President Trump on Thursday suggested the practice of widespread coronavirus testing may be "overrated," even as health experts insist it is critical to safely loosen restrictions and reopen businesses.
Trump boasted about the United States's testing capabilities during remarks at a Pennsylvania medical equipment distribution center, where he announced the country has administered 10 million tests since the outbreak began.
"We have the best testing in the world," Trump told employees at Owens & Minor Inc. in Allentown. Could be that testings, frankly, overrated. Maybe it is overrated."
But we have the greatest testing in the world, he added. But what we want is we want to get rid of this thing. Thats what we want."

(3,836 posts)to pathetic loser impotus trump, in the simplest words possible, that people will still die from Covid-19 whether or not they are tested, and will most likely take many folks with them. To infer that testing for Covid-19 means the virus IS there and killing folks, while not testing means the virus is NOT there and can't possibly harm anyone is unbelievably obtuse and ignorant. Maybe he didn't really say this, maybe it is satire of some kind. Hard to believe someone who is suing for unlimited power could be this deficient.
