Trump does not want to test [View all] gab13by13 Mar 2020 OP

not testing does not improve the numbers of who dies beachbumbob Mar 2020 #1

Correct. Hard to do a cover-up on the death rate. Walleye Mar 2020 #3

Does it affect whether those deaths are counted as COVID-19 deaths? JHB Mar 2020 #7

When it's detected by way of an autopsy, how will he explain CaptYossarian Mar 2020 #9

He doesn't ever explain anything, JenniferJuniper Mar 2020 #10

The numbers alone will tell the story. Girard442 Mar 2020 #12

The numbers won't tell the story, gab13by13 Mar 2020 #21

Not officially, but will anyone believe... Girard442 Mar 2020 #24

Yes, Trump's minions will believe JenniferJuniper Mar 2020 #29

This doesn't make sense. Eyeball_Kid Mar 2020 #33

Late testing increases fatality rate. The media need to learn this and to inform the country! blitzen Mar 2020 #13

Yes, late testing increases fatality rate. Zero testing increases it even further. JustABozoOnThisBus Mar 2020 #20

It's not just that there're inadequate test kits, they're not expedited to obtain results. Texin Mar 2020 #30

His co, the only one contracted to provide tests nation wide isn't capable of volume. lark Mar 2020 #31

That's what I was trying to say, thanks. gab13by13 Mar 2020 #35

THIS. calimary Mar 2020 #38

If Trump accuses China of doing this, then Trump is definitely doing this. IronLionZion Mar 2020 #39
