Coronavirus government response updates: Pelosi says she will 'insist on the truth' from Trump on testing

House lawmakers were returning to Washington Wednesday amid a highly contagious pandemic to vote tomorrow on the Senate-passed $484 billion interim relief package that replenishes a small business loan program and also boosts funding to hospitals and testing, as Democrats demanded.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi touted that success in an interview Wednesday morning, and in a moment self-reflection, said she probably should be speaking out more strongly with President Donald Trump moving forward.
"We must start to insist on the truth with the president. This is what, the conclusion I came to on Easter Sunday. I was saying, other people are being political, they are not speaking out strongly enough. And then I realized, maybe I'm not either," Pelosi told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"I don't want to be political, we want to do this in a unified way, every bill bipartisan. But the fact is, if the president refuses to accept evidence, data, truth and the rest, we must insist on the truth because that is the path," she said.
She suggested the president doesn't want to be truthful about testing because "he doesn't want to know the numbers, probably."

The president should send her 10 pages of “truth”.
All torn up in little pieces for her convenience.

I thought people whose bodies passed the threshold of 51% Botox content were immune to all viruses. Guess not.

Not that it has been determined the country isn’t going to lose 2+ million people to COVID-19, the DEMs and press everywhere are going all out to push people hard-left. Heaven help us if they win the House and the Senate.

State by State testing is a 50-state scam. I am getting solicitations by e-mail 5 per day. Just send them $19 and get results....never say what they are good for. though. State by state testing must be the progressive way to sc*ew us.

Pelosi says she will ‘insist on the truth’ from Trump on testing
*******
Using the metric of long standing, undeniable and completely consistent leftist psychological projection, ol’ Pelosi just admitted she’s lying through her teeth on the issue.

Pelosi playing her role in the never ending tale of the taking over of America. She knows damn well those companies are all deep state, big pharma buddies and will do anything to get the numbers that's needed.
Ideal Rehab has received approval to import a serology test from Healgen Scientific, a China-based medical-device manufacturer, according to the distributor's law firm, Fox Rothschild. The company hopes to obtain 50,000 tests this month after delays in shipments from China, Fox Rothschild told Business Insider in a statement. The first round of tests will go to providers in New York and New Jersey,
The rest of the companies are no better than this one. They're all owned and ran by the same cabal that has given us the planedemic to begin with.

It is definitely a scam and I can't believe those that think by taking their tests that everything will be alright. It won't be alright and they're just dragging this out for those that don't understand that they've been had.
They'll also be quarantining those of us that are in the way of their grand scheme.
I don't trust them and that means I don't trust their tests either.
