    “ Whatever he said, he said” ... You can’t even hold your own president accountable in the slightest bit?

    No, no, you’d rather blame the Dems.

    Weak and intellectually dishonest.

    Mirroring the trump administration.

    You actually think this is about the administration needing to “up their game”. Do you actually think that Trump WANTS to get test kits out there? That trump wants real data to be provided to the public?

    The only game that trump is interested in upping is his re-election odds, and all of his messaging regarding the public health crisis is for that purpose. I challenge you to come up with a credible explanation otherwise.

    How many people live in the United States (327.2 M)? And how many reported cases in the United States (395 reported so far)? btw, South Korea has tested 140,000 people so far.

    This segment from Chris Hayes last night is worth a watch.

    That 5,861 figure sounds like that's the total number of tests that have been done. If the CDC is retesting to confirm results, that figure might very well be inflated.

    "...a mix of high numbers of uninsured people, a lack of paid sick leave and a political class that has downplayed the threat could mean it spreads more quickly than in other countries."

    Why the US is so vulnerable to coronavirus outbreak
    High numbers of uninsured people mean it could spread more quickly than in other countries

    Probably contracted it during the "Coronavirus is a Deep State Hoax" session...

    The entire article is well worth reading...

    Trump’s Coronavirus Press Event Was Even Worse Than It Looked
    His remarks at the CDC on Friday were misguided, misleading, and show how misinformation could hamper Covid-19 containment efforts.

    This can't be real?

    Trump: "... the tests are beautiful."

    What the ever-loving hell.

    Has anyone plotted his adjective variety over time? It seems like he's down to "fake," "perfect," "nasty," and "beautiful."

    Is there any more news conference with Pence on the Fed Gov response?

    Any more update on the test capacity? With the delayed rollout of the promised 1m test kits, if it's not going to happen very soon, do they have plan B, such as importing the test kits other countries are using at this moment?

    Is anyone even asking basic questions about preparedness and plans?

    I think this tip might be more helpful than the advice coming from the POTUS recently...

    If nothing else, I finally have a use for the wipes I've been stockpiling. Thank you so much!

    If it’s not clear, Trump and Pence were at that conference,

    Trump is "not concerned at all” as virus impacts CPAC, DC


    “I’m not concerned at all.”

    That was President Donald Trump's response to reporters who asked if he was worried about being exposed to coronavirus after an attendee at CPAC, which he had been to, tested positive for the virus and Washington, DC announced a presumptive positive case.​


    For ****s sake.

    maybe we should get MS13 and a caravan infected with coronavirus on it's way to the border trending on twitter. Then he might leap into action with his willfully gullible cult or just start talking about big strong Mexicans and a beautiful wall.

    Just in case you worried about people getting sick, or going broke, or even dying... Good news, trump can still have campaign rallies...
