They just can't won't do a headline without anti-Trump snark. The word "touted" would not have appeared in a Reuters headline for the very same thing had Obama done it.

One aspect of all of this that is going totally unremarked is we are foolishly (IMHO) throwing decades of principles and rationale for medical testing to the winds. 40 years ago “Screening normal people” for disease ushered in a new era that brought with it poorly or completely unanticipated effects that we are still dealing with after decades. AFAIK mass medical testing of large masses of humanity for the indication of “I want a test” has never been done and if past performance is a predictor I would guess we will be dealing with the fallout from this for decades.

Why does the left complain about this website so much? It’s the top questions they ask about during the news conference?

We all completely understand that much of Google actually DOES WANT us dead.

Well, I’m no epidemiologist (nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), but for assessing the spread of a novel virus into a population, widespread testing might not be a bad idea...?

And we’re talking quick test, not serology?

Atlanta's WSB started its 7am news broadcast with: “In the absence of guidance from President Trump, many states are...”(etc).

It-they ripped a line right out of a Bernie Sanders campaign speech.

As another poster notes, “Touted” was chosen deliberately as a way of casting a snide look of scorn on Trump.

EVERYTHING this man does is criticized! They will not give him credit for anything!

That’s a given.

I could make analogies to some modern day German companies...but I won’t.

1700 engineers, what do you expect. Next day service?

Takes time how to data mine all of the people's information without their consent.

The only tests I have heard of is samples have to be sent in. Perhaps someone is trying to develop a rapid test, standard to reason. How quickly can such a test be standardized, manufactured, and distributed? I’m guessing three weeks is impossible. We will know what the death rate is in three weeks.

I was going to point out that your opinion is worthless b Ed cause you begin by telling us that you have no bonifides to support your expertise.

Then I saw it was you.

Dude, learn the difference between a question and an opinion, then get back to me. 😄
