How is the lack of antibody testing a mistake? It’s no different than the actual test for the virus. It takes time. They are ramping it up as fast as they can. I’m guessing he wants the antibody test out immediately as that is a huge key in getting out from under this lockdown. The media just jumps from one crisis within this crisis to another daily. First it was travel bans are racist. Then it was lack of testing. Then lack of hospital beds. Then lack of ventilators. Now a fight with the governors. The constant fear machine and crisis generation is much worse than the actual virus itself.

Meanwhile, it really didn't address what the previous poster claimed about "science" and "being ahead of science".

Are you sure that's not cheeto dust on your lips?
Do you have a different timeline to dispute that timeline?

But you did prove one thing. You are a troll, with over 6,000 posts.

Well, it’s after Easter and I’m still in my basement. He pedaled false hope and down played the impact from his podium for weeks for his own vanity. He also refused to set a national coordinated FEMA response while leaving the tough decisions to governors. Now he wants to command the upswing. I couldn’t disagree more. He got a few things right but for the wrong reasons. Closing China travel was about the trade war and chloroquine was grasping at straws knowing the research wasn’t done so he could pump the potential. BTW a definitive study is still not completed and won’t be for some time but I’m glad to hear anecdotal results that have benefited some people.

Even if the previous administration failed to replenish a stockpile, the fault falls to the guy who made no moves to fix the problem in the three years since the previous guy left.

especially when you tweet things like this:

I can’t find any stories that say that Trump’s travel ban was racist. Do you have any links?

Yes, that is what the article said. Read my post, I said Trump could have replaced the items that were depleted in the last flu outbreak. That article literally says the supplies from the last flu outbreak weren't replaced. No where did I say the shelves were empty, which is what you probably assumed, because of your left wing confirmation bias. Factcheck.org is also not a credible source of facts either, it's the same level as Fox News.
