In his deranged warped mind he also sees an admission of being tested as a sign of weakness.

This is why the left has been criticized Trump, while saying let the scientists make the decision, the scientists failed us. Not only that, they could use the WHO test kits for a while but they refused too.

Norway, Netherlands don't look very good either

Germany is getting much worse.

hate to say this: Testing alone is not going to work. Travel ban + social distancing + if you can manage your symptoms at home, stay your ass home + call before you go to the hospital demand a test. Let your doctors decide if you need a test or not.

Watching NY Gov Cuomo bash the Fed Gov for not being able to provide adequate COVID-19 testing. And these same lefty idiots want to put the Fed Gov in control of 325 million Americans' access to health care. You can't fix stupid. /smh

That's so funny, my mom always said that! I'd get dressed and she would ask if I'd put clean socks on and if I said no she'd say "what if you get in accident and have to go the hospital"?

Medicare use private doctors, the government is not providing care, they are providing payments.

I absolutely do not trust this administration.
Never trust the Fed. History is full of examples.

It's becoming very obvious that the US is not #1 anymore. We got lazy, fat and too happy.
Our mfg capability is non existent, our government is a mess of rubber stamping bureaucrats and our MSM has their own agenda to get and keep viewers rather than report and question why we are so behind.

Look at this new cases report

On the right hand, it shows total cases / per million population

If you are a traveler in Europe, better watch out, the chance you get the virus is sky high.
