Once the kits are available, the infected counts will skyrocket, and the press will be on overdrive.
The press (shills for the leftofascists) would like nothing better for this country to be put on lockdown/shutdown for the next three months and plunged into a Depression.
Reasons should be obvious.
And not just the press. I bet the test kits cannot separate contagious patients from previously infected but no-longer-contagious patients, or genuinely sick patients from those who will recover without professional care. If I am right, there will be a lot of this: "I tested positive! I'm gonna die unless you put me in the hospital right now!"
