Did you read what you wrote....we need testing to see if people died.
Uh, no, we need testing to know whether people WHO HAVE COVID19 live or die.

You still don't understand the concept of statistical error.
You know how polls always have a "margin of error"? You ask a thousand people the day before the election if they're going to vote for Trump, 500 say yes. Do you expect Trump to get
exactly 50% of the hundred million votes on election day?
That's the problem with the current US "death rate". It's like a poll with a very very low sampling rate.

Trump is making it worse than it has to be for us, as in the totally botched roll-out of the Europe travel ban that needlessly and senselessly exposed thousands of Americans by co-mingling everyone, including known Covid19 carriers, at airports. Does that sort of incompetence matter to you? It does to me.
Then there were the weeks spent denouncing concerns as a Democrat/media hoax. Does that sort of incompetence matter to you? It does to me.
