It is not known for sure if the virus came from the shrimp or from another person in the market.
no one thinks it came from shrimp. Coronavirus are limited to mammals.

And you immediately thought I was referring to Biden.

Biden doesn't know what he's doing, where he is or what he's talking about.

If you are expecting a president to tell the truth and keep every promise they make, you will be waiting a life time. People don't get elected president because they are telling you the truth. They are telling you what you want to hear. Don't blame Trump, blame the system and the game that he played so well.
I blame Obama for the shovel ready jobs and Bush with his WMD's and I blame Trump for claiming a website was being readied to steer people to newly created drive thru testing sites. Just saying all of them lie, no big deal is not ok with me.

The website should be very easy to get online. No excuse for this not happening. And if Trump cannot use his power as POTUS to move mountains to get these test locations going he does not deserve to be reelected.

You can just say presidents lie and then give them a pass. We need to expect better not give up and resign ourselves to this.

Then there is the more sinister explanation that the Trump administration does not want that many tests done because the numbers will look so bad that it will hurt his poll numbers and reelection chances.

What makes you think you will not be one of the victims? About half of the total will be dead before your birthday based on the model.

Just a reminder: liberals are still politicizing a pandemic and refusing to act like Americans do in the face of a crisis. Again.

One thing I don't see explained. Where are they delivering these testing machines? How do you get them?

I did not need you to say that. But if I am one of the dead by then, I will consider it to be the ultimate bad day. Saying that now because I can't say it later after I am dead.

When you claim that liberals are politicizing the pandemic that is also politicizing the pandemic. You can't see the irony in your own words?

"PortMiami records show the Oasis docked at the port the morning of March 24 and unloaded passengers. It left port later that day."

Lots of Cruise ships that had infected crew and others aboard still unloading in Florida - and yet DeSantis wants to make sure people don't come from New Orleans?

Easily 50,000 cruise ship passengers have disembarked here- most then flying elsewhere with no checks. Millions have come and gone but he makes it seems as if stopping cars in I-10 is going to help things???

It's as if he doesn't know math.
