    If the standard for testing is whether the course of treatment would be changed (as reflected by your link) then we are testing absurdly few people. Basically, that means a test to confirm a pneumonia or fever isn’t bacterial. And if bacteria is ruled out. Then we know the infection is likely viral. But may not know which virus. So members don’t get counted because the highly probable cause— COVID 19– isn’t confirmed. Ugh. Our nation’s policy is to be ignorant. Which makes lying easier.

    everytime you use gross generalizations like "libs" and "lefties", you discredit your message. Sad.

    Then I guess the news reports about hot spots and spikes with hospitals becoming overwhelmed in New York, Louisiana, and Florida are just more fake news. (Why doesn't Trump say so?) Pardon me for falling for it!

    Yeah, yesterday there were reports of Atlanta hospitals as well.

    It’s still very early, but it’s obvious where it’s heading, probably this week in some places, maybe 2-4 weeks away in some others.

    You will have your left wing talking point that we have the most confirmed cases despite having one of the lowest death rates of the western countries. That seems to be the tactic of the left when their predictions turn out to be doom hysteria nonsense as rational experts without an agenda said they would. I love seeing the left pivot to this now that the fraud of the WHO and CDC etc. is starting to be exposed big time as each day passes. You are probably going to get your wish with us testing the runny noses now nationwide while others don't. I think NY has had a few days now with less added daily inpatients so their DD peak should be here soon.

    Ok I will find some of the nonsense him and the rest of these frauds were pushing while the rational experts said at the same time it was literally propaganda it was so misleading.

    That is so rich. Put Trump and Fauci up there on the podium at the next briefing, and which one is the fraud? Fauci!

    Trump campaign demands halt to Coronavirus ad

    The ad itself is in the article if you want to watch it for yourself.

    If a dying cat bounces into a wall of spikes, then has a coronavirus induced heart attack is Trump to blame? The Deep State for building the wall of spikes?

    We already see who the fraud is and don't have to wait for the final numbers even.

    Below is the fraud that CDC and Fauci's agency pushes. Any non-agenda expert will tell you this stuff can't even be cut in half once it is in with a foothold no matter how draconian the restrictions are of not working and staying in the house mostly but the ongoing evidence in the US and other places is pointing to them being no more effective whatsoever than just doing some more common sense type things. But the left can rest well that Fauci and his friends at the CDC and WHO prevented the next black plague with their great intellect compared to the rest of us mortal men.

    Trump will be 100% vindicated for pushing to stop this madness of these work lockdowns once this filters through and by May is shown to be the 100% fraud it is. All that happens if this stuff sticks is it becomes a new virus to add to the many others in the flu season.

    Have you ever backed up any of your CT posts with factual data?

    I don't recall any off the top of my head.

    But how about proving me wrong this one time. Post some data backing up Trump's positions (any of them) wrt Corona Virus.

    I may have missed it in your endless barrage of conspiracy theory nonsense, but was your "worse case scenario" prediction? What did you think the # would be if we let this thing run its course with no action taken?

    Because a couple isolated spots does not translate to "around the country". Truth is we simply don't know. Cuomo actually had some good news about NY yesterday too btw.
