The reason we're not testing is because the 'president' does not want testing.

FROM MARCH 7TH, 2020

Trump is reportedly fixated on keeping the number of official US coronavirus cases as low as possible — despite indications the disease has spread wider than he wants

President Donald Trump has expressed that he wants the number of coronavirus cases in the United States kept as low as possible, Politico reported Saturday evening.

He has also been monitoring the daily counts of US cases and how they compare with other countries'.

On Friday, Trump even publicly acknowledged hoping to keep a quarantined cruise ship offshore to keep the number of US coronavirus cases low.

As of Saturday, 17 people in the US had died after contracting the virus and more than 400 people had tested positive.

But amid a nationwide testing shortage, the actual number of coronavirus cases is most likely far higher.

3. He will learn, soon enough, that one man cannot affect a pandemic.

He thinks himself to be powerful, but he is just another human being who is susceptible to this virus. He can try to hide the number of sick people, but when the trucks go around with loudspeakers blaring, "Bring out your dead!" the truth will not be hidden.

Fortunately, in some of our states, we have Governors who will think for themselves.

5. yes but

he is also incapable of overseeing or hiring some capable of doing so the logistics of such a massive undertaking. all he has ever done is drive an essentially a small business into bankrupurcy. So don't want it will make me look bad, and even if I did, incapable of doing the work involved.

6. He's always fixated on numbers. Remember when he wouldn't

let cruise ship passengers debark because he wanted to keep his numbers low. It's all a ratungs game to him, nothing more. People (and lives) don't even begin to factor into any equation Dummy comes up with.
