Everyone who needs a test can get a test? We're not undercounting C19 deaths?? ALL BS - Sad

For Julie Murillo, the fight to get her husband tested for COVID-19 lasted twice as long as his battle with the illness itself.Julio Ramirez fell sick March 8 after returning from a trip to Indiana for his job as a sales representative for a jewelry company. Fearing he’d been exposed to the coronavirus, the 43-year-old sought care, but doctors refused to test him on two separate occasions, instead giving him medication and telling him to rest at his San Gabriel home.He died there March 16.Nearly three weeks later, after a campaign by Murillo that included calling government agencies and hiring a private autopsy firm, a team from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health visited the funeral home where Ramirez’s body was being kept. Test results confirmed what Murillo had suspected: Her husband had contracted the coronavirus.Three days after they visited the urgent care, Murillo could not wake Ramirez when she went to check on him. She called 911, and when first responders arrived, they told her he’d been dead for several hours.“From finding my husband to trying to find a pulse on him to dragging him off the bed onto the floor — it’s just a vision that I can’t shake,” she said.“Everything is just a blur, what happened. And when I start getting a clear mind, then I start getting upset that maybe somehow this could have been prevented or he could at least have had a fighting chance.”

A widow believed coronavirus killed her husband. It took weeks to learn the truth

So why wasn't a autopsy done and the test done during the autopsy?
This falls on City and County Officials and if it took her three weeks for the County to act then she need to rip their asses a new one because it is their job to test if a person died and the result could be from Covid-19...
So who do you blame for this?
It was in the cut/paste.. Covid was CONFIRMED post mortem...
Still, this falls on the County Officials, and yet Trump will be blamed...
Gonna be hard in any case "to blame Trump" because the short trip to Research, Design and Approve those test kits took more than a YEAR OFF the normal bureaucratic red tape...
Don't think the failure here is politics.. It's a disconnect between the patient, the wife and his doctors...
That is not how the Op is attempting to spin it and the failure is actually the county officials after the death.
Before the death it would have been the doctor failure but to administer the test after the death ( if a test was available ) would fall on the County Health Department and the coroner's office.
It took her three weeks because of the backlog of cases and the short supply of tests seeing the test is new but this will not stop trying to make this about how Trump failed the woman while not understanding how being tested is not as easy as they believe it is.
We have over three hundred million people in this country and getting the amount of tests needed to test everyone not once but twice because of possible faulty test kits that will give a false reading will take time...
In the end any failure after the death is on the County Officials because the man should have been tested so the community needed to know and be tested...
Nobody is advocating the testing of 330 million people. Spot testing sample areas to the tune of around a million a day for a month along with aggressive contact tracing is required PRONTO if y'all REALLY wanna open everything back up and have the public's confidence.
