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

"Cause of death -- ague and grippe." Girard442 Mar 2020 #11

Exactly what I'm saying, gab13by13 Mar 2020 #18

That's not correct. Lancet study shows late testing increases fatality rate! See post #13 n/t blitzen Mar 2020 #14

Yes, it does improve the numbers. JustABozoOnThisBus Mar 2020 #23

He's hoping he can gaslight the dead maybe? Canoe52 Mar 2020 #34

He told clearly us that when he wouldn't let the cruise ship dock Walleye Mar 2020 #2

K&R, SOMEONE ASK DR FAUCI IF US IS DOING PROPER PER CAPITA TESTING !!! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #6

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

The red states just lost Joe Diffie. That might break the spell. CaptYossarian Mar 2020 #47

are they doing autopsies? Grasswire2 Apr 2020 #48

My first time in a nursing home, a nurse effed up and almost killed me. CaptYossarian Apr 2020 #49

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

Testing numbers don't have a direct correlation to fatality ... Whiskeytide Mar 2020 #27

The study suggests that the impact on survivability is not merely minimal. n/t blitzen Mar 2020 #28

except it kind of doesn't. nt Baltimike Mar 2020 #32

Inadequate testing means more people are ... Whiskeytide Mar 2020 #36

I'm not explaining myself well enough. gab13by13 Mar 2020 #26

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

He's trying to make it worse not better now duforsure Mar 2020 #40

If that happens he may very well do that. gab13by13 Mar 2020 #41
