that around here. Some journos asked early on in press conferences why official figures sometimes where corrected in hindsight (because day of taking the sample, not day of report, is counted). That was cleared up early on. Easter was quite a bump, FTR.
In Germany,
but especially in the US.
I would guess that also is due to differences in the reporting chain, and possibly also due to differences in correcting figures (see above) after reporting.
(FTR, data from ECDC. Might also play a role.)

WTF? Also, conspiracy theorists will have a ball with this. Wanna bet it gets linked to the epidemic of Russian gravity storms sucking doctors out windows?
