This is Trump's doing. Keep that in mind.
Trump Follows Through on Threat to ‘Slow the Testing Down’
The Department of Health and Human Services has announced it will pull funding from more than a dozen drive-through testing sites across five states, including Texas, at the end of the month.
The move has left top Democrats incensed:
“The pandemic is clearly getting worse in states nationwide,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the health committee, said in a blast to reporters, “and instead of trying harder to stop it, President Trump is apparently trying harder to hide it.”
Resources are not the issue.
This move comes after Democratic senators called out the administration for failing to spend nearly $14 billion that Congress appropriated to increase testing.
GOP senators push back on Trump administration plan to end support for testing sites
Texas Sens. John Cornyn (R) and Ted Cruz (R) on Thursday sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) protesting the administration’s plans to cut back federal support of drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites in Texas and other states.
The senators called the testing sites “critical to Texas’ testing capacity” at a time the number of coronavirus cases in the state is spiking, hitting a peak of 5,551 new cases on Wednesday.
“Now is not the time to end a program that is working and successfully increasing testing capacity — especially for underserved communities in the state. Due to the recent rise of COVID-19 cases in Texas, cities need additional time to prepare for the transition to state and local control of the testing sites,” the senators wrote in a letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar and FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday the state will pause its reopening plan and ordered hospitals to halt elective surgeries to help deal with the crush of new cases.
I think I know why this is happening.
Many people have told me that Alex Jones has told them many people have told him that Trump is sabotaging testing as part of his term-long effort to undermine the national security of America to the advantage of Vladimir Putin's Russia.
It fits in with everything he has done to botch the federal response to this virus and wreck the American economy, everything to sabotage the response to the Floyd demonstrations, everything to undermine America's intelligence services and national security establishment and the confidence of Americans in them, and everything else he has done to weaken American institutions and subvert the US Constitution over the course of his entire term.
All of it for Putin and to wreck America.
Anyway that's what many people are telling me Alex Jones has said many people have told him.
Great job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. There tend to be not many people who can certainly write not so simple posts that artistically. Continue the nice writing testing for covid 19 near me
