For the longest time I assumed Trump had just pointed out that testing showed up how many cases there are but then I saw him on the news and he literally said he had told them to slow down the testing. omg. omg.
contrast this to the Victorian premier who responded to a small jump in cases with reimposing some of the restrictions. He said it spreads like wildfire. He hasn't gone back to complete lockdown - suppression rather than repression - he has taken measures to contain it. He spoke at length to the public going into all details wanted.
It appears Trump doesn't care about anything but getting re-elected and that is a huge worry in itself.
For a while there, with the bush fires burning, Australia felt like one of the last places on earth you'd want to live, but now being so far away from everywhere else and with a wet period predicted it feels like one of the best!
