Superbug expert calls lack of coronavirus tests a 'national scandal'

McCarthy, who practices at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, expects the number of cases in the U.S. to increase quickly in the next couple of weeks, but he said hospitals are "hamstrung" because they don't have access to the diagnostic test kits they need. In contrast, he said, other countries are making it look easy.

"They are testing 10,000 a day in some countries, and we can't get this off the ground," McCarthy said. Tim O'Donnell

Doctors are bracing for a rapid rise in U.S. coronavirus cases this week as state and local public health labs ramp up testing following weeks of delays due to a flawed test by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Coronavirus, CDC testing: Flawed kits slowed results, US cases to rise


I'd be careful in Seattle. My friend has it. Took a cruise in asia. Came back about a month ago to Seattle before anyone hardly knew about the virus and went on with his daily life, work, etc. No symptoms.......until two days ago. Got tested and has it. Asymptomatic for almost a month.
Asymptomatic is another word for not sick.

Yeah, he had no symptoms, was not sick and then started coughing with fever after 27 days. I think the biggest problem with this virus is the incubation stage.

We have lots of flu strains floating around. People are not sick until they are.

You are wrong.
Most of the "test" you are talking about in "foreign countries" are not good tests. A significant number of them report both false positives, and false negatives. They are essentially worthless.
Just today the Purdue university labs have hopefully perfected the test and has high hopes it will be a GOOD test.
SO stop spreading propaganda by the left.

How are defective test kits Trump’s fault?
Budget and personnel cuts.
but he didn't do that, so factually you're wrong. go fking figure. It's now been pointed out on every news station that error. and yet here you are pushing the fake news story. BTW, the kits came from China. China had them. you know why China had them? they had the virus. derp

Oh I agree. Im not concerned with this virus. The people with compromised immune systems and smokers should take precautions though. It seems to be seriously affecting them.

Lies.
Nope. Facts.

It's ok though, I know you tRumplings can't tell the difference.
nope, you're factually in error. we understand your hate though and get it. but factually it's been corrected on all the news channels now. you should pay attention to one of them. it's called the infectious disease department and actually, funds were increased. but hey fkker, why would you care, you only want to see americans die.

Another hit and a miss by Bonehead80:

I don't know where you get your crap from, but we'll be ablde to test 10,000 people a day by the end of this week, 20,000 by the end of next week. And that comes straight from the experts, not someone hair-brain website of yours.​

no, no he didn't. just fake news. it was all explained yesterday on the news stations. infectious disease department got an increase in funding. sorry, you remain factually incorrect. Cuts were made to administration roles. You're merely another dishonest person attempting to use a virus as a political weapon. go fking figure.

Other countries are already testing ten thousand people a day. The US is far, far behind.

The truth is that Trump designed at set it into motion to stop the 2020 elections by creating a virus so diabolical that people won't be able to go out and vote in November. Great plan for Trump, how did you figure it out?
