Free Covid-19 testing paid for by the government is SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!!
What self-respecting republican thinks that SOCIALIZED MEDICINE is okay???
They should be slammed by all self-respecting republicans everywhere and barred from the republican lunches.

I see an exchange of continued testing in Texas at the expense of all federally supported testing in California, New York, Washington, Oregon, Vermont,…pretty much every blue state in the union. The Fed is going Red. Screw you, Blue.

Yea, we’ll see how far this goes. Seeing Cruz and Cornyn thrown under the bus will be fun to watch.

Someone realized he put his re-election prospects in the hands of an idiot and a coward.

While a vaccine is a reach, I was hoping for a cheaply-manufactured test this past Spring. That would have taken the wind out of Trump’s sails.
What could have happened would be bulk procurement by
Northeastern states (including NC and VA)
Midwestern states (including KY and TN)
Southwestern states (including AR, OK and KS)
Pacific states (including AZ and nearby states)
Gulf states (including FL and GA)

And what is Ted going to do if Trump tells him to fuck off? Shut down the government?

He controls the FDA which falls under HHS along with the CDC… No test approval, no test.
There were requests for alternative tests out of Europe and elsewhere, but they shut that down.
Turns out it does actually matter who sits in the WH.

Can’t until the end of September, funding’s already allocated.
And nobody shuts down the government right before an election unless their desire for political suicide is extremely high.

The feds only have 13 sites throughout the country. Think about that.
There should be dozens to hundreds in every state.
And Putin’s Puppet wants to close down the few that do exist. I wonder why.
