    The idea that disease is socially constructed is an interesting one but I'm not sure it should be guiding policy.https://twitter.com/rebeccaballhaus/status/1272603635004985345 …

        I’d feel a lot more comfortable with the President’s creative brainstorming if I knew whether he was packing indica or sativa. But he seems to be relatively sober.

        Yall too nice to this dude. He is telling you that he doesn't care that people are dying. Don't test and theyre just dead. "People die every day" that's what the GOP has been saying since the beginning of this.

        Devil's advocate, maybe I'm foolish to even try, but increased number of positive tests may actually reflect the rapid expansion in test availability rather than a change in the real number of cases. I think that's his argument.

        Did microbes exist before they were discovered? Maybe we can get the President tweeting about Latour and Pasteur.
