Donald Trump Wanted Testing In USA To Be Slowed Down

US president Donald Trump said that he wanted COVID-19 testing to be slowed in the country and called it a "double-edged sword" at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday. "Here's the bad part ... when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people; you're going to find more cases. So I said to my people, slow the testing down please," Trump said. However, a White House official told CNN that Trump was "obviously kidding".

According to the John's Hopkins University, the USA has a reported 22,55,119 total COVID-19 cases with 1,19,719 deaths.
