Testing Joe?

So why is he refusing to be tested regularly, as the President is, for a highly contagious virus that has killed 173,000 Americans? As of August 19, COVID-19 has claimed the lives of approximately 41,000 Americans aged between 74 and 85. Joe Biden is an American aged between 74 and 85.
The last time Biden personally spoke about being tested was July 28, almost a full month ago. Both the candidate and his campaign stonewall the public and the media on this topic, as families suffer losses, both personally and economically. Presumably Biden doesn’t think it’s that important.
In an interview with deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos noted that the Biden campaign refused on two occasions in the prior week to answer questions on if Biden has ever been tested. When asked directly, Bedingfield responded, ‘He has not had the virus,’ but then went on to say ‘he has not been tested, however we have put the strictest protocols in place and moving forward, should he need to be tested, he certainly would be.’

@jon-nyc said in Testing Joe?:
Why is ‘refusing’ the right word?
Am I refusing to be tested? Are you?
That sounds about right. That said if I had been on a plane or outside my bubble indoors I would get tested.
This is a game of cat and mouse about the testing. God there is nothing too small to make a point over. No wonder congress can rarely pass a bill.

@jon-nyc , I agree. "Refuse" is the wrong word.
But the point still stands that as far as we know, he has not been tested. Steph's comment was deflected.
Can you see the WH press room?
"Mr. President, you have not been tested for SARS-CoV-2 yet. Can you please tell us why?"

Why isn’t the better description “following the advice of medical professionals”?
Which is something to the effect of if you have symptoms get tested.
This is basically a complaint that he’s acting like the rest of us and not taking advantage of a privilege the rest of us don’t even have.
(That’s privilege used in the traditional way, not the woke way)
