    You should try to get tested, if you can. On the outside chance that you do have it, by being around people, you could infect them, as well. You might not want to quarantine yourself, without knowing what's going on. That's going to be a huge problem for a huge number of people.

    In Austin, for example, where we live, it's the middle of a bad allergy season. Heck, more in the beginning and it's going to get worse. A lot of folks react to it badly this time of year, some get sinus infections, which can give you a low grade fever. You can cough some, as well. I used to get them (we paid a ton for a high tech filtration system when we replaced our 25 year old central air/heat system, including the duct work - it helps). I can imagine people at home wondering if they have this damn thing, or if it's "just" the allergies.

    This is why not having easy to get, widespread testing is such a terrible problem. This might be extreme, but if you can't get tested, could you rent a car, load up with some stuff, and drive home? It just popped into my head. ;-)

    Seems the call for open borders and free healthcare for the world talk has quieted down a bit.

    hrmm... not the healthcare part.
    “Open borders” was never anything but a false strawman anyway, but whatevs. Bigger fish. Onward.

    You mean the people that don't have money nor healthcare so don't go to the hospital or clinic to get tested? Then are more likely to interact with people to spread it faster and overwhelm hospitals? With the lack of tests in comparison to other developed nations also it sounds like healthcare for (not free moron) could actually help. But you do you sir.

    So tax paying, insurance buying American citizens be damned when the virus takes hold and the health systems are overwhelmed. Good to know you would forfeit your place at the clinic and hope you can out man it.

    because the only important issue in the Oval Office is how this pandemic affects Trump.

    The key word is American citizens. Your party has pushed for free healthcare and encouraged people from all parts to come get some which in itself will help the spread of the virus.

    I was going to say it's a good thing that an idiot that thinks like you doesn't run the country, but alas, an idiot that thinks like you does run the country.

    The virus will spread because of the holes in our health system.

    The previous admin laid out the blueprint on how to successfully tackle a similar outbreak. Our country will get this done.

    I would say self quarantine and get better Sweetness but I have watched your ignorance for far too long to know it’s not the fever talking.

    You can blame immigrants for all the problems in the world but the reality is that they weren't the cause of this in this country.

    It's not the Mexican's fault and it's not even the Chinese fault. The fault lies with the gross incompetence of not having proper testing and not having proper planning.

    Bull ****.... I guarantee you Trump has been tested numerous times and is scared to death to get it at his age and poor health... I bet everyone around him is being tested now.
