STILL NO TESTING!!!

[Drahthaardogs]

My son's work has had a few cases. He got sick yesterday. Sore throat and cough. Today extreme fatigue. He asked to get tested, Dr's said no! Only testing health care workers and hospitalizations.

This is in the Midwest where Trump claims "low cases". Fucking LIAR!

1. Imagine what the real numbers are!

2. Testing might reveal the nakedness of the Emperor

n/t

9. We knew and saw he was NAKKKKKED moons ago.

He's also askeered he will be revealed to have no brain, no heart, no courage and no moral compass at all. No wizard, let alone his Oz, can fix.

3. But on March 6, Trump said anyone who wants a test can get a test

So, you know, it must be fake news or something that there's no testing.

12. I want reporters to hound him over that!

[gratuitous]

14. Me too

The next day, the HHS secretary came out to tell everyone what Trump really meant to say (it was complete bullshit), and the media completely let Trump off the hook. Again. I want to see Trump held to his reckless and wrong pronouncements without letting some flunky come out to "explain" or "clarify" what Trump meant to say. Donnie's a big boy; why can't he say what he means the first time, or explain himself personally?

4. I'm in Iowa - one of Chump's "beautiful states", I'm quite sure. There has been a ridiculous lack

of testing here as well, until there were sudden outbreaks involving hundreds of workers at meat-packing plants in Waterloo and Columbus Junction. Just like that, the do-nothing governor was suddenly hot to get hundreds of test kits to these two locations. "The business of Iowa is business"!!

5. Same here in the west, no testing for us commoners.

By the time we figure out that conservatives have waged an ethnic/political cleansing on our nation, it'll be too late for most of us.

Your son is in my thoughts. Best of luck to him.

6. Hope your son is okay. The non testing is giving people who only look at numbers,

the false sense of security they need to continue to support the orange fool.

7. The low number is because of the low (no) testing n/t

8. This is his biggest failure. Without testing we don't know who is sick so have to lock down.

I’m supposed to go in for some blood tests. Due to see doctor but will do a video visit. Seems to me everyone who has to go in for blood tests for any reason ought to be tested for the virus while they are there but even sick people cant get tested. WTF, billions for bailouts bug nothing for widespread testing?

11. How do they know about the other cases where he works?

how did the other people get tested?

At any rate, I hope your son's case is mild, and that he'll get well quickly.

15. A man was hospitalized

So he was tested.

13. Every time they test a particular population, many of them test positive for C-19.

And what minimal testing they're doing now just bolsters the need for even more extensive testing. Trump would rather keep the number of infections low; an increase in new infections would only hamper his desire to reopen the economy.
