Why so little coronavirus testing? Because it would prove what our govt doesn’t want to acknowledge: to face the challenge we need a vast mobilization of $, infrastructure & public investment that goes way beyond their ideological insistence on letting people fend for themselves

The candidate you endorsed was absent for the Coronavirus Bill... even though at least 2 of his constituents may have it. Your position of inclusivity and due care seem to have an asterisk*

We were ill prepared. We spend almost nothing on public health preparedness. Maybe we’ll learn from this one.

This is interesting as well as the responses to it. State’s might have been setting up the groundwork before now and need to step up.

A vast mobilization of cash, infrastructure and public investment falls outside the domain of Executive power, even emergency power, and is the Legislator's purview. Have we all been fighting so long we have forgotten how the system works?

Say that again for the [Republicans burying their heads in the sand] in the back!

Meaningless word salad.
Because the last thing Trump and the Republicans want to be talking about from now until November is healthcare. It’s already going to be a challenge defending the economy now.
