Isn’t that what the President has been encouraging states to do?

come on what a stupid statement :)

it would be kinda hard to hide the folks heading to the hospital from it :)

first you rednecks were mad when we had too many and wanted to “build a wall” around us.

now your psychos are posting sh.t about us cutting down on testing

get a life, get a more exciting state or a hobby and move on from NY :)

That was a joke by Trump.
Of course the media will do with it what they can....
What will help Dem Governors.

How silly are you being?

The South and West will suffer nothing like NY area did.
Though we will certainly suffer.

>>>No

Are you saying that at his Tulsa rally on Sunday, the President did not say that he instructed his people to “slow the testing down please”?

Nope. Most like just a lag time getting all the results.

Trump appeared to stand by his Tulsa rally comment on Monday, saying the U.S. has done “too good a job” at testing, and on Tuesday he insisted, “I don’t kid.”

Through out all history, NO QUARANTINE has ever worked.

EVER.

The great plague, one of the easiest of all illnesses to have quarantine work, it did not. They even closed off entire villages and towns and it did not work.

The Spanish flu. Small Pox-the only way they defeated that was by vaccine.

Wait! I know one way to defeat a virus like this...nuke the entire world.

The whole thing is political.

The president obviously didn’t hear the question clearly, because after saying “I don’t kid” he gave a further lengthy answer, NONE of which indicated in any way that he had encouraged a reduction in testing. Quite the opposite. He bragged about the high amount of testing.

In his town hall with Hannity last night, Trump mentioned joking on this subject.

Nah, making too much of it.

There is a point at which testing is considered overdone by scientists.
It’s somewhere in the high single digits of “positivity”.

Many areas have reached that.
]The interesting areas haven’t.

Why do you conflate the reality of NYC corona with the probable bullshite of the leaders’ actions, my FRiend?

I believe we are witnessing one of the most intellectually regressed societies of all time. I do not see us climbing out of this.

He was being sarcastic. No one has been told by the President to slow down testing. Fauci said that in his testimony before Congress.

good. stop the testing everywhere. it’s being used as a political weapon, not only against the US/Trump (primarily), but against others the Deep State hates.

Can we all just face facts?

Some of us will get it. Some 98 percent plus will survive it.

People wearing masks will get it.

People not wearing masks will get it.

It’s, as we used to say, “Going around.”

No one doubts there is a disease.

There are people among us who will use any crisis like this to sell their product, be it a “foolproof mask” on late-night TV or a Presidential candidate in his basement.

1.5 million people died from tuberculosis last year.

COVID-19 just has a better press agent.

Actually they should just be counting deaths from Covid....and possibly tose hospitalized otherwise test results counting is fruitless as people are being tested more than once....including those wo’ve had a positive result as after 14 days they’re tested again. I know one gal who was tested 5 times!
