White House makes random coronavirus testing mandatory for staff

Didn't someone say to slow down the testing and that if we didn't test, we wouldn't have cases? And, that it's harmless 99% of the time? How about being a hoax?

They may as well stop testing to make the numbers look better at the WH. After all, doing that would "solve" the problem --> "no" new cases.

Stop being logical. The right won't understand that.
 
Yet another anti-masker and I guess a repeat offender judging by the quip (with the S word) near the end... She also violated the no electronics policy. Sign visible at ~0:34.

Made a trip to the DMV even worse. She didn't even need to be there!

That's just a "mandate", it's not a law.

One of the major national news outlets (either ABC or CBS) talked to one biker who arrived who was on the older side and said he didn't care about COVID-19...
 
I bet the Sturgis biker rally will be insane this year. It looks like the only large gathering for anything this year besides trump rallies.

NZ's population is almost 5 million people. In comparison, my county of about 2 million tends to report 100ish to 200ish new cases a day.
