>>Oh and where are those magical 50 million test kits you were talking about the other day? Still none. You still buying the Trump land Pence lies?

Surgeon General Jerome Adams today:

"Important for people to know that the CDC stood up a test in less than one week for a new virus, so that was a record, but the CDC was never designed to provide hundreds of millions of tests. It was designed to respond to outbreaks. So, we went from CDC testing, which was slow by almost design, and then we actually stood up 83 different state labs, and you saw testing increase there. But the turning point was last Thursday when the FDA approved a new rapid throughput test, which will exponentially increase the amount of new tests that can be run. … You’re starting to see more testing at the local level.”

"Again, we’ve reached a turning point, and it’s because of the private industry."

Take away points: CDC produced a test in record time - but CDC != designed to provide hundreds of millions of tests as critics are demanding of it. Instead, FDA (also in record time) has approved a rapid throughput test that will allow the US to emulate South Korean testing, thanks to private industry.

Hopefully those quick to attack and blame, will be equally quick to swing in behind these officials and clinicians getting things done in record time and who don't deserve to be constantly under partisan political attack.

BTW, today a US volunteer got the first dose of a potential COVID-9 vaccine in a Kaiser trial. Others will be quick to follow. Fauci had predicted 12-18 months to get a vaccine; lets see how it plays out. Assuming one or more of the trials is a success, of course.
