Do we know WHO denied the tests?

[underpants]

I've heard "someone somewhere" denied tests that were available but we declined.

Do we know at what level and where that happened?

1. Someone Somewhere is David Dennison's alias

aka John Barron.

2. UN/WHO test available trDump declined....

Why the United States declined to use the WHO test, even temporarily as a bridge until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could produce its own test, remains a perplexing question and the key to the Trump administration’s failure to provide enough tests to identify the coronavirus infections before they could be passed on, according to POLITICO interviews with dozens of viral-disease experts, former officials and some officials within the administration’s health agencies.

3. Here is a link to an article

Excerpt: Let’s guess why this happened, and let’s leave aside for the moment that Jared Kushner’s brother runs a company that’s involved in testing, because that should not be any kind of surprise.

4. My guess that the decision came from The Donald

One of his minions went to him and said "WHO will include us in the test delivery." And, sensing a profit making opportunity and a massive and stupid ego (Only I Can Fix It!) he blew the person off and said Nah we don't need no stinkin' WHO tests. Or something.

This just sounds like him - stupid and dismissive.
