Trump says doing too much coronavirus testing makes the US 'look bad'

Trump says doing too much coronavirus testing makes the US 'look bad'

"So the media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad," Trump said during a meeting with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

It's the testing, stupid.

Antibodies testing so can track who has had covid-19, so the country can reopen wisely.

The dead people are still dead.
Coroners & MEs are still required by law to determine cause of death.
So, we'd still have 78k dead, with 130,000 confirmed cases.
Dead is dead. What's making the USA look bad is the poor response that led to 78,000+ deaths and counting.
What a dolt!

All data shows proof heavy testing helps contain , and reduce the spread of this virus. His claims based on stupidity shows he could care less about the American peoples safety, welfare, and health, and makes me wonder if he's really working for Putin, which the unread acted Mueller report coming out with all his taxes could show he is. Is Hillary right?

Most Americans consider themselves lucky if they somehow get to be tested once. We are not worried about "looking bad". We are worried about staying alive.

Nasal swab, results tomorrow.

Our community has enough to go around, I was encouraged to be tested due to age and history.

The only reason this has not and cannot occur is because of the GOP in Congress. There is also responsibility due his sycophants placed in high places. At best a huge deficit in future function of the nation is cascading deeper daily. Shit could get much worse.
