We are now just beginning to test...
Why were we not testing a month ago? If we had, then containment might have been far more effective.
IMHO we are just at the starting point...
Why were we not testing a month ago?
The original design of the test kits wasn’t usable without special expertise. It had to be redesigned. Prior to that redesign, there were apparently only 12 labs that could effectively use the kits without giving an excessive number of false results.
Add that to Obama-era regulations which required non-CDC labs to get approval before even testing the kits they designed themselves - so not only the market, but even lab cooperation and innovations were effectively blocked.
It further didn’t help that China wouldn’t allow the CDC to go to China, and would not give viral samples to the US.
That’s not true. We’ve been testing for nearly a month...just shortly after Wuhan released their info on the virus. You have to have info to know how to test. Can’t make a test before hand
So you are wrong. We were testing a month ago. It is a matter of where the test could be read that limits the number of tests
You have been reading and believing to much SHTF stories. That and you aren’t even following the actual news from the CDC and the WH
Trump put travel restrictions in place Jan 31. That was a biggie.
