S. Korea has tested 140,000 for coronavirus; we’ve tested fewer than 10,000. When they give numbers of confirmed cases in USA, the numbers are meaningless because our testing rate is so low. We need to spend everything necessary in order to provide free testing & free treatment.

Do not kid yourself about why we are not doing better in the US. There are powerful people talking about it as I write this, arguing over how many people is acceptable to them to have die in order to save the stock market. Don’t just listen to the news; understand the news.

When they come out with a vaccine for #Covid_19 will you support people getting it (for free), and making it mandatory? You have a chequered history with vaccines and science, and a large platform. Do the right thing please
