Testing. Testing. Testing.

Trump earlier today said that mass testing for COVID19 makes America look weak.

Later that day we find out that his personal valet tested positive. He and Pensive were IMMEDIATELY tested for the virus. Then later we hear they will be tested daily as the WH calls for all WH staff to be tested. Anyone that flies with him or in contact with him will be tested. Guess that makes the dump and all that work for him look weak.

As for the rest of us, we get nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

3. Well, that's all we're asking -- that all US "staff" be able to be tested regularly

If they had been testing "all WH staff daily", the valet would have been detected and cared for sooner AND not infected anyone else.

It's the only way to find the infected and contagious and give them the care they need away from the uninfected -- which will in turn allow the herd immunity of the uninfected to kick in as the states reopen.
