What Is Trump Offering The Repug Gov's In Red States To......

get them to re-open their State? Why else would they risk the lives of the People of their State? Why else would they risk their reputations? How does he have this power over them?

Just asking - cause if Trump comes to this realization - what do you think he will do? Who do you think he would blame?

A Company Will Be Releasing A Home Covid-19 Testing Kit-Test & Mail In For Results - Is This Safe?..

I don't know if this was addressed here on DU - but I'll ask the question.

One does the swabbing in home. Pop the swab in the mail. In a couple of days you receive the results.

My question is: Could the U.S. Mail System be contaminated by these tests going through the mail?

What about the mail handlers - can they contract the virus?

Think about it - some of the tests will be positive - meaning that whomever sent it in has the virus and could have also contaminated the mailing envelope.

Also - any one of these envelopes can get damaged in transit or through the sorting machines. What about the other mail that might come in contact with these mail-in tests? Can it become contaminated?

Has anyone addressed this question. Is this safe?

Trump Has Set A Trap For Governors.....

He's laid out a plan for re-opening which includes testing and a timeline. He's also riled up his supporters to pressure the Governors to open up their respective States. Some Govs are jumping the gun and are opening up without heeding the plan laid out. Perhaps the Red State Govs are doing this to garner praise from Trump.

We all know there is a lag time between being exposed to the virus and exhibiting symptoms and really suffering from the virus. That lag time could be any where from 7 to 14 days before those exposed begin exhibiting symptoms.

So lets say 14 days from now - in those States that relaxed stay at home orders and began re-opening we start seeing a spike in cases and ultimately deaths - what does Trump say and do?

He says - well we laid out a plan and this second rise in cases is all on the backs of the Govs that didn't follow the plan.

He adeptly shifts blame to the Govs. After all - he had a plan in place and it was the Govs that didn't do the right thing.

Gotcha!!!!!

Is Cuomo Really Going To Visit The White House Tomorrow?.....

If so - why is he giving Trump a photo-op opportunity? Does Trump just want him to go a day without being on TV telling it like it is? What am I missing? Why? Why?

If These Re-Open The Country Protesters Are Exposed To Covid-19

When (how many days from the date of the first protest) could we expect the rise in cases to ramp up?

I'm thinking this should be able to be predicted.
