From your links:You're a liar.I was going to write that I can't believe you believe such an obvious lie, but I've grown accustomed to you being a liar.There are plenty of test kits being managed by the states. I have not heard of a single case where a doctor ordered a test and it wasn't done.
States all have local labs that can do adequate testing until the manufactured commercially manufactured test kits are available.
I have not heard of any states say we need tests and can't do them. Even Cuomo in NY says that the state s doing hundreds of tests:
New York governor declares state of emergency over coronavirus
The majority of the confirmed cases, 57, continue to be in Westchester County, with 11 cases in New York City and the rest spread across Nassau, Rockland and Saratoga counties.
New York has commissioned "hundreds" of tests for coronavirus and plans to push for many more, Cuomo said.
"I would test as many people as you can test because you want to know," he said.
New York had previously reported 44 cases of coronavirus as of Friday, and dozens of people have been under mandatory quarantine, instead of self-isolation, as a precaution, officials have said.
"There's no doubt that massive quarantine is the best way to slow the spread," Cuomo said Saturday.

INSKEEP: There's been so much concern about a shortage of test kits. What's happening there?
AUBREY: Well, some academic hospitals are developing their own tests. And commercial options are expanding really quickly. Quest Diagnostics says it will launch a coronavirus test on Monday. The company says it will be in a position to receive samples from hospitals, physician offices. And another big company, LabCorp, says it now has a test available that can be ordered by doctors, other health care providers. Now, results can take three or four days. Positive results will be reported to local health officials and to the CDC.
