Georgetown is forever disgraced. I'll never understand how his supporters tolerate the lying. In this case it has cost folks their lives.

On March 10, Pence pledged 4 million tests by the end of that week. 35 days later we still haven't passed that threshold.

On March 10, Pence pledged 4 million tests by the end of that week. 35 days later we still haven't passed that threshold. I can agree with this. A week ago Friday I went to the hospital due to food poisoning and was released. I saw my primary care physician and when I requested the corona virus test, I was advised the same thing that the hospital said that without a fever, running nose , sneezing that I could not be allowed to take the test without paying $3000 to $4000 dollars as seemingly healthy doctors could not refer me to a testing nor would my govt. insurance cover the copay due to a lack of available test for the people showing symptoms. So if you are without insurance like the homeless or now jobless americans or on furlough good luck trying to get a test even if asymptomatic. Just does not seem wise to open the country nor states back up in a for profit healthcare system like ours without nation wide testing given freely. Without free nation wide testing from coast to coast trying to get this plague under control is nowhere close to realistic. Reasons like this is why the USA is the world leader in cases in and deaths. Though China may really be the world leader as my Asian friends keep saying that China is cremating thousands of bodies on a daily basis in spite of reopening Wuhan to the rest of China.

"The flu, in our country, kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year," he said on February 9, suggesting that it dwarfed the 15 cases of COVID-19 that had been reported in the U.S. at the time.
"I had a long talk with President Xi — for the people in this room — two nights ago, and he feels very confident. He feels that, again as I mentioned, by April or during the month of April, the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus." - Donald J. Trump, February 10, 2020
Number of COVAD-19 deaths: 35,241 as of April 17, 2020 at 11:40 am
Republicans continue to support this sociopath. Makes ya proud to be a GOPer no doubt!

The irony is that if he ceded the stage to the experts and let them run the show, he’d probably be more popular than ever.

He's spent this morning on Twitter trying to incite people to disobey the guidelines that his experts have put in place.

Because from the start, the most consistent thing about his response is he views this as a political crisis, not a health crisis.

“The recent statements of Dr. Phil McGraw (a former psychologist), Dr. Mehmet Oz (a former cardiothoracic surgeon), and Dr. Drew Pinsky (a former internal medicine resident and specialist in addiction) making sweeping comments about the wisdom of the lockdowns and dangers of the coronavirus have brought new scrutiny. Why, it’s almost as if doctors who specialize in one area of medicine may not be reliable experts on other areas of medicine, such as virology and epidemiology. It’s even imaginable that the best doctors in the country don’t end up spending their weekdays on daytime talk shows, and that the confident assuredness and sweeping proclamations that make someone entertaining on television do not necessarily make for good health recommendations. Meanwhile, another famous doctor who is on television a lot is making a different recommendation to the city of Philadelphia: “In the middle of the coronavirus outbreak, the best way to show Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection is by keeping your social distance.” It is nice to know that no matter how bad things get, we can still trust Dr. Julius Erving.“ www.nationalreview.com/corner/doctors-pepper-doom-and-strange-could-not-be-reached-for-comment/

Trump cultists . . .
Conservative groups across the United States organized protests to local restrictions this weekend, even as the country surpassed 700,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus on Saturday. The demonstrations, which have bubbled up in Maryland, Utah, Texas, California, Arizona, Washington and Colorado, come as several governors have taken steps to gradually reopen their states and ease restrictions — some of which kicked in this weekend.

The United States is 4th in pure numbers of tests. We are 38th in # of tests per 1,000 population, after New Caledonia (it's an island in the Pacific near Borneo).
We also have 5 times as many cases as any other developed nation.
