Trump’s call to slow COVID testing is just a bad joke

President Donald Trump has attempted to brush off as a joke comments he called for COVID-19 testing to be slowed down during an Oklahoma rally. Studies Centre Non-Resident Fellow James Brown told Sky News Mr Trump’s comments about slowing down testing to hide bad news were not made in jest. “The president’s team now trying to suggest that was just the president making a joke as they’ve done before when he’s said some of these outrageous things,” Mr Brown said. “One thing that’s never in doubt, the president says what is on his mind in these speeches. “I don’t think there’s any doubt that meant what he said, that he’d asked them to slow down the testing to put off bad news.” Mr Brown said such a move would be highly concerning for health authorities trying to control the outbreak of COVID-19 in the US where 1.2 million active cases remain – the most infected country in the world.
