Chris Cuomo Reveals 'Ugly' Reason Why Donald Trump Downplays Coronavirus Testing

CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Wednesday night broke down why President Donald Trump and his allies routinely play down the importance of testing for the coronavirus, contrary to guidance from public health officials.

“It is dishonest and destructive and it is done by design,” Cuomo said.

For Trump, he continued, it was all about hiding the truth about the pandemic, which has so far killed more than 73,000 people nationwide. The United States has more confirmed cases than any other country in the world.''

“Testing is truth because numbers are truth, and they want you to believe that COVID is going away faster than it actually it is because they believe the longer it is real, the worse it is for Trump and the election,” said Cuomo, who himself recovered from the virus last month.

But, I get the impression that he actually believes that cases don't even exist without testing. It's just more of his bizarre magical thinking.
