Does anyone know if there are "millions of beautiful tests" for the Trump Virus now?

The Trump Virus relates to several virulent things, but it is the phrase that I am now using for COVID-19, since Trump himself is directly responsible for its spread in the US by his utter failure to act.

Speaking of which, does anyone know the REAL status of the "millions" of Trump Virus tests (Trump actually called them "beautiful tests" ) that have been promised for weeks? Are they actually on the ground throughout the US in hospitals and doctors' offices?

and will begin distribution before the end of the month.

The good thing, they said, is that the federal government has streamlined the approval process and are expediting everything in record time. At least some small functions of the feds are trying to hold on to their sense of responsibility and to do their duty.

This was why it was so important Trump take advantage of the existing WHO test. But then, that would have required a level of minimum competence we know is beyond his reach and that his tiny hands could never grasp.

Instead, she answered with a blizzard of bullshit.
