Question: Why can't we get them here?

Because everyone in the US would feel entitled to have a test, with demand overloading the supply. Can you imagine what Hollywood is going to be like if (when) these tests are readily available? Not only would they *demand* the tests, they would publicize the results on social media.

Now, why aren't the tests available for those critical need situations here in the US? That would be a better question.

Because we have a very powerful regulatory agency with enforcement powers called the FDA.
