    To give you an idea just how bad it is House Minority Whip Debbie Dingell (D-MI) chastised Poppy Harlow who anchors CNN Newsroom for her attempts to inject politics into the topic.

    "You know what? I don’t think this is a time to take shots... Taking cheap shots at people right now is not the thing to do."


    Now anyone who knows anything about Dingell realizes that she has never shied away from making gratuitous low blows in the past so when she tells them that they're taking "cheap shots" that is really something.

    It's about as likely as Adam Schiff admitting he lied about having a mountain of evidence showing that Trump colluded with Putin during the 2016 election.

    It's about as likely as Bill Clinton keeping it in his pants.

    And yet, there it was.

      I think it was a CNN commentator who following Trump's announcement of drive-thru testing suggested that Trump hates people who don't have cars.

              Maybe you should be addressing all of those that directly addressed it rather than ignoring them and whining instead.

                    What are you trying to achieve? I see a whole lot of blaming others for the failure of this administration to take the threat seriously. Until recently the line was there was nothing to worry about. That wasn't true. We know that is not true.

                    It was the democrats mocking him, really? really, is that the best defense you can muster?

                    Here is what a top health professional said about the US's preparations:

                    "The system is not really geared to what we need right now -- what you are asking for. This is a failing. It is a failing. Let’s admit it," Anthony Fauci, director of the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. "The idea of anybody getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that. Do I think we should be? Yes. But we’re not."

                    Here is what Trump has been saying: "Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is,” with additional bull being spouted a few days later, “Frankly, the testing has been going very smooth.” He added: “We have heavily tested.”

                    Now, even if the virus is less deadly than projected, which is not looking likely at this stage, being prepared for the worst in the face of an extremely uncertain threat would have been prudent. Instead, a nothingburger was served, for which people will die.

                        The average age of a Fox News watcher is 67. They tend to be men. The group most likely to die or be hospitalised to the virus.

                          It is your whining we have to deal with, and avoiding the subject of the thread.

                              So then, why have you chosen to ignore any and all posts that directly address your O.P.? Inability? Unwillingness? Both?

                                Joe Biden's coronavirus "expert" thinks 75 is a good age to die.
