I agree with you about Trump haters. They are making hay out of all of this. However, this will pass in 2-3 months and then they will look silly. In the mean time, I'd like for Trump not to put his foot in his mouth so that he can win the damned election in November. Thank God, we dodged the Bernie bullet, but Biden is an imbecile and a criminal (Burisma). So I'd really rather he not become President. Having said that, unlike you, I don't think every word that comes out of Trump's mouth is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think the man is doing a great job, but he gets into one hell of a lot of trouble because of his verbal diarrhea and his twitter account. That's a fact. Now as to the virus itself, when you say this virus is not that deadly, then you are telling me you are uninformed. It is at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the seasonal flu. How can you not know that? For old people, especially those in their 80s, it has an extremely high mortality rate. So yes, we should be worried, and we should be taking this very seriously. The fact that the CDC is unable to coordinate the production and distribution of plentiful test kits in a timeline manner is a massive failure and they should be held accountable for that. South Korea was able to test 60,000 people within 1 week of the first person contracting the virus. Shortly thereafter, they were able to test 10,000 people a day. We're the richest country on earth and somehow, we've only been able to test 1,865 people so far. I only have one thing to say to that: WTF!
