The message from the Trump administration, after a Seattle teen was found to have coronavirus: "Stop testing." https://t.co/iuEdOTQ25u pic.twitter.com/6oMDiHE6NT— Charles Я. Davis (@charliearchy) March 11, 2020
And here:
When the candidate and his closest advisers don’t have long political experience and they’re paired with people who do, there will be a lot of mixed messaging https://t.co/PO8lKictmc— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 11, 2020
Are two ways of saying Trump is a toddler with a shotgun, who is deciding to pull the trigger, or not, based on random impulses. But "mixed messaging" and "trying all the toppings" sounds more like an at least semi-rational process is being employed.
Narrator: It isn't.
This is incredibly, recklessly dumb. A political abuse of classification that actually hampers effective response. https://t.co/1Hx7N6KuEM— Julian Sanchez (@normative) March 11, 2020
Nor do they want you to hear about it.
Yeah, that would match our experience of testing. I am convinced they intentionally messed up because it's the Trump regime who are running things at the CDC now. Which makes the decision to keep us under quarantine though the tests were "inconclusive" make more sense. It's having a definite impact on my income now, I can hold out for a while but not without serious impacts. Luckily, my sister had accumulated about a hundred sick-days over the last several years. I hope to hell my nieces and nephews don't get it, it will wipe them out.
