Trump Calls Increase In Coronavirus Cases 'Great News'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump called the rise in COVID-19 cases “great news” Thursday night, suggesting that the increase in cases reflected an increase in testing.

“There is a rise in Coronavirus cases because our testing is so massive and so good, far bigger and better than any other country,” Trump tweeted. “This is great news, but even better news is that death, and the death rate, is DOWN. Also, younger people, who get better much easier and faster!”

However, Adm. Brett Giroir, Trump’s appointee to oversee testing, testified at a House hearing Thursday that “this is a real increase in cases.”

“There is no question that the more testing you get, the more you will uncover,” Giroir said. “But we do believe this is a real increase in cases because of the percent positives are going up. So, this is real increases in cases.”

1. Cases are rising even without testing, dimwit Trump.

2. Look, Idiot in Chief, hospitals don't admit people just because they test positive

and have mild symptoms. Several states are very close to filling their hospital capacity for Covid-19, and that is horrifying news.

5. How does his bullshit argument help him?

More testing finding more people means virus has spread more than reported. These people are being identified as infected. They were infected whether they were or were not tested.

Under no circumstance does the more testing argument make sense.
