Money quotes: “ Today, Germany is testing between 360,000 to 500,000 citizens for viral infection weekly — tracking the spread of the coronavirus early. This enables self-quarantine for those who test positive and allows healthy individuals to move back to society.”

“ Unlike Germany, our federal and state governments have spent the last decade spending on other things than meeting the needs of critically ill patients and setting up comprehensive testing programs.”

They have been spending on graft and corruption in the trillions.

Maybe this will be another opportunity for Trump.

He can point to the waste and that with all that we spend, we still don’t have what we need in a crisis because of graft, etc.

The virus will have run it’s course before testing could be ramped up to that scale.

We have heard some say “but testing of the whole population will be expensive and is not perfect because of false negatives ... “.

Expensive and imperfect. OK. So is shutting down an entire country. How expensive? $2T expensive?

Its been reported that Germany is fudging their numbers

If you had a heart condition and ChinaVirus, and you passed, you died from the heart condition....

Merkel is doing this to make herself look like some sort of smart leader, that she isn’t.

Search at CDC.gov for “Climate Change”. Currently returns 4877 hits.

Search at CDC.gov for Diversity. Currently returns 16023 hits

Search at CDC.gov for Transgender. Currently returns 1642 hits

Would anyone here care to attempt to convince me any of this has anything to do with the core mission of the Centers for Disease Control? In fact, what this represents is a hijacking of the CDC for political purposes. And those who performed this hijacking need to be called to account.

More of your mass testing lunacy.

350,000,000 / 500,000wk = 700 wks or 13.5 yrs.

California 40,000,000 / 500,000 wk = 80wks or 1.5 yrs

You need to curl up in the corner and lick you balls or move to Germany.

What we are doing now is a panic response that is costing us a fortune, our future and actually accomplishing very little if anything.

Dreadfully sad.

It seems to me that you would have to routinely test people multiple times, perhaps multiple times in one week, to ensure they weren’t exposed since their last test. We’re no where near that level of testing.

Glad that PDJT will probably rebuild FDA and CDC like he did with military.

Send "Orange Man Bad" Democrats and RINOs home in November!

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping COVID-19 will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.
