Memo to Our Idiot President


What do you have to lose?
Memo to our idiot President:

Stop saying that we should stop testing so much for COVID and that our numbers are only so high because we are catching asymptomatic cases.  

For any normal person I would point out that catching and isolating asymptomatic cases stops spread and keeps people from getting sick.  But I get that you don't think ahead that far.  

So let's stick strictly to appearance and ignore anything so irrelevant as reality.  There are at least two reasons why large-scale testing makes you look good.  First of all, the more tests we do, the more non-infected people get tested.  That means that widespread testing lowers our positivity rate and makes you look good.  The second is that catching mild and asymptomatic cases instead of just seriously sick people means a lower mortality rate. Either of those will give you something to brag about.

Think about it.
