@fmanjoo Though it’s a good bet he’s going to end up with some sort of “I had bad judgement” defense. — PolitiTweet.org

@fmanjoo I don’t think there are any new questions to raise about Trump’s judgement. — PolitiTweet.org

Here, by the way, is @semaforben’s 2020 story about Trump pals trying unsuccessfully to sell the WSJ a Hunter Biden story, then taking it to NY Post and Breitbart. https://t.co/eZB3PtNyne https://t.co/B4oX06iRqw — PolitiTweet.org

Real q: Yes he was the president. But he was also the president that we’re told never read a briefing, and required aides to use charts with large type to explain things. So what kind of material information about nukes would someone present to him that he would keep? — PolitiTweet.org

@DrEricDing @culbrich Again, you seem to be misunderstanding what I’m saying: I’m not minimizing COVID. I am saying that we don’t have functioning testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@culbrich @DrEricDing And yes this is an anecdote but it’s my anecdote: started antigen testing multiple times a day, starting two days after exposure and when I first felt a symptom. Never got a positive. Got a pcr 7 days after exposure and got a positive result two days after that. 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@culbrich @DrEricDing This story is a little clearer but you still have to read between the lines: It’s the government basically shrugging and telling the country to move on, and hope that if they get COVID it’s mild. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DrEricDing I’m not talking about paxlovid or vaccines or seatbelts or lots of other things that reduce harm. I’m saying we don’t have any practical way of determining whether people are infectious and we should be honest about that. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@theurv Yes, exactly. So we are all going to have to recognize that even the most well-meaning people can’t keep these events/activities “safe”. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@DrEricDing Telling people to test multiple times is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t. Also thinking of settings (camps, schools, offices) that require a single negative antigen test to proceed/enter/enroll. It means we’ve entered the shoes-off-at-TSA phase, where it’s just ritual. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Ps I believe the answer is: Unless there is a technical improvement testing is now essentially useless and is to be used solely for liability reasons or to be polite. But happy to be wrong! — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

To recap: *The rapid tests people are using to determine if they are infectious don’t work. *PCR tests take days to return, and show positive results weeks after they aren’t infectious. So: What now? — PolitiTweet.org
