Prefer Boulder. I'll stand with Abigail Freemantle
CBS right now: "As you can see, the presidential podium is set up. But still no sign of the president or his staff."
Out of concern for people gathering, I have suspended the 2020 election. We can do another one in 2024 which will be for my second term.

Unless COVID-19 responds to warm weather like the flu often does, and then starts spreading again in the fall.
His announcement just started. Spent 5 minutes patting himself on the back, before declaring national emergency.

And he's still trying to downplay how serious this is, saying that he doubts we'll need all 1.5 million tests that will be made available....

Reminder that Dolt45 continues to lie about the Obama administration mishandling Swine Flu/H1N1.

Google had no idea that Dol45 was going to announce they were making a nationwide website for the public to get COVID-19 testing.
Trump Caught Google Off Guard With a Bogus Coronavirus Site Announcement
"President Donald Trump announced Friday that the US government’s coronavirus testing apparatus, which has lagged badly behind other developed nations, would soon get an assist from Google. The search and advertising giant will create a website, Trump said, that would help Americans figure out if they need a test for the virus, and if so where they can find one.
"The only problem: There is no nationwide site like the one Trump described. And Google had no idea the president was going to mention one."
Verily Life Sciences, which broke off from Google in 2015, though it is still a subsidiary of Alphabet, is working on a website for healthcare professionals in the Bay Area. It is not a website for individuals across the nation to get information or testing.

That's assuming that he doesn't already have it, and they're refusing testing because he thinks he'll look weak if it becomes public knowledge that he's sick.
Tom Hanks for president.

It's the hands. They're too small for the coronavirus to latch on to.

Also, there's a reason why they just quarantine people for 14 days and don't test unless they have symptoms (if they have a limited tests) or at the end of the period.
Until you're symptomatic, chances are it wouldn't show up on the test.
And i'm guessing the people that do test positive without symptoms are going to be mostly asymptomatic anyway.

Of course the real conclusion to be drawn from that is that the reason the markets went under is because of his lies and inaction on the pandemic.
Once he actually did something about it, no matter how small, everyone stopped panicking.
And some people are now a whole lot richer.

Which begs the question: Was the delayed action intentional in order to cause a market panic, and allow even more consolidation of wealth?
Unfortunately, profiteering is seen by those (who want to be) in power as "good business sense" and "shrewd" and they have no idea why you are complaining.

Dollars to donuts the Trump administration was going to sell the cure at a markup had they gotten what they wanted by bribing the Germans.
