apple now shows testing sites via apple maps now. but get a load of this...

I looked at the map and yes there are many testing sites in Austin....all west of I-35. Nothing, zero, zip, nadda in east Austin. East Austin is predominately a minority population. This is so fucked up. Is it any wonder that African-Americans are leading the in the numbers of those who died of this virus?

this just fucking pisses me off. fucking racist texas.

In Jacksonville, both testing sites are in very low demographics areas that are majority minority, and this is red ass FL.

Are they going to Jared's stockpile to be sold to the highest bidder or used to buy votes for November?

To have the country in the hands of incompetent, corrupt assholes at a time like this, well, it's pissed me off so much I unfriended everyone I know who voted for Trump. Fuck them. Fuck them all to fucking hell, every last one of them.

Did MSM even cover the few stories where it was reported that supplies were seized diverted?

I have not been able to find any investigative reporting on this.

Seems as if state officials say they received a phone call "from FEMA," the or supplies never arrive & no one knows who the person(s) are who are callling states.

Neither has it been stated in articles I have seen whether states have paid up front for med supplies and if FEMA is paying the states (or suppliers, if orders are not pre-paid)!

This definately goes to the root of the problem & likely one major reason why repukes are attempting to force workers & the public back into highly contagious scenarios: greed! Greed is, after all, repukes' first commandment! 🤬🤬🤬

but you would think the hijacking/profiteering of med supplies/testing kits would be the top story everywhere.

If the media insists on covering these pathetic daily lying sessions of his, then the least they could do is start every session with these questions and not ask anything different until he answers: 1) Where are the tests for EVERY ONE? 2) Where is the PPE for hospital and essential workers, who you want to force back to work?

Just do not let shitstain speak until questions are answered.

They should ask why his admin is stealing PPE & whether his goal is to kill us all! If he says no, then ask wtf are you actually doing to stop the spread & tens of thousands of deaths? 🤬🤬🤬
