Still not enough tests, even if you're a Dem member of congress??



Geoff Bennett ✔@GeoffRBennett

This week, I asked @SecAzar when coronavirus tests would be widely available.

He said there was a "false premise" in my question, adding: "The tests are in every public health lab in the country."

But not enough, it seems, for a member of Congress in self-quarantine to get one


Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner

People ask “did @RepDonBeyer get tested for COVID-19?” No he did not.

We tried to get a test for him, not bc he is special, but bc of who he interacts with. Thought it important to know ASAP.

But there aren’t enough tests, he didn’t meet the risk threshold. Member of Congress.
