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

Fuckass shithead.

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



Though public health experts have consistently said the US needs to ramp up testing for coronavirus in order to contain and defeat it, President Donald Trump does not see it that way.

On Wednesday, Trump said that too much testing makes the US "look bad."

"So 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 during a meeting with Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

Trump blames Birx and Fauci: "They said it's going to blow over"

I can see the looks on their faces as Trump threw them right under the bus on national television, ABC.

"What I did, was I said, against many people, including Anthony Fauci who I like very much, including Deborah who I like very much, the doctors, and many other people, they said 'Don't ban China, it's going to blow over" and they said this at the end of February.

He goes on, "At the same time, I want to be optimistic, I don't want to be Mr. Gloom and Doom."

"How Wind Turbines Make You Sick"... about toxic misinformation

Disclaimer: I am trained in energy technologies and conservation and efficiency strategies and support wind, solar, and energy storage but more than anything support just using less, consuming less of everything.

I started watching this expecting to hear conspiracy theories but was pleased to see how the creator explains what is termed the "nocebo" effect, that people are susceptible to misinformation campaigns, regardless of how sincere the creators may be.

Filed in the same category as 5G, Smart Meters, How Hummers are more benign than a Prius, and other evil technologies.
