Trump is now trying to convince America that he couldn't focus on coronavirus because of impeachment.

From January to March of this year, Trump took *6* different weekend golf vacations.
In addition to all his vacation outings, Trump held campaign rallies on Jan 9, Jan 14, Jan 28, Jan 30, Feb 10, Feb 19, Feb 20, Feb 21 &and Feb 28.

During these rallies he was calling Coronavirus a “hoax.”
The impeachment trial ended on February 6th, when Trump was acquitted.

Did he get to work on coronavirus on February 7th? No.

On February 26th, he said, “The 15 (people) within a couple of days is going to be down close to 0.”

On February 28th he called it a “hoax.”

Good morning,

There will be no vaccine for 12-18 months.

Social distancing is only a short term solution.

The only way will be able to leave our homes is if the government starts TESTING EVERYONE

The sooner we accept this (and demand it), the sooner we can get back to living.
It goes like this:

If we flatten the curve and then simply “get back to normal,” the virus will return with a vengeance and people will die on a massive scale.

Instead, if we test EVERYONE regularly, treat the sick and quarantine the exposed, we can begin to live again.
This is an ENORMOUS undertaking (10-20 million tests per day) requiring a level of production mobilization equal to world war 2, except instead of planes and bombs, we must produce reagents, equipment and lab space.

It is also the ONLY way we can leave our homes safely.

It's time to start thinking about what comes next and the very obvious solution is that we simply cannot reopen society in any meaningful way until we have a MASSIVE nationwide testing regimen.

That is the ONLY way that we are going to be able to go back to living our lives.
If we don't test, the virus will spread quickly and we will be back to social distancing (or death).

THE ENTIRE US POPULATION must be tested at regular intervals (ever few weeks). Those infected must be treated. Those who've come in contact with the disease must be quarantined.
This is a MASSIVE effort, requiring a war-time attitude, something like the production boom of world war 2, but instead of bombs and planes, we must manufacture equipment, reagents and establish massive new labs.

We're talking about 10-20 million tests PER DAY. It's huge.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin -- a city with a population of 600,000 people -- has only *5* polling locations.

It once had 180.

The Republican Party CLOSED *175* polling locations, refused to move the election to a safer date and is now forcing voters to choose democracy and death.
The people voting in Wisconsin today are brave, but you shouldn't have to be brave to exercise your basic rights.

That isn't democracy. This is a political party trying to steal power from the people by any means necessary.

The Republican Party does not believe in democracy.
THIS is the line to vote in Wisconsin in the MIDDLE of a PANDEMIC in a state which is currently under a STAY AT HOME order.

The Republican Party CHOSE this. They forced the election to occur today and closed 90% of polling locations ON PURPOSE.
