Two very simple and direct questions for the goddam "task force":

 
1.) If someone starts feeling sick and suspects coronavirus infection, what EXACTLY should they do?

2.) Why in hell don't we have "drive thru testing"---where people get swabbed IN THEIR CARS--- like other countries?

The answer to #1 should be repeated each time you go on TV to tell us how lucky we are that we have Trump.

Most people would do something DUmmies will find impossible to do. USE COMMON SENSE.

I've been trying to be nicer the past week or two, but Atticus "devastating" questions are monumentally dumb. So ...

1. "Go see your doctor, calling them first to get any special instructions and so they can prepare so as to protect staff and other patients. As th4 said, very basic common sense.

2. "Drive through" testing? Seriously? No protections for potential patients? No protections for staff? Dumping a sudden mass of data on their public health computer systems? Atticus needs to give up MadCow or MesSNBC or ThinkProgress or whatever ignorant propaganda outlet fed him that ludicrously non-credible line. States are doing testing where needed (including people with symptoms who request it), and some/many/most/all insurance companies are paying for tests at 100%

So many "devastating" question DU-folk are so difficult are based in their ignorance of what has already happened or is already happening. That's what happens when people choose "news" that only tells them what they want to hear. When it comes to news and facts inconvenient to Prog and Hate-Trump narratives, DU-folk are like         .

Were I to simply post my commentary-free timeline of coronavirus-related events between 12/31/2019 and 2/26/2020 and/or the list of treatments and vaccines about to enter or that are in testing, DU-folks' responses would overwhelmingly be a deluge of snarks and challenges, assuming I were not instead swiftly tombstoned.
