Trump lectures states and local governments to step up coronavirus testing --

— after he took forever to get them the kits

Published 2 mins ago on March 15, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris

President Donald Trump tried lecturing states and localities on how they need to step up their efforts at testing Americans for the coronavirus.

“The individual Governors of States, and local officials, must step up their efforts on drive up testing and testing sights, working in conjunction with @CDCgov and the Federal Government!” Trump tweeted.

Governors and mayors have been begging for test kits for months. It’s day 46 since the coronavirus was first discovered on American shores, and for weeks people have been desperately searching for ways to get tested. At first, the test kits were somehow flawed and had to be redone. The second round of test kits had 50 percent that were contaminated. Finally, test kits are being sent out, and Vice President Mike Pence announced in a press conference Sunday that 1.9 million kits would be going out this week.

“I continue to reinforce the tests are not complete, kits all do not include re-agents, chemicals, solutions that are components,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said, noting that it was “imperative” that labs have access to “all ingredients that are components of the test.”
