The CDC started shipping test kits the same week.
Ok, they shipped kits from the CDC that same week. Those tests were flawed, right?
They still had access to the tests from the WHO but they decided to create their own. Even though they had limited production capacity, as you said. This then led to a lapse in time that tests were not available.
Are you the only one that knew they had limited production capacity, or should they have known that as well?
You’re making things up now wholesale. You have no idea how many test kits the WHO had available to ship us when it was determined the original run by the CDC was flawed.
Sure, begin with the thread I started on the topic a week or so back.

Did you intentionally mean to remind everyone of this?
I find it interesting that trump is pushing for his payroll tax till the election. He says he wants an economic shot in the arm. Did republicans actually finally realize that it’s the working man who drives the economy?
Of course I did, I’ve got no problem with the truth at all.

I chalk this up to unreasonable expectations. It’s a problem of scale and the CDC has limited production capabilities.
Understand fear and frustration but we’ve sent much of our industrial production to China over the last thirty years including an alarming amount of our Bio/Medical/Pharmaceutical production.
Review my thread from a few days ago on the national security reasons for bringing industrial jobs back to the US. This is a perfect example of where that critical industrial capacity is lacking.
This is all magnified by the fact the virus wasn’t even identified and typed until January. We had test kits in production within three weeks but with limited capacity there’s only so many that can be produced quickly.

Why are we growing the deficit with this stimulus?
im expecting the NCAA bball tournament to either be played without fans attending or cancelled altogether
To avoid an economic panic which would increase the deficit far more.
You’re making things up now wholesale. You have no idea how many test kits the WHO had available to ship us when it was determined the original run by the CDC was flawed.
Speaking of making things up wholesale.
Where in your article does it state that WHO had 250,000 tests available on Feb 4? Where in that article does it state that this was their entire supply at the time?
I’m not making anything up, that’s how many they announced they had to ship out.
The WHO doesn’t have unlimited capacity either and they have to provide for nations that lack the capacity altogether.
Their test kits started going out at approximately the same time ours did.
WHO to Ship 250,000 Coronavirus Test Kits as Human-to-Human Cases Rise
As of Feb 4 they only had a quarter million test kits available to be shipped globally.
Your article doesn’t claim what you state it claims.
Why are we growing the deficit with this stimulus?
Because I think its gonna kill his presidency and possibly the senate
That’s what they announced they had ready to ship, get over it.
They had test kits from The WHO, according to your epoch times article.
Why weren’t they used
We don’t know that they weren’t.
To avoid an economic panic which would increase the deficit far more.
So deficit spending is cool if it prevents a deepening recession?
According to politico and Sen Murray they weren’t.
Do you have any information to the contrary?
