Without determining who has it & who doesn't this could go indefinitely. Or till we get a real president.

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

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

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

If China can beat this we can...if we had a leader. rickyhall Mar 2020 #19
This started early on in Washington gibraltar72 Mar 2020 #25
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
