110 suspected cases of Coronavirus in US but only CDC has testing kits and hospitals have to request the kits which has led to a delay in testing

Typical gov’t bungling of this very important matter. Pres Trump you need to take control of this asap.
“...ut only CDC has testing kits and hospitals have to request the kits...”
~~~
Well yeah.
That sounds about right.
Were they supposed to be distributed to all Walgreens or something?
A negative means nothing. You can be positive later.
Negative after 14 days quarantine might mean something
“Were they supposed to be distributed to all Walgreens or something?”
Really? 10 days now we have had confirmed Coronavirus in the US-the CDC should have been sending these out to every major hospital a week ago or setting up a program for expediated testing long ago.
Someone is really dropping the ball.
*** only CDC has testing kits and hospitals have to request the kits which has led to a delay in testing. ***
I figure just like the disappeared trillions in the Pentagon, a bunch of the testing kits will disappear, too.
TBH, if I had access to the “kits”, would I ship them to a hospital in DC, NY, LA, or squirrel away some for my family, and friends?
Depends on how many of the kits they have. It’s hard to widely spread a short supply
... or part of the Soros-CDC plan.
just like Ebola.
I don’t think they’ve had testing kits that long. It’s a new strain.
I don’t actually know this.
It’s the CDC’s job to keep up on all the new pathogens. But They’re saying it could be 6 months before they can start testing a vaccine. It’s just too new
Talk about not being prepared for an emergency. This bottleneck in the system is ridiculous.
Do you expected to end up a dud like Ebola in the US? I’m beginning not to.
and how can you compare a disease that can’t beat transmitted by air to one that can?
Just asking. Maybe you can :-) I don’t know much about diseases
Once again it’s the Daily Mail telling us this - not the U.S. media.
“I don’t think they’ve had testing kits that long. It’s a new strain.”
The Chinese have them in their hospitals.
This is typical gov’t bungling
“Once again it’s the Daily Mail telling us this - not the U.S. media.”
Always
The reason is the “data”. The CDC wants the data. They are smarter than everyone else, nobody gets tested without them doing the test. It’s what bureaucracy does, self preservation ...
Trump better get on this.
They’re going to ‘Katrina’ him with this if we have an epidemic of this. Even a limited one with just 3 or 4 deaths will be non stop news cycle for days...blaming Trump for being asleep at the switch.
If Trump let’s this get out of control here I might be for impeaching him. He should have already shut down international plane travel.
I’d think you’d prioritize sending them to large cities with a lot of Chinese nationals.
But that might make too much sense.
