Every time they ask about testing, they spew various statistics and things that other people are doing and don't admit that the answer is no we don't. The word salad doesn't answer the question. And you can't open the economy until you get an honest answer.

Reading this, and about how some epidemiologists in California think the coronavirus might have begun to spread last fall, and I'm curious: did anyone else, especially if you travel a lot, have a flu-like illness you just couldn't shake late last year? https://t.co/G8KSzIpN2d

TRUMP: “I think the economy is going to do very well. Now that’s just my feeling. It’s a strong feeling. I’ve had good, proper feelings about a lot of things over the years and I think we’re going to do well." pic.twitter.com/MqZgpa1vbQ

Because it’s not enough that @realDonaldTrump’s incompetence is killing people, his administration is now effing up the small biz loan program. He doesn’t care about anyone and surrounds himself with lackies and dolts. https://t.co/fBEa4kEREj

Testing is the only thing that will save us from the worst of this, but Trump doesn't want to do it because he thinks keeping *his* numbers down makes him look more successful than actually defeating the virus. https://t.co/c4AB74cCNz

The Pence just say “We have known from the beginning this is at least 3x more infectious than the flu.” If that true, why The Donald spend 2 month saying “It will go away.” “It’s very mild.” “It’s like the flu.” ?? #PublicHealthFailure #COVIDー19 #Coronavirus

With Boris Johnsons father posting pics of himself at his holiday home (strange thing to do while his son is in ICU?) & media strengthening the comparisons between Johnson & Churchill (both overcoming major health scares) do the British public feel like they are being played yet?
