We are talking about less than a 100 people, and you are rambling about millions. Get a grip and make some sense.
Yes, we should have the ability to test 10s of thousands already.
Why would you sit on your hands and have to catch up. That is not a good plan.
Correction, “test kits”. See the first paragraph.

You said the hospital was the reason, it was the opposite, the hospital requested the testing and the CDC denied it.
Of course I am saying the CDC protocol was terrible…

Are they? r are they covering their own asses?
They had already produced hundreds of test kits early in January.
Again, some of them were faulty, adjustments made in production, the original kits had to be replaced, and more produced.
so much for typing faster and better than people can think.

I said they were following CDC protocol.
“the patient did not fit the existing CDC criteria.”
I’ve never claimed to be perfect, go bother someone else.

This is not something that simply should be excused.
And you are trying to pretend that we are going to handle this better than other countries. The first indications are the opposite of that…
You can’t change humans, by nature mistakes will be made.
So far we are handling it better than a lot of other countries as evidenced by the number of cases and only 2 deaths so far.
" i can read faster then you can type and type faster then you can think"

Well since there is only 8 reported cases and 2 deaths…were batting 25 percent kill ratio.
seems like it and one must wonder why.
its rare we have the same opinion on certain topics…that itself should worry people

From Trump to Evergreen hospital and everything in between is one major ■■■■ up.
Confirmed cases.
That you have a high death rate among elderly patients already in poor health is not surprising.

Still…its 25 percent death rate.
are you familiar with the Swiss Cheese Model?
