early action in northern california saved tons of american lives. and now, with the epidemiological work they keep doing, we know the earliest cases we have in this country were even earlier than we previously knew. had there been tests, had that been the one thing the trump administration did, even with the labbradoodle guy in charge of firing the vaccine guy and being scared of the lady at the cdc who tells too much of the truth, had they just gotten testing done, had alex azar and the trump administration not been lying when they said testing was fine, we could have acted weeks earlier. at least in the best-run parts of the country, they would have acted weeks earlier. and there wouldn't be going on a,000 americans dead. by the end of this week. simple as that. that's why there's the body bags on the threshold of the trump hotel today. that's why they're there. >>> dr. sara cody joins us next. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. ♪[ siren ] & doug give me your hand! i can
