I find it strange that they are denying the tests from Abbott Labs that takes 5 minutes. Pelosi and McConnell wrote a letter passing on the quick tests to get back to work. Now we see Trump taunting them on Twitter.

Does anyone know why they would deny the service? Seems they would be open to using what is being used on the populace.

They are asking why even McConnell denied them.

Because they know the infection rate is high as fuck, which initially looks HORRIBLE, but when you drill it down...drives the mortality rate way below 1 percent...and we come to the conclusion that this shut down, destroying the economy, and ballooning our unemployment rate was absolutely UNNECESSARY!!

I think its even simpler than that. Trump would dismiss congress "for the safety of their members" and he could use that time to do recess appointments.

McConnell has fought that since day 1 on the job. And Pelosi is going to do everything in her power to obstruct Trump.

Drugs come to mind.

How many people in Congress are high as absolute fuck on opiates.

Or HCQ as a preventive...wouldn't that be funny if these asshats got caught taking it?

Because They’re concerned many will test positive for the antibodies proving it’s not high mortality.

Clearly they are not worried about the virus.

I also find it strange. Reports of tainted tests from China, possibly more false positives from the Abbotts test? It’ll be interesting to see if it comes out

I'd say they want to conceal something that they're worried these tests might reveal. Maybe antibodies...or maybe they're all on HCQ regimens.

100% correct assessment. If they show antibodies (and who knows what else) there goes their plausible deniability!

It has become crystal clear that the US Congress is not working for us the people, in fact it is working for states and groups helping to actively DESTROY US.

Think about that...
