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.

Testing will get us to the most engaged place we can go without turning the nation into a COVID ward. That's all. Since we've been horrible at everything related to this pandemic, and the bad performance has been intentional on the part of the White House, how does testing make the Orange One look good or even open the economy more than a tad? We're 4% of the world's population but have 25% of the COVID cases and deaths. Testing can't change that.

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.

Yes, you could blame Cuomo, and he's even taken some blame on himself, but he didn't leave the country wide open to travelers from Europe. That was a Federal decision, and one that triggered the entire outbreak in NYC. We know that because the virus in NYC is different that the one that came to the West Coast from China. Note: Trump handed out supplies to friends -- many who didn't even need them, but he stiff armed NYC because they bad mouthed him. That's as petty as it gets. Then, when the hospitals were overwhelmed, he pointed fingers., Nice guy!

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.

Fox and "real experts" is oxymoronic. It's amazing that they are still believed by anyone. Feel free to watch and listen, but don't bitch when the "information" proves deadly.
