Very little of this is true.You have no idea of the extent of the problem because you havent been testing people. Trumps attempt to manage the markets has made things worse.
You keep repeating the same lie. But its still a lie.
Show me proof that anyone that was prescribed a test didn't have one. You can't.
The chart shows that early on the CDC did the testing but didn't have the capacity for COVID-19. That was non one's fault, COVID-19 was a very fast spreading virus. More testing capacity needed to be added and it was. Currently there is way more testing capacity than is needed so not only prescribed tests, but drive thru tests are available. The "hit rate" on COVID-19 is only about 1%, most of the sick being tested are colds and regular flu, not COVID-19.
Wey has several months warning. The lack of available testing is due to inaction. Testing is being rationed and ordered tests are being collected but not run as it has tasked up to a week to process the new due to backlog. There is no over abundance of testing capacity. Our turnaround time has gone from 24 hours to over 72 hours. That’s a bigger deal than it seems since we are wasting supplies and capacitor to isolate cases far longer than necessary.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
And before you ask, this is all first hand knowledge.
1. I see your words but no links corroborating what you say. Got links?
2. There is CDC testing, hospital lab testing, private lab testing, and public health lab testing. The problems or non-problems are state by state.
3. There will be an abundance of testing capacity by Friday. Roche and Thermo-Fisher are bringing automated testing online this week.
4. I have no bubble, the plot of infections over the next two weeks will tell the tale of success or disaster.
5. Here are a few links to prove my points:
