WHITE HOUSE PROMISED 27 MILLION CORONAVIRUS TESTS BY END OF MARCH

[floridafan]

The White House promised an ever-increasing number of coronavirus tests would be available by the end of the month, saying the number of available test kits could be as high as 27 million. But tracking analysts say only about 1 million total tests have been administered nationwide.

During a March 10 coronavirus press briefing, Vice President Mike Pence declared there would be "more than 4 million more tests" available across the country by the end of that week. At the time, lawmakers from both parties disputed these numbers and said that fewer than 10,000 Americans had been tested.

President Donald Trump increased this number just days later during remarks on March 13, when he promised 1.4 million additional tests would be distributed by March 16, which added up to more than 5 million available tests by the end of March. Another White House official would go on to proclaim on March 21 that 27 million test kits would be available to patients before the end of the month.

But several organizations that are meticulously monitoring coronavirus statistics, including the COVID Tracking Project, are demanding answers for the seemingly massive discrepancy. The Tracking Project has recorded that 964,865 total tests were conducted through Tuesday.

Well, tRUMP takes a property worth a million dollars and inflates the value to 27 million when calculating his net worth. Maybe, he was thinking that he would devalue testing like he devaluates his business losses? After all, we know that he has serious mental issues.

Trump says whatever he thinks will make him look good regardless of the facts. Trump loss for his benefit. The science demands extensive testing of whole groups of people, not just those with symptoms. That is how we collect data about what groups of people were most resistant and who was the least. They need data by race, sex, financial status,and age. Then they can compare and contrast the data to see if there is a possible group that has unusual resistance. They can zero in on them for immunities and potential cures.

Now the excuse for the rapidly-emptying shelves containing the national stockpile of medical equipment is "It was like that when I got here."

Exactly, data helps in making a vaccine. Dumpy’s administration is really doing the country a disservice. Cuomo just gave another great briefing. China, a private donor and Oregon’s Governor are sending ventilators to New York. Cuomo negotiated the ventilators with the help of the Chinese Ambassador, how embarrassing for this administration.

How is it embarrassing? Why is it the President's fault New York was unprepared? Has Cuomo even tapped into the hoarded ventilators he got busted lying about?

It is the Federal governments job to defend the country. It’s in the Constitution. The federal government has always assisted states in times of natural disasters. Trump has failed bigly every time to defend the country in this area. Ask Puerto Rico.
