Who assumed THAT?
Someone who lives in NYC and has never been west of the Hudson?
Big country. Very big country. Really very big country. With lots of people.
Does this person think that we stockpile 400 million tests for every virus that may pop up?
There are over 300 deadly viruses out there that we know about and something that is not deadly (coronavirus) can morph into something that IS deadly like the Wuhan-400.
That would be 120 Billion test kits they would need to have in stock. And test kits generally have a short shelf life. Where would they keep them? How would they dispose of the expired ones. Who would....?
Oh never mind.
Just take it as read that no one with more then two brain cells had the stupid delusion that the government could test all of us in event of a pandemic.
OK, it’s true - most thinking, logical, and highly alert people did not assume this.
But your average person made this assumption. And many assumed that within 1-2 months our government could gear up properly.
This has proven not exactly true. It has frustrated Fauci and the other professionals. So let’s not pretend it isn’t a legitimate failing.
