Too much testing makes the US look bad...

[OldLady]

That is the reason republicans oppose testing. They’d rather have people die than make the blob look bad

Lol. Extrapolating the numbers, there are probably about 20 million infected with, 60-80 percent asymptomatic. This drives the mortality rate even lower so be careful what you're begging for.

I kind of like the mortality rate dropping. Some place being much more hot spot problem than others, I favor state and local governments using their best judgment as they work toward opening back up. Makes sense.

Fair nuff, but why cock-block the 17 page CDC report that would have given idiot governors like Abbott, Kemp, Reynolds and DeSantis some detailed guidance as to best practices? Because I don't think these Trumptards are particularly versed in "best judgement" with regard to science and medicine.

Here are the CDC guidelines the White House doesn't want you to see

The US's top disease experts provided detailed recommendations on reopening schools, restaurants, mass transit systems, churches, and more.

Hopefully all the governors can get their hands on this document, if they want it.

The entire report is linked within my link. But the governors mentioned don't want it. They aren't real big fans of facts or science. They'll do whatever Donald TELLS them to do.

Don't get me wrong, I wear a "dislike" as a badge of honor, it means I've gotten under someone's skin... but the one you gave me confuses me... you like Trump?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Trump: image over facts and the truth.

No, it's facts over image. Our testing makes our facts more accurate than the worlds at the expense of our image. And since Trump is, according to the left, personally responsible not only for the virus but for each and every person who gets the virus, he's provided the facts that the press is using to attack his image.

Trump has always been facts over image. Like any politician, he monitors his image and is concerned about it because if it gets too bad he can't get reelected and do more of the great work he's done for the nation. But, unlike any Democrat in the history of Democrats, as far as I know, he continues to tell the truth even though he has to explain that the press is twisting his words of truth.

Conservatives: lies over facts and the truth.

How does testing effect a cure and save anyone's life? All it does is provide a statistic until there is a cure.

It is not just to test to save a life but it also gives peace-o-mind to the populace to know that their government is actually trying to placate them.

Trump says doing too much coronavirus testing makes the US 'look bad' as he pushes for the country to reopen

Trump, on more than one occasion, has signaled he cares more about optics than fully grasping the scale of the coronavirus outbreak in the US.

Trump says doing too much coronavirus testing makes the US 'look bad' as he pushes for the country to reopen

"The media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases. So, in a way, by doing all of this testing, we make ourselves look bad," Trump said on Wednesday.

Such a splendid rendition of the immortal work of an idiot. Special appearance tonight by President Trump heralds a divine inspiration of the idiocy he portray with absolute character enhancement. This should win him an Oscar but not a Nobel prize. Maybe with more intense work on his idiot character Mr. Trump can increase the depth of his idiot character...If he kills off enough humans maybe, just maybe he can attain the Nobel prize he has desperately sought, because we all know he will never stop being the idiot...

A deliberate mischaracterization of what he said, douchebag. The more you test, the more cases you record. That makes your numbers worse.

What he said is absolutely correct. He wasn't saying that we should reduce testing to avoid bad press. He's saying that comparisons with other countries aren't necessarily valid.

You're a classic TDS douchebag.

It wasn't. It's exacty what tRump said.

Wrong as always. You deliberatedly mischaracterize what he said. That's how we know you're a TDS moron douchebag.

[basquebromance]

God knows how many family members whose lives have been upended, their dreams destroyed ... going to bed at night staring at the ceiling wondering, 'My God, how am I going to get through this?'

And here's the tragedy, it didn't have to be this way

Trump ignored all the warnings, he refused to prepare and failed to protect our nation. Not just recently but throughout his presidency.

Covid is the match that lit the fire. But Donald Trump has spent the last three years stoking and kindling and undermining the core pillars of our economic strength

I swear President Donald Trump goes out of his way to TROLL the far left Progressives. After four years, one would think they'd catch on but they seem to try to outrace each other to the bait.

I believe President Donald Trump would turn down a Nobel Prize. After all, they mean so little. One was awarded to failed former President Barack Hussein Obama after only two weeks in office. That was before the committee saw all the wars and bombings Obama would rain down on the world.

"The media likes to say we have the most cases, but we do, by far, the most testing. If we did very little testing, we wouldn't have the most cases.

Yet another Rumpism, or as we used to call it, a "lie".

At the moment we have tested exactly 2.624% of our population. By contrast Iceland has tested 15.5%. The Faeroe Islands have tested over 17%. Those countries were hit early and responded with testing and as a result arrested the spread. Same is true of San Marino (8.71%).

View attachment 333936​

Iceland has a total of TEN (10) deaths, the last one occurring three weeks ago. In the past month it has reduced its number of active cases from over a thousand to currently a total of 26. The Faeroe Islands haven't even recorded a new case in over two weeks, and zero deaths.

.Among larger countries that have tested more than we have are Canada (2.74%), Australia (3.1+%), Austria (3.46%), Norway (3.61%), Italy (4.04%), Portugal (5.07%), Israel (5.21%) and Denmark (5.33%). On the whole list the US ranks 41st in testing per population.

Iceland? Iceland? You're comparing that to what? The crowd at a NASCAR race?

Iceland, 344,000

The United States, 330,700,557

Comparing countries with populations less than thousands of our COUNTIES just make you guys look silly, childish.

 

[Markle]

It is not just to test to save a life but it also gives peace-o-mind to the populace to know that their government is actually trying to placate them.

How does it "placate" anyone?

You can get be tested negative for having the COVID-19 virus this afternoon. On the way out of the clinic, you bump into me who is asymptomatic but have the virus. Now you have the virus but you'll "feel" good because you just got an all clear test.

How did this help you or me?

Your example is the same as a woman taking a pregnancy test that tests negative, and then she goes out and has unprotected sex again.
