Absolutely unacceptable! Trump sends 18M tons of Med supplies 2 China, more to Russia & promises other countries supplies AND financial support! No vaccine for herpes/AIDs, may never have 4 COVID. Need tests, PPE, contact/trace, $$$. POTUS is ill-equipped to serve! 25thAmendment
I remember watching this guy back in early March. When he said March Madness would be cancelled I thought he was nuts. Look where we are now.
Fake news?
new york should be the last state to reopen..

BLAME fauci
Wow people in Arizona can get them easily the different between Democrat run and Republican run states
You can have mine from California. We don’t want them.
WTF is the governor and mayor doing get the testing and quit blaming others it’s your state you were elected to run it maybe more taxes might help
Governor Cuomo is an idiot. That's why NY had so many deaths.
OPEN UP NEW YORK!!!
Cluw_girl Why test - then you will know how many have the virus Trump logic
This is the beginning👇
CARES act, HR748, was introduced into the house 1 yr prior to the outbreak. This implies for knowledge.

that's why they deleted my tweet earlier?
According to the lastest information, this virus is one of the most infectious so far. It can be transmitted through fluid, spray, aerosol, surface, contaminated food or water etc. Washing your hand is not enough. It’s not just a flu.
Same thing happened in China more than a month ago, and China paid too much to fix it.... Shocked to see that US is making the same mistake.
The head right now only card about the election and stock market and pour dirty water to the “shut down” cities.
Sounds like an attempt to panic the public to me. How about something useful, like how to kill it. Disinfectants, what to watch for... fever, cough?
OMG，i heard it already has 1000 cases right now，we are all gonna die😭
Is Johns Hopkins being pressured by the trump administration to hold numbers updates on Covid 19 map until well after market close? That's what appeared to happen March 2nd. There were no real updates until 5:30PMEST. TrumpVirusCoverup

And , great interview except for the constant interruption from that annoying old dork.
Thank God for honest doctors. Be wise and listen!
CRIMINAL
Unacceptable.. But, still no need for fear or panic. It is time however for good solid fact based prudent decision making. With that in mind, we need to know what is the best practice right now for US domestic business air travel and overall domestic US travel.
Oh, you don't have them yet, but they're 'in the mail.' Pence said so. 😏

Poor Joe Kernan, looking so shocked and appalled at what happens when the federal budget for CDC and NIH is slashed and scientific staff eliminated ... because tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and corporations.
jennycohn1 This is Bad News. The US doesn’t have testing capability for the Virus. 😳

不检测就没有
the local state officer helps out with medical providers in handling and sending out specimen for testing under cdc guidelines.
They got the FDA to suspend rules to let States do their own testing of the new kits . That will make it faster . How did he not know that’s been in effect since Friday PM . Gov. Cuomo got that done with VP Pence.
Let me guess, this Dr didn’t vote for Trump? Lol
Thousands of tests going out today . 10’s of thousands more being processed this week . This was CDC error .
We don't even have enough test kits if New York City alone starts spreading the virus.
No comment
This guy was unbelievably dangerous , live on air complaining to people that could do nothing but be afraid of what he was saying . I thought, as an RN he was incredibly reckless . There were reports this weekend that the Test problem was corrected.
Good since almost no one has it
why this happened in NYC，same as wuhan
Why is this? Why is Trump tryna keep the truth from the people?
I'm in the hospital. After hearing the NY Dr. I want to run out of the hospital and I'm afraid of everything I touch. Was that his intent?
