Ya.

That hospital lost 100 employees/etc for 2 weeks.

Wonder how many of that number are because CDC refused to test when the doc/hospital wanted to test.

HERE’S AN ARTICLE REGARDING CURRENT SOLUTION TO TESTING:

But the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration informed state officials late Wednesday that the agencies have resolved the problem with the test kits.

“The FDA has authorized the use of those tests by using just the first and second step to provide a definitive diagnostic,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said during a congressional hearing Thursday.

Forty labs — local and state public health labs as well as select department of defense labs — across the U.S. are already authorized to start using the modified test, and all 93 labs should be able to start testing by next week, Azar said.
