Trump is obviously keeping the test kits from being available in large numbers

[redstateblues]

He's managing the optics while the virus spreads. Why isn't anyone call him out on this?

1. Could he do this without someone knowing?

[whathehell]

7. I don't think so..

and, believe me, though I'm not one to put much past The Dump, even I think this may be taking it a step too far. I could be wrong, of course.

9. I guess it could be rank incompetence

[whathehell]

10. That was my first reaction. n/t

2. He''s trying to figure out how to make a profit off of them.

[Ilsa]

3. I believe it and have figured this was going on.

And now the senate is going to leave the ball on the court and go home. Cowards.

6. They have cancelled their planned recess

4. One thing I noriced. The death toll numbers we're seeing now at least match the total cases.

If you use the 3% mortality I've seen lately it makes sense. Earlier numbers had the deaths way too high for what they were saying the number of infected people were.

5. He did it when he refused the test from WHO

Any other country who takes more than a day to get the test ready would be taken to task. I have no idea why Americans (at least republicans) aren't angry about it.

[whathehell]

8. This American

is fucking furious about it..Repukes may be angry about it, but they seem, as always, unwilling to take their eye off the 'prize' of re-election.
