This quote is very telling:


" 'You can’t win' by keeping viral and antibody findings separate in public data, he said, adding that combining the two tests’ results was the only way to improve Virginia’s position in a list of states ranked by the number of tests they had conducted per capita. 'If another state is including serological tests, and they’re ranked above Virginia, and we are not, and we’re getting criticized for that, [then], hey, you can’t win either way. Now we are including them, and our ranking will be better, and we’re being criticized,' he said."

I posted the other day about how politicians and policy makers have become utterly terrified of making decisions because they know they will be criticized by both social media and mainstream media. These people are supposed to be leaders, but instead they have become followers, asking "How high?" when the media mob screams, "Jump!"

This quote is direct evidence of that, and it's scary.
