THERE IS NO TEST; the life you save may be your loved one's or your own

Trump tells lies and he tells them all the time.  We know this to be true as sources, reputable ones, keep track of them.  The number of lies he has told since this mendacious man has occupied the sacred spaces of the oval office is probably nearing 10,000 or more.  Trump lied again saying that everyone who wants a test for the Corona virus can get a test.  That is a bold face lie as admitted to by numerous infectious disease experts inside and outside the administration.  If one comes down with Corona symptoms, calls their doctor and says that he/she needs a test the doctor in all probability will not be able to give them one or not even point the way in the direction for them to get tested.  The risk to our hospital system to appropriately deal with virus sufferers and normal illnesses it treats is huge.

THE FAILURE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO ANYTHING IS APOCALYPTIC.  There have been no millions of tests distributed.  The question becomes why is the Republican Party so afraid to call out Trump for the lies he has promulgated which are going to mean sickness and death for ultimately millions if it keeps on going the way of Trump rosy picture painting and just plain lying?  There is zero trust in this administration for anything except surety that this malignant liar will fudge numbers and promote untrue analysis in a way that can best suit his re-election campaign and/or the stock market.  This virus is not going to peter out magically, it is not going to evaporate, it is not going to seasonally die out but it is going to infect those of us who are vulnerable to its poison irrespective of whether one is a Democrat, a Republican, an Independent or a Boy Scout.  It matters not to a biological entity who it infects as long as it does to keep itself alive. It is Darwinian survival at its finest.  Humans do not have the immune system response to this virus because no human body has encountered it before in order to develop an immune response to it.

The irony is without a test and a plan based on testing which the administration it seems deliberately has impeded so Trump will not see the higher numbers that infect the electorate making him worry first and foremost about his campaign and stock numbers, he is reinforcing that more numbers ultimately in the millions will come out to vote against him (I pray.)  Meanwhile, every day wasted without a uniform test and plan to respond to the virus throughout the nation will mean millions more ultimately will be infected and many will die who should not.

Send this to anyone you choose because we are in an emergency.  Lives are at stake and more into the millions perhaps could be infected and die especially those at risk but not limited to those at risk.  Then in November, if Trump has not been given the hook by his supporters turning against him (I can hope) VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE TICKET.  The life you save may be your loved one's life or, in fact, your own!

NOT ANYMORE
