“It came out of Chine so how soon were it possible ID the virus then make a test kit for 320 million people?”

Only needed maybe a 100,000 at the most early on, even 50,000 would have been good. For hospitals, clinics and medical settings, not for everyone in the US.

The idea is to find the hotspots and get them under control, not to test every citizen.

A week or two ago, Pence said there would be 4 million in a week - or two weeks at the most. But the US has it’s hands full just trying to get to 100,000 tests.
