Donald Trump is doing his very best to convince the masses that all is well and the deadly new coronavirus that’s sweeping the globe and rapidly spreading across the nation is nothing to be concerned over.
In an attempt to quiet things down as the stock market continues to plummet and he watches what little chance at reelection he has left go swirling down the toilet, Trump declared over the weekend that one of the main issues surrounding COVID-19, the massive lack of tests for the illness, was now solved all thanks to him.
“But as of right now and yesterday, anybody that needs a test, that’s the important thing,” Donald proclaimed on Friday. “And the tests are all perfect.”
But now that people have found themselves at risk after attending the recent Conservative Political Action Conference where two attendees were infected with the potentially fatal virus, the truth regarding Trump’s claim is beginning to come to light. And once again, it’s not in his favor.

One individual, described as “high-profile” who was present at the CPAC and exposed to the infected people has now revealed that they were denied a test for the novel coronavirus with their symptoms being referred to as “irrelevant.”
Raheem Kassam reports that the individual was denied a test by the Virginia Department of Health after being told that they were ineligible unless they could provide the full name of the infected individual they were exposed to during the conference.
This was just text to me from a high profile CPAC attendee:
“Went to doc today, VA. Referred to health dept if I want a test for COVID-19. Doc told me health dept won’t give tests without full name of the person diagnosed that you came into contact with. Symptoms irrelevant.”

It was only three days ago when Trump promised the nation that tests would be widely available to anyone who needed one. Yet, here we are, with a “high-profile” individual revealing that, once again, Donald has lied through his teeth.
I’m here to tell you folks, regardless of what Trump declares, if someone important enough to attend the CPAC isn’t getting a test, you can bet your bottom dollar that we won’t either.
