Test OR Guess?

I hate to sound like I'm always “irked” but the fact is that our current POTUS says and does things that really irk me! I understand when you're faced with a trying situation and you have to make difficult decisions, it's not easy. But there are some things that just make sense for you to do and people should not have to ask you questions to explain yourself or clarify what you meant, when the decision for you to make was not that difficult! For example, recently the president has been asked about testing for the coronavirus. He has answered the question on many occasions and to be honest, I don't really know what his answer is. It sounds like he's saying that we're testing too much! There are too many people who want to be tested. Even though he himself gets tested on a regular basis. Does that make any sense? (???) Well of course if there are more tests done, that will probably reveal more people with the coronavirus. But! What are you supposed to do IF you think you might have the virus? I mean … when you go to a doctor for almost any health issue – not just an infectious disease - and you're not sure what you've got, nine times out of ten, doesn't the doctor say: “Well, we may run some tests.” And do you then respond back to the doctor: “Test? Tests? Why do you have to run tests?” What should the doctor do? GUESS??!! Imagine. You go to a doctor or the ER and the medical personnel flip a coin. ~ HEADS. Coronavirus. Get medical treatment. ~ TAILS. No coronavirus. Go back home. If the guess was wrong. What's the worse that could happen? Go back home and infect your family. Y'all all be sick together and possibly die together! Instead, of asking the president to explain what he meant. They should have just asked: Mr. President, what does you suggest as an ALTERNATIVE TO TESTING FOR CORONAVIRUS? And for those people who keep testing you to make sure that you don't have the virus, tell them to use your “ALTERNATIVE”.

Trump has made it very clear that he now thinks we are doing too much testing. Why? Because our numbers of COVID-19 cases keeps rising...making his decision-making process look bad.

The most intelligent person in the world will likely make a bad decision and a wrong decision, if they don't ask questions and receive reliable information and facts to base their decisions on. The British Prime Minister said, in a public international news report, that bad decisions were made because they did not know enough about the virus. However, I respectfully disagree with him. Bad decisions were made because HE didn't take the virus seriously and he bloody well knows that! It's the same thing for our POTUS.

How do we even know that Trump gets tested on a regular basis? Or that he always wears a mask?

He resisted at first but when the person who serves him his food tested positive he had a change of heart. That was too close for comfort!

I don't listen to him. At this point, it's all just noise.

I don't trust anything he says. If I go to the doctor because I'm sick, and he wants to do the test for coronavirus, then I'm letting him do it. I don't care if the president thinks there is too much testing.

Whatever he is asked, he lies anyway. I don't listen to him. I listen to trusted Dr. Falchi.

Some things he says he ends up contradicting himself. Like he will say one thing but then later say the opposite.
