The Atlantic: We Need 1 Million Test ... *** PER WEEK ***

We Need 1 Million Tests a Week


https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/we-need-1-million-tests-week/609154/

Although President Trump claimed yesterday that coronavirus testing is no longer a problem, the fact is that the U.S. is still not testing enough. A recent report from the American Enterprise Institute estimates, based on peak demand of past flu seasons, that we need to conduct at least 750,000 tests a week, and this may be a conservative suggestion. Other groups estimate that we need to test more than 1 million people a week. At the moment we’re testing less than half as many people, and not necessarily where the need is greatest.


Yep, I've been hollering as loud as I can that S Korea is no longer in total lock down and their economy isn't broken because THEY DID TESTING

Call your representative GET US SOME TESTING !!
