Bob, The news media is reporting extensively on the coronavirus testing and supply bottlenecks. I think the feds need to follow up Trump's address today with more action and clarity on these issues... Many private labs want to do coronavirus tests. But they're still facing obstacles and delays. nbcnews.com ‘We're behind the curve’: U.S. hospitals confront the challenges of large-scale coronavirus testing sciencemag.org Nurses Worried They Have The Coronavirus Are Waiting A Week For Test Results buzzfeednews.com Drive-through coronavirus testing arrives in Bay Area, but supplies remain tight sfchronicle.com Shortage of crucial chemicals creates new obstacle to U.S. coronavirus testing statnews.com Not Enough Face Masks Are Made In America To Deal With Coronavirus npr.org The Global Mask Shortage May Get Much Worse bloomberg.com

So you claim you don't know how a throat and nasal swab can be tested for the COVID-19 virus. You may want to seek treatment for your mental illness. . The attorney who exposed many at CPAC to his COVID-19 infected had tried repeatedly to get tested for COVID-19, but he ran into a combination of people pig-ignorant as you are and Trump's refusal to make test kits available. Only testing and contact tracing can stop this epidemic in its tracks. Continuing to pretend you don't know what a test is for a pathogen will seriously damage our economy. Your attempt at Trump-style stupidity is not amusing.

This is why the COVID-19 virus is spreading out of control in the US — just like it did in Italy - rather than being wiped-out as in South Korea. Dr Tony Faucci says, "The idea of anyone getting access to a COVID-19 test easily, they way people in other countries are doing it - we're not set up for that. Do I think we should be? YES. But we're not." Trump could sign an Executive Order making this possible. But unfortunately I hear Donald has a bone spur in his signing hand.
