Good grief, it’s not like the test is going to cure the darn virus.

No it won’t. But it will tell us what has to be done to slow and eventually stop the spread of the virus. Personally I think that the slow start of testing is unfortunate but hardly the disaster that the Marxist Stream Media is pushing.

If testing really ramps up and is widespread we could come out of this OK. The reason is that right now the number of cases we know about are relatively small - in the hundreds.

But it really needs to ramp up quickly to allow self-quarantining of those who are infected. That should be possible. It will slow the spread of the virus that is currently doubling every 2-3 days.

And I’m betting the travel restrictions are going to have to ramp up. Italy is certainly a candidate. A tough decision for Trump but he should do it. At the minimum we need to test everyone getting off a plane from Italy.

suggesting Trump was willing to sacrifice Americans on a cruise ship as so not to increase the number of people infected by COVID-19.

Tapper went on to suggest that the President was trying to 'keep the numbers low' and that that was a 'p.r. decision' and not a 'health decision.

The dumbass doesn't understand that 'keeping the numbers low' means that less people become infected. That is the ultimate 'health decision'.

The derps will say ANYTHING.
