Let's talk about this.
They went from testing everyone to testing those with symptoms. You know, just like we do here. Only that you can still ask to be tested without symptoms there.
Shock, horror, Conspiracy....
Does he have an angle, yeah maybe he does. But its still adequate testing.
Yes, it is conspiracy. The difference between there and here is that ScoMo is following expert advice and Trump is ignoring expert advice for political reasons.
Where we are on the COVID-19 curve is vastly different to the US and requires a different response. The rate of testing in the US is inadequate according to Fauci and the testing they are doing is to a certain degree useless (according to Gates) because the results can take up to 2 weeks to come back.
In deaths per million people, the US is 11th worst in the world and is still growing at 3 to 5 per million per day. Quite a few countries ahead of them (worse than them) are European countries that have to a large degree got it under control and projections see the US passing them in the next few months.
Does he have an angle? Of course he does. His angle is how can he suppress numbers so that it won't be too obvious to the idiots that follow him that his response to this crisis is a total disaster.
