COVER-UP - BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus.

On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed.

The lack of testing is a scandal.

This is the coverup.

This proves it........

It's like it's an athletic contest and the Republicans turned off the scoreboard. The fans ASSUME the scorekeepers are recording the reality/true score, but they aren't........

If you don't test people, you can't say they have it. If you don't test people, you can't say it was the Corona that led to their death.
If there are no statistics, by way of no testing, Republicans can proclaim a victory in fighting the virus here in the U.S.

Focus on the testing: South Korea is testing a thousand plus people a day, and yet we have basically no tests and it's been nearly two months??????? What the F is that all about?????????? Have Ivanka and Jared been given this time to start a manufacturing facility/corporation that they own with their daddy?????????

And now declaring that even if we ever have testing, the Feds won't release the results to the U.S. citizens. Hell, Communist China, of all nations is doing something more democratic that the U.S.???????

WASF

The Republican's dealing with the AID's Virus was horrifically despicable, but it was just a warm up to what they can/will do with Corona.....

So, we are not going to get any info from our state.

My neighbor just decided to become an independent thanks to Trump letting the virus run wild in the US. His wife is very sick and would probably die if she catches the virus. He said he wants to punch Trump in the face. I'm trying to get him to vote Democratic.

I think this state may see a change in majority party.

The federal government is useless at this point. No direction, planning, or leadership. Blue State governors need to show they are the real leaders.

When the son of the pos says that it is a democratic hoax you know his administration is useless and not to be trusted.

By doing this, they force us to call into question everything from what was usually a very reliable government entity, the CDC.

If we can't trust them on a global health emergency, how can we trust them on anything else?

Every single day there's something new, something else to complain about, something else to fear.

I'm out of outrage, out of fucks to give.

My greatest concern is that if a Democrat is elected, he (probably a he) will spend his first term undoing the very considerable damage done by Putin and his assets.

They were all for red don while he was slashing their taxes and regressing public protections (regulations).

But, they assumed the nation would otherwise carry on per usual so having an incompetent boob in charge wouldn't matter.

Now, there's COVID-19 which requires an effective, well-run Federal response that red don can't provide. The backers of the GOPee sold the country out and put everyone in a dangerous position for judges and tax cuts.

I am VERY hesitant about starting it since it will destroy my immune system making catching the virus pretty much a death sentence. So now I have to weigh putting off the chemo until a vaccine is available or rolling the dice and take my chances of becoming infected.....I fucking HATE the menace in the white house!!
