Excerpt from CNN:
(CNN) Republican and Democratic governors pushed back Sunday on Donald Trump's claims about coronavirus testing, escalating the tension over a fundamental challenge to reopening the nation. Governors in Virginia, Maryland and Michigan on CNN's "State of the Union" disputed Trump's claims -- and Vice President Mike Pence's subsequent echoing -- that their states had the appropriate levels of testing needed to reopen their states. Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam called the claims from the federal government on testing capacity "delusional." "That's just delusional. To be making statements like that. We've been fighting every day for PPE. We have supplies now coming in. We've been fighting for testing," Northam told Jake Tapper. "It's not a straightforward test. We don't even have enough swabs, believe it or not. And we're ramping that up, but for the national level to say we have what we need, and really to have no guidelines to the state levels is just irresponsible because we're not there yet." Northam said that he'd like to see at least two weeks of trending numbers of coronavirus cases going down and ramped up testing capabilities before he starts opening up businesses in his state. "We want to make sure we're doing it responsibly and we're doing it safely," he said. On the same program, Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said the lack of testing is the number one problem in America and "has been since the beginning of the crisis." "The administration I think is trying to ramp up testing. They are doing some things with respect to private labs but to try and push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing and they should just get to work on testing, somehow we aren't doing our job, is just absolutely false," Hogan said. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan called for further action on testing from the Trump administration, saying that "it would be nice if we had a national strategy that was working with every state so every state knew what was coming." -- MAGA - Manipulating America's Gullible Assholes |
