1. I just knew that as soon as he spoke shit would happen

Go Afuckingway!

[Tanuki]

9. You are so right! We know that everything MF45 touches dies.

Now he jinxed West Virginia!

[malaise]

11. From JHB's 'toons

[Brainfodder]

10. So WVs as an overall group were acting like they special?

....all because not even one test kit in the whole state?

Joke writes itself.

I'm from PA, nearby WV, but long gone.

Those people have had enough?

Those people are still in WV.

2. Misinformation is their only strategy

[a la izquierda]

3. Anyone with a brain in WV has said the same.

We had no cases because we didn’t test much.
We’re fucked as a state when this spreads. And elderly, unhealthy population.

4. Manchin has allowed IQ45 to use him

as a tool for as long as he has been in office. True to IQ45's "leadership style" - he will continue to "use him" until he's of no value to him any more.
Hey Joe - Nice job standing up for what's right. Where'd that get you?

[NewJeffCT]

8. Manchin was primaried from the left in 2018

and Manchin won the primary by 40 points, and then barely held on to win the general election by 3% against a far right extremist. It will take a lot of time, hard work and money to make the Democrats competitive in WV on a regular basis

5. WV Has a High Percent of Folks With Pulomonary and Respiratory Conditions Making Those

who get a CR-19 infection more susceptible to complications. Same might apply to States with a higher % of smokers.

[ffr]

6. It's like this for the entire country. The number of cases is probably 10x what is shown

This GOP experiment is costing lives.

STOP
VOTING
FOR
REPUTICANS!

7. WV native here

I live in Maryland now. I told my family back home to please take this serious and that it was more about the lack of testing. I can only hope for the best now.

[TNNurse]

12. It took me a nanosecond to understand

they simply were not testing.

[sandensea]

13. Then there's Texas with its "64" cases.

It's probably 5 times that, at least.

But the Abbot policy is the Trump policy: "don't test; don't count."

[ananda]

15. KXAN says Texas has 126.

It's probably way more than that also.

[sandensea]

20. Abbot must've jumped out of his wheelchair when he heard that.

"Whut goddamned idiot put that number out!?! I said keep'em low!"

"Don't they know Trump's gonna be all over me like a fly on shit!!"

[DENVERPOPS]

18. Most people across America

that have an IQ above 90 have realized the following:

NO TESTING = NO CASES = NO PROBLEM..........

I am wondering, just how long the Republicans thought this would work before it caught up to us......

Much like all the people walking down the jungle path, so intent with swatting mosquitoes that they were oblivious to the massive herd of charging elephants........(sorry for the pun) ...............so true on so many levels........

[sandensea]

19. Well said.

Cheeto must have been the same as a child: "Look, ma! No fever!"

After he held the thermometer out the window to make it look he had no temperature.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Captain Obvious moment...nt

[rocktivity]

16. I won't stoop to wondering if it's because West Virginia's governor

is a Democrat

23. consider also the WV population that is isolated up in those mountains

Outside of Charleston, Huntingdon, Wheeling and a few others, there are pockets of low population, not near anything, maybe even snowed in at higher elevations.

What will happen when the little country stores run out of supplies and they are not being restocked. Hopefully there have been lots of good gardens over the past summer, with lots of canning and freezing of product.

My husband's mother went up there to visit her sister, and she was struck by the isolation, and difficulty to get anywhere. Those roads are difficult driving, until you get to a major highway.

Same for parts of Eastern Kentucky, western Virginia and upper east Tennessee.

17. Do they know how to read the results in WV?

[aggiesal]

21. This is what Pendejo45 wished for ...

Here's what the first meeting looked like

Do we have pandemic? No! Check.

Does anyone have the coronavirus? No! Check.

Have we done any tests? No! Check.

Do we have any test kits? No! Check.

Great! Now go out and tell the country that we don't have any coronavirus.
And tell them to start shopping and spending their money. Check!

Pendejo45 wanted 50 West Virginia's

22. Outstanding leadership on display today from Senator Manchin.

Outstanding interview.
