Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump does not want to test [View all]
It's right before our eyes people. On a conference call with governors Trump said he doesn't see a problem with testing, right after Montana's governor told him that Montana could only test 1 more day unless it got more supplies.
Trump does not want to test because testing will balloon the numbers of infected and the numbers of dead. Trump wants infected people to either get better on their own or die, either way the numbers of coronavirus infections is not reported accurately.
Yeah I know that China is accused of under-reporting its numbers, and I have no doubt that China did this, however, China tested and China knew the real numbers that's why China has all but defeated the virus.

Late testing increases fatality rate. The media need to learn this and to inform the country!

Yes, late testing increases fatality rate. Zero testing increases it even further.

It's not just that there're inadequate test kits, they're not expedited to obtain results.

If Trump accuses China of doing this, then Trump is definitely doing this.
