COTW: Too Risky to Test

The U.S. still has no national testing strategy four months into the pandemic. State governors have repeatedly warned the Antichrist that they do not have the capacity to test on the scale needed to minimize a renewed wave of infections, and need federal assistance. Total Douche repeatedly lies that the US has the best testing in the world in order to absolve himself of responsibility for a renewed outbreak if states return to pre-pandemic operations too soon. Virologists have recommended at least 500,000 COVID-19 tests a day in the US, but testing here topped out at around 220,000 tests a day and the rate of testing has sunk to about 145,000 tests a day. The US now has 3 times the number of infections than any other nation on Earth.  USA, USA, USA!!!  In New Zealand, with a population of 5 million, twelve people have died of COVID-19.  (2.4 per million versus 39 per million for US) That country banned Chinese travelers in early February, quarantined in March, and is conducting comprehensive testing and contact tracing.

What about Total Douche's claim that the United States was caught off guard by the virus because the WHO failed to warn US earlier? NOT! The WaPo writes, "More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts, many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization as the novel corona virus emerged late last year and transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration, according to U.S. and international officials..."  More of the same deceitful blame shifting the Antichrist has engaged in from day one of his benighted regime.
