Governors across the country on Sunday pushed back on the Trump administration's claims that states are conducting a "sufficient" level of coronavirus testing.

Speaking with CNN's "State of the Union," Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, said it was "delusional" to suggest the states have enough tests to soon begin reopening their economies.

"That's just delusional to be making statements like that," Northam said. "We have been fighting every day for PPE. And we have got some supplies now coming in. We have been fighting for testing. It's not a — it's not a straightforward test. We don't even have enough swabs, believe it or not. And we're ramping that up. But for the national level say that we have what we need, and really to have no guidance to the state levels, is just irresponsible, because we're not there yet."

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told CNN that the "lack of testing" is "probably the number one problem in America, and has been from the beginning of this crisis."

because it will identify WHO'S doing the spreading even though they AREN'T feeling sick, duh!!!

Fortunately, quick, simple, cost-effective, FDA-approved mass testing is now available:

That’s 0.01% of the total population.

This is NOT sufficient!

Bad thing to say, Gov. Northam -- you just gave FEMA the target for its next "grab-and-go" raid. Might as well just drop the stuff on the WH steps.

Also, I haven't heard anything from Republican Senators and Representatives, other than the usual head-up-rectum Trump cheerleaders.
