the proof is the truth that donald trump does not want testing

Less test equals less deaths right? Someone failed math and science, the took “ignorance is bliss “ literally. God help us

Fudging the numbers by not testing to those that do not pull back the curtains works? Realty is that don’t have the capacity to test or provide ICU beds, health care workers, PPE, body storage, coffins or graves to put them in. So sad when the truth hurts

Womp womp

I can't imagine why...

1 in 5 people tested has the virus. Jesus.

Seemingly the only halfway competent, reasonable member of the administration tasked with dealing with the coronavirus outbreak, around him orbits a universe populated by gushy Facebook posts, Debra Messing’s tweets, daytime talk show hosts ardently defending him, and a whole host of QAnon adjacent conspiracy theories. This is a permanent facet of American politics now: a cult of celebrity, guided by the same forces that put Jennifer Aniston on the cover of every tabloid, in perpetuity.\n
