Trump is playing this brilliantly.....give Dem governors the rope to hang themselves with.....and then, at the appropriate time, have some local GOP surrogate act as the hangman, while keeping his own hands clean

I vehemently disagree in that the elderly are being used as sacrificial pawns.

We need the economy opened but the elderly need to be protected. We aren’t going to test the whole nation but targeted testing should be done where it makes sense. Anyone entering nursing homes should be tested since there are machines that can do it quickly. I would also say that day care centers need regular testing since children carry with no symptoms so they could start a chain that would quarantine many on a regular basis if one family with a child in a daycare tests positive.

These are just a couple of ideas to make opening safer. But in order for that to happen Trump would have to use his powers to start many more companies making the machines and tests capable of testing quickly. But he has been silent on this. I think these decisions should have been made long ago and I think many elderly have died because of it. From that very important perspective I think Trump has done a poor job leading through this crisis.
