The Trump administration plans to partner with the private sector to set up drive-through testing sites for coronavirus — one of a series of measures underway Friday to boost U.S. testing availability in the face of heated criticism from lawmakers and frustrated Americans unable to find out whether they are infected.
Officials were scheduled to discuss expanding drive-through testing sites, involving private companies as well as state and local health departments, in a meeting at the White House Friday, according to three individuals familiar with the effort.
Representatives from Walgreens, Walmart and CVS, as well as commercial diagnostic labs and manufactures, were slated to attend, according to a senior administration official involved in the response.
The Trump administration announced the measures a day after receiving a harsh drubbing on Capitol Hill. At one House hearing, Antony Fauci, longtime director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, acknowledged the U.S. testing system is “not really geared to what we need right now … That is a failing. Let’s admit it.”

Total BULLSHIT!! 
He has to be REMOVED!!
... are just another MF45-cum-grifting-cabal incorporated.
NOTHING, nothing, and did I say NOTHING?
That's right. NOTHING out of the mouth of any member of this maladministration is credible. EVAH!
I wonder what it feels like to know that you have murdered people? And all you had to do to accomplish that was ignore all the facts in front of you.
Just think of what they've done. As you wrote, creating this massive chaos by doing nothing. And then sitting back and watching it.
You can tell that Trump feeds off of anything that is twisted. I didn't really look at it that way until I read your words, but it's as plain as day now that I recognize it.
