This isn’t just more testing.
This is just pure failure by Trump and many states, such as Florida. (and a very daft section of the public who view free will as mor eimportant than their own safety)

It's only flu, though.
Not even flu, really.

The House is debating the creation of a 51st State - Washington DC. DC was set aside as a non-partisan seat of Government, on land donated by Maryland and Virginia, and has no Congress Representatives or Senators. The District has a population of 700,000, which is more than Vermont or Wyoming, and not much different to another four States that have populations of less then a million.
The Bill is sponsored by Eleanor Holmes Norton, who represents the District in the House. Of all the participants in the debate, she is the only one who will have no vote on her Bill, as DC only has a non-voting delegate. That is more than it has in the Senate, where it is not represented at all.
It's been going on for ever. The Democrats claim that the residents have taxation without representation, a common bumper sticker in the city. DC's wealthy citizens contribute more tax than 22 States. Republicans say that Washington has more influence and has received more investment than anywhere else and it's just a ploy to increase Democrat House Representatives and get two extra Democrat Senators, all of which is true. Their offer is for DC residents to have representation by rejoining Maryland, but that's not what they want. Meanwhile, the delegate from the Virgin Islands stood up and said she supported DC's Statehood but at least its residents get to vote in Presidential elections - her constituents don't even get that.
It's all a charade. The Bill will be successful in the House and will go nowhere after that, with the Senate and President opposed.

That link is for the live House debates. The first 90 minutes of this clip is the discussion on DC's Statehood.

I wonder who wants Trump to resign more democrats or republicans.
4 months out and it is the likeliest ever that trump has screwed his re-election up by not even attempting the basics of being a president in the pandemic. Republicans would happily see him go Pence take over and then Pence would have a good shot at being elected, democrats would probably vote for trump to stay as they have the best chance of beating him and no one else.
The election will be a vote against trump not a vote for Biden.

Yeah, think you've nailed it there, neeko.
Surely nobody wants him out this close to the election.

That’s true. I wonder, if he’d had a good pandemic, whether the country would have overlooked everything that happened before. I suspect they would have. Crises are usually very helpful for current leaders’ ratings - you have to perform exceptionally badly for them to go down. It’s kinda too late for Trump to be challenged within the party, though. He has a lot more than the delegates required. He would have to do something really bonkers for the party to force his replacement, so that’s about 50/50, huh?
There have been rumours that he will ditch Pence and replace him with someone more modern. Forbes flew a kite last week for Elise Stefanik (
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/2020/06/20/elise-stefanik-vp-tryout/#7b52d2885cba
), who impressed in the impeachment debate, but that won’t happen - she is still too junior and not very well known. Nikki Haley would be the most likely replacement, but there are always rumours about replacing the VP when a sitting President goes for re-election (Obama, for example, was supposedly lining up Hillary, who was very popular at that point, in 2012 to replace Biden. Dubya has admitted that he came close to ditching Cheney, who he described as “dark and heartless”, in 2004), but it never seems to happen.

I think the first line is probably right. Obv no expert but I thought a Trump win was very likely at the turn of the year. It should be impossible now but I guess we'll see soon enough

This must be something to do with the Trump drift. She must be able to swing 7 figures of votes with that speech.
