Im just commenting on the most up to date WH presser, it’s a misconception/sport that I ‘support’ Trump, I’m just more aware of the anti-Trump bias.
It was Mike Pence that stated they’ve tested 4 million Americans to date and Trump who stated the over supply of ventilators even going as far as informing they still have federal emergency reserves of ventilators not fully utilised.
The general tone of this press briefing was of the beginning of a tailored and measured approach to re-opening counties within states based on data, characterised by a female official (can’t remember her name or position) as a sunrise rather than an on/off switch.
On a separate note, I’ve heard that the govt here in the U.K. may be starting to allow certain business to re-open like garden centres.
But you didn’t comment on it, you merely repeated it, as if it was a fact.
Contrary to the claim that they’re testing a million people a day (just think about the that
Marty1 ... how is it even possible to be testing one million people a day in America?) , this report from CNN says it’s 150,000 a day.
The United States' coronavirus death toll topped 40,000 on Sunday afternoon, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

“Testing nationwide is currently at 150,000 per day, they said, adding that "If we can't be doing at least 500,000 tests a day by May 1, it is hard to see any way we can remain open."...”
(See how that works? I didn’t say “they’re testing 15,000 a day” I said “this report says that they’re testing...”)
It doesn’t matter if it was Trump or Pence who said the thing about the vents; it’s the Trump administration, which is supporting Trump’s ambitions for a second term.
This idea of America being able to get back to normal in a week or two is dangerous nonsense. I can’t believe you believe it. Do you really beleive it ? On what grounds? Other than the say-so of a female whose name and credentials you can’t recall?
What the UK is doing or not doing is not relevant here, other than to say that we’re several weeks ahead of the US and only now considering the possibility of loosening the lockdown, so how can America be ready for releasing their much less comprehensive lockdown?
As for your unbiased opinion of Trump, I’d have more respect for that if you could support any of his claims with reports from anywhere that wasn’t FOX or the Mail or some other brown-nose.
