Dear @realDonaldTrump: Without testing, we would have even more infections. Testing lets us see the hidden enemy and isolate those who are infected to prevent further spread of #COVID19. That’s why your own @WhiteHouse tests regularly and often. Get it?#ThursdayThoughts https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1261017121078861826 …

TRUMP: “When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases.”
The U.S. has carried out nearly 10 million coronavirus tests, but health experts say hundreds of thousands more per day need to be conducted before it’s safe to reopen the economy. And while the U.S. has conducted the most tests worldwide by sheer numbers, more than 30 countries rank higher by per-capita testing.
In a statement late Thursday, Joe Biden’s campaign criticized Trump’s comments: “With his statement today, President Trump has once again demonstrated that he is more concerned with his poll numbers and his reelection than he is with safeguarding American lives and delivering real economic recovery — both of which every expert tells us can only happen with adequate testing capacity to track and stop this disease.”
