Here’s another little glitch: CNN reports testing in those locations is still very limited. “Almost all of the locations are offering coronavirus testing only to first responders and health care workers, and some offer it only to those who fall under those categories and are showing symptoms.”

Not to take anything away from those health care workers and first responders, because they absolutely, positively need to be tested, but we also need mass testing to figure out where we are in this pandemic. As CNN notes, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has tested approximately 34,000 people after various community centers, but that is a drop in the bucket for a nation of 327,000,000 people.

Like all things Trump, that March 13 press conference in the Rose Garden was more about creating the appearance of effective leadership and strong partnerships between the public and private sectors. The CEOs were little more than props in a made-for-television production. The reality is this is one more failed test of the reality show president.

And be fair, these CEOs could be doing a lot more, starting with guaranteed sick leave for all employees (now and forever) and protective gear for all front-facing employees.

At the end of the day, forget four more years of this reality buffoon. There are many days where I question whether we can withstand four more months of this deadly incompetence.
