>>The federal response HAS been inadequate and incompetent, and thanks to Trump there is not even any consistency in what people are being being told. It does not take a genius to know what is needed right now..more tests.
So your beef is that not enough testing is or can be done?
Did you get that from Fauci on the Pence taskforce, or physicians in your state, or from a comedian, or where?
Re consistency- can you convert the imprecise smear into something specific?
I'm a fan of the "when the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" attributed to Keynes. Facts are compelling. Extravagant imprecise smears, not so much.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
