19 people tested. 19. WTF. This is unbelievable.
People are furious with the CDC and by extension, the President. He needs to clean house
A lot of states are like that—only 12 here in CT.
Testing Limitations May Conceal Coronavirus Spread In Oregon
Right now, the Oregon Health Authority is limiting testing to patients who have severe pneumonia requiring hospitalization and to people who have had contact with confirmed coronavirus cases. They just don’t have enough tests to check everyone. That means, until more testing happens, there’s no real way of knowing how far the disease has spread in Oregon.

Comment: the FDA has relaxed regulations making it possible for health agencies and private entities to use their own tests. They just get confirmed through the CDC, so I don’t know why states aren’t taking advantage of that.
