Twitter users are blasting Donald Trump's flowchart presented at Friday's press conference comparing it to a child's class project and rewriting the words to say 'We have no idea what we're doing.' At the White House press conference coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx presented a chart that shows options for testing for Americans across the nation. The show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee shared a photo of the moment the poster board was presented, but cleared the words from it, inviting clever social media users replace the flow chart with their best jokes. Some replaced the words to say, 'The man to my left has COVID-19' and 'He touched us please send help'.
