(23,091 posts)drumpf refused to allow CDC to use the test being used around the world and in stock. He demanded a new vendor - one in which he owned stock - and it took them 8 weeks (of course they are incompetent) and the test was flawed. So we are now 9 weeks behind the curve and it's for pure profit motives. Now, does drumpf also want to use this for political purposes - yes. He thinks he can keep illness #'s down by not allowing testing, but it's just building the #;s more as infected people are undiagnosed and walking around. He thinks he can use this to fuck up SS and cut taxes for the rich and if there is a pandemic, he will call a National Emergency and stop the elections - for health reasons. He hates us and is ok with us dying as long as PUtin guarantees him staying in office.
