    I agree. One of the things I have learned in my career is that people will still respect me even if I dont have the answer.

    It is okay to say - "I dont have an answer for you right now, but I will find out and have someone get back to you."

    That is much better than trying to make up something on the spot which comes back to make you look bad.

    Like Aqua said, it would have been so much better to say something like - "we are increasing the testing. Each day, we will have the capability to do more testing. Is it where I want it to be right now? No. But we have a lot of great people working on this moving forward." No commitments, no exact promises, BUT no lies either. So much better.

      For the record, my bad on getting on Jolly's case. I'm just pissed that we're not getting the messaging I personally would like to see from the president. Which in the scheme of things doesn't amount to anything.

      Please love yourself.

        We have no need for a scary president.

        That job is more than covered.

        He is, and has been, advocating the correct response to the flu.

        A little sunshine is part of his job.

          Yes, this, but our current president is incapable of making such a statement, regarding anything.

            That's the problem in a nutshell.

              Someone else here made a similar statement last week

              You really have to watch the press conferences

              He makes such a statement several times every day

                The countries with the highest test rates, Spain and Italy, have the highest death rates as well. However, countries with lower test rates, such as Japan have lower death rates.

                South Korea has performed 30X the tests that Japan has, and has a six-fold higher death rate.

                So Trump is actually saving lives by not testing us! Is there anything he can't do?
