Way pass due to bring US Infrastructure back;

Why didn’t we have the tests? What Never Trumpers sabotaged this?

[oldasrocks]

Pretty strange that other countries have these kits stockpiled when we have none of our own. Did they know something we didn’t?

[griswold3]

Are these FDA approved tests?

[LongWayHome]

You close over sixty thousand factories & hand your supply-chain to China and you no longer make anything, well, it’s no surprise we have nothing here.

Turkey is the same rag country which destroyed Greece’s border so asylum seekers can flood the country. Funny they want to help us now. Im sure Trump is thinking the same thing.

[Nifster]

It’s Turkey. I trust nothing they say

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[frank ballenger]

Maybe we can beg for food packages from Namibia, Congo and Madagascar. /s

[Deaf Smith]

Got a Tracking Number?

[FreedomPoster]

What the heck have CDC/FDA/XYZ been doing in the 10+ years since H1N1 with their multi-$billion budgets? On the back side of this event, we need a serious Congressional inquiry.

The story doesn’t say that
It is a claim made by a Turkish official at the same time explaining how they are ramping up testing in Turkey

Sounds like he’s trying to keep the crowds from going crazy

[Billthedrill]

The bad news is that each one will be personally delivered by a Syrian “refugee”...

[House Atreides]

BULL CRAP! The Turks lie almost as much as the ChiComs!

[mass55th]

Thanks, but no thanks.

Indeed

LabCorp and Quest are quite capable of producing tests

[2111USMC]

Yep. This article is being published all over the net. Problem is that they are all the same source. Reuters.

Assuming it’s true (unlikely), they would be the test that WHO distributed to developing and undeveloped nations that don’t have the infrastructure to make their own.

Notice Reuters didn’t ask the CDC or the White House for comment or confirmation. Nope, they just drop their turd and run.

Meanwhile, turkish officials continue to make stuff up to cover their asses.

I woul not trust anything coming from Turkey...
