I don't see this as him caving, or a full retreat, at all and I don't think he views it that way, either. He's "authorizing" states and he'll put that authorization in his spin.

My comment was directed at the CNN report you posted. He certainly did not retreat.

Trump Can Lie About His Coronavirus Record, But People Remember His Early Inaction On The Threat

hanimmal said:

But without legitimate testing, isn't that number just a 'cap' on number of tests/Covid+ ? So we don't really have any idea on if we are at an inflection point of the people becoming infected with covid-19 in the overall population or if we are just getting a steady flow of test kits in a couple states. And are finding those areas have about that much resources to put to cover patients.

Again I am not in the health community, so I could be wrong, but just am not sure we have the right data and are flying blind. Hopefully there are people out there working to figure it all out.

The limit on testing is intentional.

If we were able to test widespread as we should, the numbers would be at least 10 times what they are now. That would make Trump look 10 times more stupid than he presently does.

Make no mistake: Trump does not want widespread testing. Ever. He'll do anything to prevent it.

He wants himself and his family to have patent rights to a test, as well as a vaccine.
Edit: Oh, and with his signature on them.

Robert Reich: Trump's Failed Coronavirus Response

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich provides a day-by-day account of Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus crisis, and explains how the administration’s incompetence and narcissism has cost countless lives.

"We pretty much shut it down."

"Coronavirus is very much under control."

"It's going to be down to close to zero."

Trump's priority has never been public health. It's been to downplay the virus in order to boost his shot at reelection.

This is not leadership. This is the exact opposite of leadership.

Some more photos from today. I like how some still wear masks lol.

Anyone from Michigan that can confirm this mental shit is going on?

Isn't this some kind of terrorist act? Like you're knowingly spreading a virus and even if you don't get sick you are endangering so many. The last picture shows them blocking emergency vehicles from traveling down the road to possibly save someone from the virus.

This might be the weed talking, but I am getting tripped up by 'flattening of the curve' being a strategy, when it is just talking about when the inflection point on that graphs is no longer increasing at an increasing rate right?

No, it's currently the primary national strategy and it's not enough.

Only the freshest roadkill.

So, Donald was too lazy and incompetent to hire proper people to staff the administration and now he wants to suspend congress. It might be time for the inherent powers of the house. Who is gonna vote for the money to keep you alive if congress is suspended?

What Prompted Trump's Threats To Adjourn Congress? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

The president threatened Wednesday to adjourn Congress so he can unilaterally install nominees to federal positions that he said are pertinent to the coronavirus crisis. The Morning Joe panel discusses what would be an unprecedented move. Aired on 4/16/2020.

So Donald is hoarding medical supplies for those red states that comply with his reopening efforts, it won't help them much if they follow his advice. Perhaps this will be the bitch slap back to reality the red states need, but I wouldn't count on it, it will end up like WWII and the final battle of Berlin.
The charlatan preachers in the mega churches all through the south are eagerly waiting for the collection plate to be passed around. If Donald can con ya, anybody can con ya, especially your preacher.

He's wondering if someone spit in his food, Donald has eaten a lot of spit, until someone clued him in. That's why he eats cheeseburgers from McDonald's or has a goon stand over the cook and watch the waiter. Always treat those who serve you politely and with respect, or you too may eat their spit.

try to tell them and they don't even get it..pretending that it's not true won't make it less scary..it's what he's doing, men- it's what he's doing and a very slippery slope to your worse fucking nightmare of hostile US takeover.

OK, feeling a lot of anxiety, so...
