Come on, this can’t be real
The coronavirus never really went away in the United States; Donald Trump just pretended it did, and a bunch of states started “reopening” without any valid reason for doing so. Now we’re seeing record numbers of new cases in various states, even multiple NFL teams now say their players have begun testing positive.
But don’t tell any of this to Donald Trump, who is trying to convince us that the numbers are only going up because we’re doing so much testing, and that if we would just stop testing people, our numbers would go down:
Our testing is so much bigger and more advanced than any other country (we have done a great job on this!) that it shows more cases. Without testing, or weak testing, we would be showing almost no cases. Testing is a double edged sword – Makes us look bad, but good to have!!!

Wait, this tweet can’t be real, can it? Trump is pushing the notion that if weren’t testing people, they wouldn’t have even have coronavirus. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this line of rhetoric from him – but it’s the most blatant. It’s like the guy’s brain has dissolved completely into jello.
