Yeah, no.
We are 95th in the world in having as many tests we need given number of cases.
China did 11 million tests in a weekend.
And if tests take 8 days to come back, we basically have 0 tests. 2/
Or....Trump wants to depress the vote particularly among Black people.
If he was really worried about people voting he would have a bipartisan commission working on it. 3/
Nope. Founding fathers would have said so. (See they had perfect foresight.)
You know what a civil liberty is? Health.
Health allows people more freedom than anything else. 4/
Who says? I’ve talked to people in Australia & Italy this week. They go to the beach but have to schedule it. That would cause an armed revolt here. 5/
He has asked nothing because he is willing to do nothing. 6/
There are a lot of people who retort if I or someone tweets bars & restaurants should be closed down: “What about protests?”
I think there may be bots &Russian trolls & FL Senators that type “what about protests?” all day long.7/
If you want to have church outdoors, socially distanced, with no choir, pray away Marco. Marching with masks at a distance. Same.
Spraying mace at protesters, putting them in jails, kettling them. All bad.
Holding an upside down bible at your shoulder, same. 8/
It did trace a lot of cases to 15 bars.

First of all, that is Greek for: “I’m not Black.”

So in the meantime, don’t blame people who ignore you. Or who don’t want you to be a Senator in Arkansas any more. 18/
See also: “We have a mental health crisis worse than COVID.”
And: “People are dying from no access to care.” 19/
Just show a paper or even a single tweet you’ve written supporting any of these things from 2006 to 2019. 21/
I think that’s nice. I do. But I really don’t think people need to use them.
ICU beds aren’t hard to create. They’re hard to staff. And that’s one of the things that makes it an IVU bed. 22/
So “enough” ventilators is no reason to open the bars. You’ll just keep the problem going. 23/
