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.

How much longer can this continue? How many more lives will be taken due to intentional negligence? For what? The stock market? Marianne is right... “We much transition from an economic bottom line to a humanitarian bottom line.” If not now...When?

Recommend listening to today's Daily podcast for an idea of *how* South Korea and China are doing it. It's more than testing. Smart. We should be doing it here, of course. nytimes.com/2020/03/12/podca…

One might wonder if this is just another hoax/distraction to try to defeat Trump.

Those funds were allocated to inject into a falsely inflated system so that the ultra rich loose less. “Where are we supposed to get the money” 1.5 trillion in one day? Wish I had a money printer for my homeless friends.

Don’t kid yourself, this is a stupid statement.
