Where Are The Tests?

Submitted by ub on

A diagnostic test is a procedure performed to confirm or determine the presence of disease in an individual suspected of having symptoms or based on other medical test results. This includes a posthumous diagnosis.

So far, there are more than 67K confirmed cases and over 33K deaths, therefore by now, everyone knows that Trump and Pence let a critical period between late January and early March to slip away without any mass COVID19 testing, thereby allowing the best opportunity to contain the virus. https://cimages.me/content/us-wasted-months

As POTUS inside The White House, Tweets that "The States have to step up their TESTING!" Governors need the millions of test kits that were promised would be available by the end of March. - WHERE ARE THOSE TESTS?

It appears that these scarce tests that are in coronavirus hotspots are being saved for health-care workers and people sick enough to be hospitalized, meaning that many with mild or no symptoms can transmit the disease to others without even knowing they have contracted the disease.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health told the House Oversight Committee on March 12 that the United States’ current system for coronavirus testing is “a failing.”

Since then, the United States has skyrocketed to an unenviable first place in the world tally, with the most coronavirus cases on earth.

American taxpayers need to hold President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence accountable because the two have said repeatedly, for weeks: that millions of tests have already been distributed throughout the country.

The premature re-open debate is nonsense thanks to POTUS and VP, and there are no guarantees all businesses will re-open if given green light by their Governors because these companies do not want to be liable for employees getting sick and spreading it on the job and elsewhere.

If there is one thing that American taxpayers are learning the hard way is to be skeptical of what POTUS and his VP keep saying.
Where are all the tests promised? Are they in Washington, DC, or in Moscow, Russia, Beijing, China, North Korea, or elsewhere?
