They only want “mass testing” to delay reopening the economy so that Trump will crash and burn in November. That’s it. The only reason.
People will think you’re crazy for stating that, but I have seen it with my own eyes. Many of these ambitious politicians believe in NOTHING except themselves. They do not care if they are making deals with the devil (China, Vietnam, Iran with Obama), if they sell out Americans (offshoring years past), or make strategic blunders (leave Iraq when we did - purely to get reelected).
All is fine in politics. So no, your statement is not absurd even though it may appear that way to some.
