Trump says testing may be 'frankly overrated'
Source: The Hill
President Trump on Thursday suggested the practice of widespread coronavirus testing may be "overrated," even as health experts insist it is critical to safely loosen restrictions and reopen businesses.
Trump boasted about the United States's testing capabilities during remarks at a Pennsylvania medical equipment distribution center, where he announced the country has administered 10 million tests since the outbreak began. "We have the best testing in the world," Trump told employees at Owens & Minor Inc. in Allentown. "Could be that testing's, frankly, overrated. Maybe it is overrated."
"But we have the greatest testing in the world," he added. "But what we want is we want to get rid of this thing. That's what we want. We have more cases than anybody in the world, but why? Because we do more testing," Trump said. "When you test, you have a case. When you test you find something is wrong with people. If we didn't do any testing, we would have very few cases. They don't want to write that. It's common sense. We test much more."
Trump's remarks often took on the tone of a campaign rally. The president walked on stage to "God Bless the U.S.A.," the same song that blares at his arena rallies when he enters. He also left the stage to the tune of his typical rally exit song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
