Watching our fearless leader in front of Rideau Cottage. Skippy makes a comment that we are fortunate to have tremendous fiscal fire power to fight the crisis. He must have his finger on the printing press button. Freeland made the same comment yesterday. Skippy also reassured a news reporter that sophie and the kids were in the cottage but no one was waving from the window. He is going to self isolate for 14 days but does not need to be tested. So when does he get tested? When he is out of isolation, back in public and developes symptoms.

President Trump criticized over ‘incompetent’ response to coronavirus pandemic

President Donald Trump is facing growing criticism over his handling of the new coronavirus pandemic as he continues to play down its seriousness, the U.S. severely lags other countries in testing for the infection and congressional leaders tussle over a relief package.
The frustration with the White House mounted a day after Mr. Trump announced a travel ban on 26 European countries – a move public-health experts said would be ineffectual in stopping the virus and former vice-president Joe Biden described as “xenophobic†– but failed to unveil measures to stem infections in the U.S.
Mr. Trump had intended the measure to soothe economic fears by projecting presidential authority. Instead, markets saw their largest single-day fall since the stock market plunge of 1987.
One top public-health official conceded Thursday that the U.S. did not have the infrastructure to process large numbers of tests, accounting for the government’s flagging response to the virus.
“The system is not really geared to what we need right now, what you are asking for. That is a failing. Let’s admit it,†Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a congressional committee. “The idea of anybody getting [the test] easily the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that.â€
According to figures from the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. has processed more than 11,000 coronavirus tests. By comparison South Korea, a country that has roughly one-sixth the U.S. population, has tested 230,000 people.
Officials have blamed several factors: Initially, the CDC issued a faulty test and did not allow local authorities to use other tests. The CDC has also said it does not have enough personnel or lab space to process large numbers of tests. And stringent criteria for receiving the test meant most people could not take it even if they were exhibiting symptoms.
But speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, Mr. Trump claimed the testing was “going very smooth.†And he insisted that Britain, which he exempted from the travel restrictions, didn’t “have very much infection,†even though its 460 cases are more than in 12 of the countries subject to the ban.
Mr. Trump also refused to be tested for coronavirus after a photograph emerged of him standing next to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s press aide, who was confirmed Thursday to have the infection, at Mar-a-Lago last weekend.
“We sat next to each other for a period of time, had a great conversation,†Mr. Trump said. “Let’s put it this way: I’m not concerned, okay?†.......

Leftists should be cheering it on, our world is too populated. They cheer on baby killing and spend money on it. Why aren’t they spending money on spreading the virus. Wait, maybe they are.
And here it is...
