Where. are. the. fucking. tests?

[Baltimike]

I honestly think our president wants america weak, and unable to survive a biological attack.

1. It sure looks that way.

Buy why ...

[jimfields33]

2. Florida has them.

We even have drive up places that test. What state are you in?

[stillcool]

6. I think every state has some...just not enough

they are limiting testing to those who meet a certain criteria. I don't see how Florida is any different, but maybe you know something?

Where to find drive-thru coronavirus testing sites in South Florida

Testing at mobile coronavirus sites will be limited to individuals who meet the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which have been broadened as the virus has spread:

Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions who have fever, cough or any type of respiratory distress.
Any people — including healthcare workers — who within 14 days of symptom onset had contact with a suspected or confirmed coronavirus patient.
Any people with history of travel from an affected area or an area with community spread.
*******************************************
Many of the drive-thru test sites are available by appointment only, and all sites depend on the availability of test kits.

7. It's the same

But last thing is we get a bunch of people showing up who don’t need the test. I mean these are the same people stocking up on toilet paper. They’d be in line for the test no doubt.

3. I think private companies like quest and labcorp

Have it. It has been ramped up big time. New York for example tests many thousands every day. The feds however are still lacking.

4. Don't bother looking for them in Arizona.

They sure as hell aren't here yet.

5. Honestly we are past the point of containment via testing.

We need as many tests as can be produced as quickly as possible all the same but we probably need to go straight to the ventilators and emergency hospital staging areas. Those 60k tests he was going to use the DPA on yesterday is a fucking insult to the entire nation.

9. NO!!, the point with testing is not to contain but to eliminate like Wuhan. We can just do what

... they did and we're beyond this but Trump doesn't want the numbers to go up

[Afromania]

10. I think we agree here

I think we need many more tests than what his stupid ass wants to have produced and that the numbers he's suggesting would have been enough to pinpoint things two months ago, maybe. He needs to be using the DPA to get started on the Ventilators because it will take longer to get them done and requires a heavier lift.

I'd love to have both being done but I dont trust that fuck to get any of this right. At least with the tests the states can produce them and others outside the US are producing them and will probably help. This is all such a fucking mess and I honestly don't trust that he'll do anything at all.
