By ignoring the TRUMP SCUM SUCKING ASSHOLES and tested swabs for a flu study. The first swab he checked tested positive for Corona Virus. UW researchers waited weeks to discover the community transfer BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S APPOINTEES STOPPING TESTING.
I am sure the person from the University of Washington was telling the truth about this.
Imagine how many lives would have been saved if we started testing and quarantining people a month ago in Washington State.
These people are murderers.
All so Trump can look "better" to his cult of psychopaths.
Just saw this on Chris Hayes doing Rachel's show. The head dude in charge of the virus response for the University of Washington said this about the doctor ignoring the feds and testing for Corona without their approval. Then finding it in the samples.
People are dying because Trump wants to look good.
Please Rec.
This is life and death. Way too much death.
How many needlessly need to die so Trump can massage the "numbers" ?????

(14,951 posts)UW might worry about loss of federal funding (should Trump win re-election), and pressure such people. But it's a different kettle of fish than trying to call the Trump-appointed (or -retained, anyhow) HHS or CDC people.
If Trump et al want to refute testimony from those UW people, they would be welcome to testify under oath, and provide relevant confirming documents. Otherwise they can STFU and remain un-refuted in the oath-sworn Congressional record.

(4,619 posts)This is the worst thing I have heard so far. Saying no to testing when people were dying like flies in China, and traveling here.
This is negligent homicide.
Dr. Kim Schrier was just on CNN and "didn't want to get political".
Trump is delaying testing for "politics" and Democrats don't want to get political?
My god. She is a doctor.
I am not trashing her, but people are dying because we are not POUNDING REPUBLICANS protecting Trump while he plays politics WITH our LIVES.

(4,619 posts)The CDC said don't test the samples in your freezer, even though you know something is going on. Send in an application in the mail to apply for testing.
This is murder.

(4,619 posts)Not sure who "they" were, but they were talking about the UW at the time.
Maybe we could have confirmed community spread in January possibly?
I don't want to speculate, but If I die, I want the record to be complete at least.

Everything King Shart Midas touches turns to crap. You can bank on it.

After ignoring the feds. The hunted the student down and stopped him as he was entering his high school.
Medal of Freedom for the doctors who ignored Trump?

It was February 28th when they stopped the student from entering the school sick. They started asking to test samples on the 10th.
