Isn't that one of the guidelines which the world is following except USA which W.H.O. implemented to follow & Trump wishes to destroy?

Basically a bunch of rich yes men jerking off the idiot in charge and getting nothing done. Fine day at the office while cities suffer from lack of testing and dwindling supplies.

? But “everyone who wants a test can get a test” realDonaldTrump VP SenateGOP

Any fool who believes anything this corrupt administration says already joined his cult. Let them all get working at hospitals, and meat packing plants. Lead by example time, show all of us how wrong we are.

“A ton of people” praising Trump. No names of course. Are we essentially China now?

He will never listen.
