...Governors are not as concerned about capacity as through put & availability because of the number of test that need to be done per day / per week in regards to watching how the virus is moving throughout the populous.

There should be some guidance on frequency / amplitude and triggers related SIP measures but they're not going to give any of that because Trump wants us all to die or something.

Now that he's got a bunch of ventilators he's pretending that testing is a new issue raised by the fake press.

He's proof that there is no God. Or if there is, She just don't care.

continually poke at Pres. Obama's "You can keep your doctor...". In the eight years of BHO's presidency, that's the main item they try to hang him with, and don't they love to. Just shows they have nothing else with which to attack that isn't a Republic(an) lie.

Trump suggests that demands for more testing, just like requests for ventilators, are part of a political conspiracy meant to take him down -- not necessary measures to respond to a virus that has killed more than 40,000 Americans

Mon Apr 20, 2020, 06:25 PM

The president has told governors it's their responsibility to get tests. So that's what @GovLarryHogan and Maryland's first lady did — they secured 500,000 tests from South Korea.


trump: "The governor of Maryland didn't really understand. He didn't really understand what was going on" -- Trump begins the April 20 #TrumpPressBriefing by attacking Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, who has been critical of the federal coronavirus response.

And that number will increase, I predict, based on the insane actions of red-state governors to reopen businesses. In Georgia, gyms, massage parlors, hair and nail salons, tattoo establishments and restaurants are set to open in the next two weeks.

Massage parlors, tattoo parlors, and hair and nail salons? I thought that was a bad joke since those are very high-touch, close-contact businesses.
