So everybody understands that the reason we don’t have mass testing in the US is because Trump rejected the available World Health Org tests because he said “the numbers might hurt” his chances of re-election?
Quick, decisive and proper action is vital in a pandemic when the number of dead can double every 4-7 days without containment.

No matter how this plays out, there is no question that Trump’s selfish, ignorant, psychopathic decisions will have killed countless people.
A week ago it was a big mystery why Trump refused the World Health Org tests for COVID-19.

It’s no longer a mystery.
During the H1N1 crisis, the Obama administration tested ONE MILLION in the first month after the first case was discovered in the US.

It has been TWO months since the first coronavirus case was discovered in the US and the Trump administration has only tested 10,000 people.
Trump's decision to reject the tests made available by the World Health Organization in order to "keep the numbers low" will go down as one of the most disastrous public health decisions in US history.

Countless people will die because of it.
