Giroir is a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (PHSCC), the federal uniformed service of the Public Health Service, and as ASH, a top adviser to the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).
He is a member of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s White House Coronavirus Task Force and has emerged as the so-called “testing czar.” In that role, Giroir is charged with the logistics of scaling up U.S. efforts to test for coronavirus from about 100,000 when he took over the effort just a few weeks ago to now more than 3 million tests completed as he told Breitbart News on Tuesday.
“We expect that there will be finger-prick tests that can be done in the tens of millions per month,” Giroir said. “The tests will certainly be available and there will be no limiting factors—it really depends on how Dr. Birx and how the task force wants to deploy them. Where do the first 20 million tests go? Where do the first 30 million tests go? But it’s a completely different situation that we’ve seen with this because it’s a finger-prick. It can’t be done at home, but it can be administered at basically any lab and can probably even be administered at pharmacies and nursing homes all across the country. We’ve conducted 3 million tests so far for the virus, which is probably an under-estimate. I would expect the first month of the serologic tests to likely have between 10 million and 20 million done in that first month.”
Giroir added that within the next several months after these serological finger-prick tests are rolled out, as the tens of millions of them per month are distributed, anyone who wants a test will be able to get one nationwide.

This will never end....test..test...test...
The economy will never recover ...the fear will never go away with ..test..test
Who would ever have guessed the Communist Revolution would come disguised as the response to a flu virus?
“the fear will never go away with ..test..test”
It only ends if the deep state can replace President Trump with one of theirs.
On Tucker last night, which I rarely watch but the channel was on when I went to bed he had Dr. Speigler on and they were saying hey, maybe everyone gets these 10-15min tests before they can return to work and all the NO’s can return to work and the yes (exposed, have) have to stay home and go county by county, state by state.
This could take a long time to get to everyone in the nation.
why not go after who made the virus from
bat and pangolin RNA?
why not go after the labs and funders that made
this so they could decimate Americans
and get paid, too?
If they do 30 million tests the denominator will explode and they’ll quickly realize that their original models were crap.
We all stayed home for over 15 plus days and will be more like 30 when all of this is over. And since we did not have contact with anyone, then why should we have to be tested especially if there are no symptoms! Government’s insanity continues! Where are our freedoms!
and WTF will you do about NEXT YEARS NOVEL
coronavirus released by the same criminals ... now ignored?
Obvious flaw with that plan:
You test negative for antibodies.
Thus you can’t return to work.
So you go out and deliberately catch the virus so you can work.
So do a hundred million of your closest friends.
So the logic of a shutdown becomes WHAT, exactly?
“...he had Dr. Speigler on and they were saying hey, maybe everyone gets these 10-15min tests before they can return to work and all the NO’s can return to work and the yes (exposed, have) have to stay home and go county by county, state by state.

Good lord, this is a prime example of the “perfect” (which it is not) being the enemy of the good. It’s NOT going to be done this way.
Do you have a warrant for my blood sample, doctor?
NO SALE!
If they win in November, the virus will be gone the next morning and forgotten entirely by January.
LOL,
It feeds on itself.
Question to you (opinion): some issues are not binary (yes-no, right-wrong, moral-immoral), rather they are on a sliding scale. On the sliding scale of bullshit from 0 - 100% I give this about a 80% BS factor, you?
Surveillance, Testing, Contact Tracing’
How different things would have been if they had instituted that when AIDS first appeared.
Testing is the key to restarting the economy early.
I’ve got a prick for the Admiral....
Your neighbor Karen called and said she was afraid, therefore you must be tested.
