Fact or Fiction.

Anyone that wants a test can get one. He said this twice now. In what you could call a two month delayed response and then again yesterday that ANYONE could get a test if they wanted one. Lied both times and then was corrected , by the Admiral, ....ONLY THOSE WITH SYMPTOMS AND MEET THE CRITERIA CAN GET A TEST. ASYMPTOMATIC, that have proven to be carriers are NOT allowed tests.

He does not want us tested. Period. I have no clue how he thinks he can cover this all up.

2. The criteria varies. In my state you can get a test if asymptomatic. But there aren't enough tests

for every individual who wants one. And, I know first hand as a result of a friend who is still hospitalized that the tests aren’t reliable. He was tested three times and wasn’t confirmed as positive until he was intubated.

5. Yet the President called this all a hoax.

A Democratic hoax that now he is being tested for daily as is the VP and all that come into his office. Staffers are required now to wear masks, when only the other day he demanded that a member of the press remove their mask if they wanted to ask him a question.

I am so very sorry about your friend,lll. I hope he pulls through.

3. i'm increasingly struck by how many things are not only 180 off, but

exponentially off.

4. Here in NC

you can now be tested if you have been exposed. thankfully. it wasn't always this way.

oh yeah, and it's no thanks to trump. Governor Cooper and his team are following the science. more diplomatically than i would be, but at least they are. the propaganda pushing an instant reopening is everywhere and the media reports on it to a fault.

11. Charlotte has been identified as a hot spot

With any luck, Cooper will tell the Republican National Committee, sorry, no in person convention here for Republicans in August.

13. the terribly sad thing is

the amount of pushback he'll get. So far he has not backed off his insistence on these decisions being data based, but the pressure on him is enormous and republicans still have both houses in the GA. NC republicans are among the very worst.

6. KNR. He thinks he can get away with it because his kool-ade drinking sheeples believe every word he

says. And they believe they don't need testing, because this whole thing is a hoax. No virus, no dead, no overwhelmed health-care system. Little inconsistencies, and pesky little things like facts bother them not one whit.

7. The Republicant's have their oft-repeated Obama mantra:

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."

Will we now have a comparable mantra with which to torment Chump?

"Anyone who wants a test can get a test. Americans should all be able to get a test right now."

or

“We have met the moment, and we have prevailed."

8. My dentist told me today about a site where they have tests

This is in the state capital - Albany. She and her assistant both were tested because they thought they should since they're seeing patients with current dental issues, both tested negative. Since I don't have symptoms, I chose to pass - she said it costs $89.

9. KR.. TY, she!

10. Trumps own words, "....So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad."

12. He is stupid enough to keep saying "anyone who wants one",

Right after someone else says “350 mil people - it’s impossible” and “needed” and “test the minimum”...just don’t get why he’s that’s thick headed.

14. If Asymptomatic...

...I know of nowhere within 30 miles where we could get tested.
And we only live 60 miles from downtown Chicago.
Illinois is only testing 12-18,000 per day. There's 12.5 million of us.
That's a rate of 833 days to test everyone here, ONCE!!
And it's now the middle of May, not late February.
