How do you do that when the administration is blocking the tests?

Why would he be blocking the tests, it's not in his interest to block the tests? You better double check your information again because that  doesn't make any sense.

The more tests you perform, the more people you find who are infected.  Trump cares little for how effective he is at fighting the disease, but cares a lot about how well he is perceived of as fighting the disease.  In his mind, that is best done with fewer tests, thus fewer reported cases.

The doctors have a different perspective, of course.  They want to see who has the bug and isolate them, but you can't do that without tests.  Trump has not used the Defense Procurement Act to declare tests and test equipment critical.  That means few tests.  Making Trump look better is the only plausible motive anyone has come up with, but as you say it makes no sense.  He is making it harder to fight the disease, which is only making him look worse.

I don’t feel a lot of need to check it as Rachel has been hammering that point home every night.  It is old news if you keep up with the coastal media.  I'm vaguely amazed you have keep yourself from hearing it.

Really? You think more testing that proves that we can start getting back to normal for the most part isn't in his interest. The issue with the lack of testing is that we don't manufacture stuff as much as we should in this country and we don't have issues with pandemics that often either. Now, I could blame the governor of New York pissing away billions on everything else than what the state needed to combat a pandemic and save lives. I could call him a murderer for forcing nursing homes to deal with COVID19 patients to prevent overloading the healthcare system. I could but I won't bother because it helps no one to do it at this point. I don't believe what the state run coastal media has to say about anything these days. You're hooked bit I'm not. Well, while she does her job and you watch as she's doing her job, I'm going to watch Fox and see what all the REAL experts have to say about what's going on these days.
