It's increasingly clear that Trump doesn't want testing. It will show too many infections, which will "make him look bad." He doesn't want to find out that we had multiple unreported cases, including deaths, before he grandiosely "shut down" travel from China (apart from the forty thousand travelers who came in after that). He doesn't want to know how many people have it now, even when the experts say "we can't leave lockdown unless we know!" He's got a good feeling about "reopening." Sunlight will fix it. Nobody's died in hot, humid places, like Florida, Georgia, or Louisiana! Viruses and diseases don't like all that sun and humidity, you know; that's why those areas have always been the safest, least disease-ridden places around, and it's why people like going there, because it's so safe!

Gah. Distracted myself channeling the guy with the very good [points at ear-hair] you-know. Point is, he doesn't want testing, because it will show him up. He never wants to know expert opinion of facts, when he can rely on his incomparably broken instincts.
