Pence doubled down on an argument health experts refuted days earlier.

if testing was stopped, there would be few cases, Pence pointed toward a “historic” increase in testing that has “played a role in the new cases.”

Pence also blamed the media for not focusing on the"sacrifices the American people made" to slow the spread of Covid-19, and disagreed that Trump is “undermining confidence in testing” before pointing to increased testing again—for the second time—as an explanation for the jump in cases.those claims, saying that the positivity rate along with the number of tests must be taken into account to determine whether an outbreak is worsening.

Nationwide, the U.S.’ positivity rate was 21% in April, and as of last week is just under 5%, which is a positive sign that fewer people are being infected; however,Some of the states that are seeing higher positivity rates, like Arizona and Florida are also states where Pence“The virus doesn’t know federalism,” anchor John Dickerson told Pence during the interview, referring to how state and local governments share authority with the federal government.

These lunatics in The White House seem to really believe all those idiotic things the say 😂

Bullshit!!

Pray for Pence to develop a brain people. Pray pray pray.

Why do fire departments respond to those pesky 911 calls? Making cities/towns look bad! 🙄

Do you think Pence knows anything about Statistics? Even if he did, he knows nothing about the concept of honesty.

Willing to jeopardize the lives of many because their response to the virus in the first place was trash, the numbers are in the worst case scenario, and they need to sweep it under the rug. Trump is willing to kill us the American people for his political agenda. TrumpKillsUS

Fucken bullshit . Neither party cares that we see them. It's not ignorance. IntellectualSkillGap?Dollars, property,power,freedom... Responsiblility2secrOpportunities2 live,VOTE, healthcare not on private interests or4profits

If only we stopped tracking the days in the calendar after 2019 then we wouldn’t have been in 2020.

Mike Pence's history managing HIV crisis in Indiana under scrutiny now that he's overseeing coronavirus.

Since Corona virus and the many stupid actions of the Trump administration and his followers, I am forced to ask how the US became a world power?

O_o so agree with .... T.

Classic yes-man!

1. If you're lying to the American people endangering public health, you shouldn't be VP 2. If you are actually so stupid you believe that, you shouldn't be VP 3. In either case you might be the absolute worst choice to head the Covid 19 response team

M-O-R-O-N

as he gazes adoringly at Trump......

Don’t know why I thought he was smarter than this.

Truth

The VP is a worthless putz.

CommonSense matters

And that's why the percentage testing positive is going up, right? Makes complete sense...

Because Pence doesn’t understand statistical sampling it will have to be outlawed. If we eliminate the use of tombstones the mortality rate will go down too.

Pence is a lying peon.

If there weren’t so many thermometers this summer wouldn’t be so hot..

This guy is full of crap!
