Swab: Cotton swabs or cotton buds are handheld items that consist of one or two small wads of cotton wrapped around one or both ends of a short rod made of wood, rolled paper or plastic. One of the biggest bottlenecks in testing people for the novel coronavirus has not involved complex machines to detect genetic material or molecular biology. It’s been a shortage of swabs to take samples. A day after saying reopening the economy would be the charge of state governors, Trump used his private 2-hour MAGA RALLY Campaign bully pulpit to undermine them. He also tweeted support to protestors (many paid and positioned by the very wealthy Plutocrats and American Oligarchs, demanding an end to stay-at-home orders and blamed governors for not having the material needed to conduct testing for coronavirus! One simple piece of the testing required is a four-letter word called a SWAB. There is also one word to describe something that Trump does not give to help with the COVID-19, and word is a FUCK!
Now, if we all could use the best-known SWAB of them all the Q-Tip, one parcel of the adequate testing for COVID-19, it would be plentiful, but cotton, from which the Q-Tip is manufactured contains its own DNA, which acts almost as a contaminant, so FINALLY, the FDA also announced that US Cotton, the country’s largest manufacturer of cotton swabs, has developed a polyester-based swab fully compatible with COVID-19 testing. The firm plans to manufacture the swabs in “large quantities,” the FDA said. Right now, however, the US is struggling to test even 100,000, so getting to the scale some researchers suggest would demand a huge ramp-up incapacity. Yet, they say, it’s possible to do it. And despite the immense financial and social costs of a national testing system, it may yet be the cheapest path to reopening the economy.
I waited to write my blog, knowing that by the time I awoke, and placed finger to keyboard, a whole lot of Trump Turd would have fallen, making my original rant irrelevant. So I waited, and what did I get for my erstwhile hesitation, was more of the same, but in larger doses. Not one SHIT (another four-letter word like SWAB and FUCK) about getting free testing to the states. But instead, a mini-documentary about TRUMP, and how if you take anything out of context, even he can be made to sound HUMAN, CARRYING, EMPATHIC, AND PRESIDENTIAL. We still have no testing on a wide nation scale, but Trump, today even more than many other days, did have PLENTY of good, tremendous and perfect words to recite about himself. A SWAB, one piece of a puzzle, so easy to manufacture, and provide, but instead, of science, we have science fiction, and tons of wanna be Zombies gathering in clusters demanding we on suicide and homicide so we can save both the economy and of course Trump’s RE-ELECTION chance in November!
