Why didn’t we use the tests provided by
@WHO that the rest of the world was using at that time? Asking the CDC to come up with its own test - which was initially faulty - cost us precious time and lives. -
Trump has consistently implied and a few times explicitly said he wants “to keep the numbers low”, so the reason we don’t have widespread testing is he doesn’t want widespread testing.
