>>we’ve done more tests than any country in the world<< Not per capita. But, you knew that. Why in heaven's name does Trump keep citing South Korea in trying to convey success? They have done everything right - he has done nothing but lie and hide the virus! By the way, he called the president of South Korea last Tuesday and asked for help with medical equipment! — Amy Siskind 🏳️‍🌈 (@Amy_Siskind) March 31, 2020

"You do realize we’ve done more tests than any country in the world," Not per capita. "the number of tests has just a (huge) tad of correlation with the number of cases, you get that?" #NoTestsNoCases

not per capita. What lies behind Republican science denial? The answer seems to be a combination of fealty to special interests and fealty to evangelical Christian leaders like Jerry Falwell Jr., who dismissed the coronavirus as a plot against Trump, then reopened his university despite health officials’ warnings, and seems to have created his own personal viral hot spot. The point, in any case, is that decades of science denial on multiple fronts set the stage for the virus denial that paralyzed U.S. policy during the crucial early weeks of the current pandemic.
