The nose swab is so painful. Why didn't anyone let me know.

This guy is like 3.5 feet tall

Some Walmarts will open parking lots for drive through testing.

This pretty much goes against all the people who said that no matter what Trump says people would bash him. This all sounds good to me. Just... where was this responsiveness weeks ago

This feels like an advertisement

You got tested???

This is the response we should have had at minimum Wednesday, but probably weeks ago. This is a good press conference, regardless of how you feel about the President and his lack of... eloquence.

Pretty clear message

Trump cannot do this and is relying entirely on private sector

It shouldn't be or at least it isn't for the flu.

I wonder how all these people feel about sharing the mic with a guy who shared company with someone who subsequently tested positive to the virus.

Separately, has anyone named a single "rule" or "regulation" that is impeding this administration's ability to efficiently and effectively respond to COVID-19?

They've probably been in meetings with him all day.

They mentioned a few rules relating to the FDA as well as some medical regulations.

Mike Pence is absolutely disgusting. I hope he wipes his chin when he is finished.

Looked like a plumbers brush thing used to clean small objects. On a long stick that went into my brain.

I got tested for the flu. Been home sick the past two days with a cold. No fever or aches. Have shortness of breath because I have asthma.

I don't even know where to go to get tested if I wanted to. The Dr didn't either.


Everyone I work with travels international to Europe and I shop in lower gwynned and montgomeryville.

How can Mike Pence talk while gargling Trump’s balls in his mouth?

You got lucky, the new test is rectal.

A very smart decision. I think this all sounds good.

The more I think about it, this press conference has been mostly flash, no substance. Which is better than his Oval Office address. Unless I missed a timeline on expanded testing. The website could be helpful, unless there is still a high standard to meet to get directed to a testing facility which just further puts us behind on identifying infected/potential spread.

Good information punctuated with visits to a world that don and his disciples inhabit. I am not sure how a decent message about competitors working for a common cause managed such self stomping by making it into mini-commercials. The worst part is allowing Don to freewheel occasionally. Stay on message, give instruction, give hope, take action. Since we are all in this together, because of what inaction was in effect, is better as a public/private response.

Probably time to wrap this up now
