Because it would take years to test 300 plus million people?


Bingo....

And the total population of Taiwan is 23 million...

Theres a reason The Donald always says we have tested more than all X countries.
and we have tests available..

He’s smart enough to know that they will push the everyone tested meme, and will turn the Mighty Midget on them to remind them tests are only good for one day etc.

Also the people demonstrating in Michigan are carrying signs saying “ Test Me”

Should have read the people of Michigan aren’t carrying signs saying Test Me.

Fingers faster than brain... :):)

Thank God. Finally somebody with a brain. Six weeks from conception to implementation. That alone is a miracle. On the lab side you don’t just put a new test online without doing parallel testing, writing a procedure, and then finally training employees. Unfortunately Americans demand instant gratification. They must have watched too much Bewitched as children.

Describe why testing is so important to you?

What are you going to do with the information from testing?

Describe why you thinking testing today isn’t invalid an hour from now?

“Why is massive testing important?
All other delay tactics have been exhausted.”

Bingo! This virus has always been political, never medical. Testing is a delay tactic. Not one person demanding testing has yet to give a rational answer as to why.

“It’s just a FLU bro.”

Actually, let’s change that narrative: IT HAS YET TO EVEN BE AS DAMAGING AS THE FLU! Far more have died from the flu in the same period of time.

In the same period of time the flu has gone around, idiots think the COVID-19 bug hasn’t. Think about that: People have been dying from the flu but the dramabug types think COVID-19 hasn’t somehow by magic.

COVID-19 is far less than the flu, which has spread to infect and kill far more than COVID-19.

Stop using Taiwan as comparison...”

Taiwan’s experience shows that testing works to help keep an economy open. So no, I won’t ignore it. But you’re free to put your hands over your ears and shout lalalalala if that’s your preferred coping mechanism

when is this bimbo up for reelection?

Partner, it looks like the state of Michigan made a huge mistake electing her as the Gov'mor of Michigan.

Sometimes it takes huge mistakes to realize that Democrats and maybe Rinos made a big mistake in electing Gretchen Whitmer as your Gov'nor, since yall do not deserve such a bad Gov'nor.

Just give us all the remedy and get out of the way.

Ska-rew “Big Pharma” and the AMA.

“... we have to know exactly how much we have” (without saying “how much” is the threshold we are seeking). This is nonsense.”

Stupid plus ill-informed is no way to go thru Faber.

They’re already talking about how this would work - sport executives say they’ll quick-test people before letting them into stadiums, for example.

So we are supposed to wait around for 10-15 minutes for a test result before going into a baseball game? How much extra will that add on to a ticket? Will you get a refund if they deny you entry? No thanks. Sports stadiums can stay empty. That is ludicrous.
