(11,803 posts)We had no cases because we didnt test much.

Hey Joe - Nice job standing up for what's right. Where'd that get you?

But the Abbot policy is the Trump policy: "don't test; don't count."

I am wondering, just how long the Republicans thought this would work before it caught up to us......
Much like all the people walking down the jungle path, so intent with swatting mosquitoes that they were oblivious to the massive herd of charging elephants........(sorry for the pun) ...............so true on so many levels........

What will happen when the little country stores run out of supplies and they are not being restocked. Hopefully there have been lots of good gardens over the past summer, with lots of canning and freezing of product.
My husband's mother went up there to visit her sister, and she was struck by the isolation, and difficulty to get anywhere. Those roads are difficult driving, until you get to a major highway.

Do we have pandemic? No! Check.
Does anyone have the coronavirus? No! Check.
Have we done any tests? No! Check.
Do we have any test kits? No! Check.
Great! Now go out and tell the country that we don't have any coronavirus.
And tell them to start shopping and spending their money. Check!
