Containment is impossible without testing, and they dropped the ball on that big time.

It's not just about barring the doors. In our global, interrelated world, you have to assume it is ALREADY in the house.

Tracing and quarantine are essential, but detection seems to me to be the number one priority. And that means widespread surveillance testing.

The whole CDC testing debacle needs a closer look.

Seemingly inexplicably, the CDC decided to disregard protocols being used elsewhere and develop "their own" test.

Deleted erroneous information that CDC test was based on Randox biochip tech
