Whelp. Looks like we need to begin rounding up and quarantining and possibly euthanizing kids. They are the number one spreader of the virus. Got this from a reliable source, it's still closed door intel as of now.

Stupid parents lock up your kids. Be parents.
We know you're sick of being trapped with them so you've been letting them go out under the "fresh air" premise, but it's really because you're selfish and can't be bothered with them.

"Good Guys" don't prevent 911 first responders from getting the assistance and care they deserve.

Um, did you not read his statement? He calls for more testing immediately, essentially without conditions, for everyone. That is not happening.



“I believe we need more testing immediately, even among those without symptoms. The nature of COVID-19 put me – and us all – in a Catch-22 situation. I didn’t fit the criteria for testing or quarantine. I had no symptoms and no specific encounter with a COVID-19 positive person. I had, however, traveled extensively in the U.S. and was required to continue doing so to vote in the Senate. That, together with the fact that I have a compromised lung, led me to seek testing. Despite my positive test result, I remain asymptomatic for COVID-19.

“Perhaps it is too much to ask that we simply have compassion for our fellow Americans who are sick or fearful of becoming so. Thousands of people want testing. Many, like David Newman of The Walking Dead, are sick with flu symptoms and are being denied testing. This makes no sense.

Man. If only the Administration knew about this in January, they could have taken steps to make sure there was plenty of testing to go around and largely avoid decimating our own economy like the South Koreans did. Knowing about this in January would have given us that opportunity. If only...

But on the plus side, asymptomatic Rand Paul gets testing while the rest of us are told that the dearth of tests precludes the testing of many symptomatic people. Good on Rand Paul - I'm sure he deserves every once of the extra special treatment he gets.

Man. If only the prior Administration had had a team of experts and scientists specifically tasked with dealing with pandemics. Too bad that never happened. If only...

In that case, no one in charge of making major decisions for the rest of us is "good" anymore - if they ever were. But as I've said before, no one has to be "good" either, just so they can get what they want out of it in the end.

Oh that would have been a good idea too. Presumably this fiasco is really on Obama for failing to create a pandemic team to help plan for things like this.

Sadly, if right wing media headlined this post here today (3/23)... about 40% of the people in the country would believe it is the gospel truth.
