President Donald Trump on Thursday griped about the pressure he’s facing to increase the ability to test people for the coronavirus, saying that testing might be “overrated” anyway.Vice President Mike Pence also faced significant criticism when he visited the Mayo Clinic and did not wear a mask ― even though it was the policy of the facility.
Trump has been playing down the significance of testing people to see whether they have the coronavirus, even though medical experts and scientists said it’s key to overcoming the pandemic ?. In addition to the volume of tests, experts ? said it also matters which populations are getting tested and whether there is adequate contact tracing to track who has been infected.
At the same time, he has boasted that the United States has “the best testing in the world” ― a claim that is not true.?
But there is one place where testing is readily available: at the White House. After several staffers who have had close contact with the president and vice president tested positive for COVID-19, tests are now readily available at the White House that take just minutes to get results (although the reliability of those results has been questioned).
Staffers will also now have to wear masks most of the time, a policy that the president said he put into place himself. Trump, however, will continue not to wear one.

Yes, a mask can be symbolic. Masks worn in ritual, by shamans, or for ceremony, ritual magick, have purpose and value. Like attracts like and the magician, black or white, attracts those forces he wishes to harness and project into action..Living devas and elementals, such as the colour tones he works with.....A mask hides the normalcy of his human face, from said living forces and resultantly, they respond with greater focus to the spells charged in the occultist's athame, wand and talisman...
Wearing masks can be a symbolic message
I cannot see Donald Trump wearing a medial mask as he has said he will look ridiculous.
All the mask-wearers mark their fear, for all to see...Maybe they will parade their 666 RFID chips, as well....?
Trump is silently protesting and standing up for the false pandemic
Trump is too smart to fall for the lie surrounding medical masks.....He's also not scared of his own shadow, as many cowardly mask-wearers are...
