Pence talked a good bit about getting the production for the cartridges for this test up and out there at the end of yesterday’s briefing.

Spend Billion$ on testing not Trillion$ on the Green New Deal.

“Machine $4500.00 Cartridges.....$50 a crack.”

That is way less than I would have guessed.

The machines have huge capability. The cartridges are ramping up YUGE.

VP Pence doesn’t mess around. He was a Governor and it shows.

President Trump fights out front. Pence makes sure people deliver and execute.

I first heard about it here. I checked the other day - I posted in an HCQ thread here before Trump talked about it, and I don’t watch Tucker, except the odd YouTube clip.

Doesn’t matter how many machines if people don’t yet have cartridges to run the tests.

I read the other day that the initial cartridge shipment was 120 per machine.

120 whole cartridges.

This is eerily shaping up to be just like the nasal swab testing..sent out a bunch of swabs but not enough re-agents to actually DO the tests..

You can go about 6 minutes before the end of yesterday’s briefing, and Pence and then Brix talk about testing. Pence said Abbot is making 50,000 cartridges a day (which is only 2.5/machine-day) and that the government is talking to others about making them. They seem to be really working on getting testing numbers up, and I expect that to rise significantly, quickly. They understand the need to be able to do lots of testing to support contact tracing.

Yep, he’s one of the few commentators who actually discusses the news. Obviously on the left it’s just ORANGE MAN BAD, but I’ve got some criticism of right of center media who lately has just been “OMG can you believe CNN/MSNBC said this?!” Look I figured out a long time ago that those networks were full of it, don’t need a reminder lol. It’s not like the press is this super credible organization that needs to be taken down a notch; just look at any poll on how in the mud they are. I think the future for our media is pushing our own positive message forward, like hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus and likewise for other solutions for future problems.
