You’d REALLY think that they’d get their stories straight before opening their yaps. How hard is it to have their staff people make some phone calls and align the messages? Really??!!
Pence is in charge. If the message is muddled, it’s his fault and his responsibility to get the facts straight and get everyone on the same page.
“Is there or is there not a shortage of kits to test for the coronavirus?”
Of course there is. Designing the kits and making milions of them and distributing them all over the country can not happen in a month.
Their stories are straight. The regulations prevented commercial companies from making kits for doc offices. Trump changed that. Now Quest and LabPro are producing like mad. Before tests had to be sent to CDC or state public health lab... they lacked capacity.
With the current ramp up tjis problem has been solved
China was testing with a test that gave a thirty percent false negative. That ain’t useful. The US test is ninety eight percent accurate. That is useful
