Sick People Across the U.S. Say They Are Being Denied the Coronavirus Test
Sick People Across the U.S. Say They Are Being Denied the Coronavirus Test

BOSTON — First came the tickle in the throat. Then, a hacking cough. Then, a shortness of breath she had never experienced before. Hillary King, a 32-year-old consultant in Boston who lives down the street from a hotel where dozens of Biogen executives contracted the new coronavirus, decided that she had better get tested.

But getting tested is far easier said than done, even as testing slowly ramps up nationwide. Five days after President Trump announced that anyone who wants a test can get a test, Ms. King’s experience shows how difficult it can be in the United States to find out if you have the coronavirus.

Many who fear they have the virus have faced one roadblock after another as they try to get tested, according to interviews with dozens of people across the country.

Some have been rejected because they had no symptoms, even though they had been in proximity to someone who tested positive. Others were told no because they had not traveled to a hot spot abroad, even though they had fevers and hacking coughs and lived in cities with growing outbreaks. Still others were told a bitter truth: There simply were not enough tests to go around.
More fear mongering..................the slow BS start of Atlanta slowed the test kits.........public labs are getting involved and the test kits are getting out better now..........

DENIED ............well yeah if te test kits aren't available...........DUH
 
A small company in S. Korea does better than our CDC...........and OH........THAT'S TRUMP'S FAULT............LOL
I'm afraid it's his responsibility to have made sure there were an adequate number of accurate test kits available. It comes with the job of leading the government response. He was too busy sending out mean tweets, going to rallies, and playing golf when he should have been directing his subordinates to ensure we were ready for the inevitable outbreak. He just plain failed to fulfill his responsibility.

No it is his responsibility to FIRE those working for the Gov't who didn't do their job.............People who have been feeding on the tax payers tits for a very long time...............When it was time for them to EARN THEIR PAY..........THEY FELL RIGHT ON THEIR FACES........

They had the funding necessary..........some of the best labs in the world..........and they sent out BS

But of course you can't see that with your TDS on.

Use common sense............the virus sweep across S Korea..........and they had the best testing available in the world..........later that payed off with slowing it........

These are FEAR MONGERING ARTICLES...........NOW........WHEN SHALL WE FIRE THOSE who screwed the Hell up.

And then find people who might have a CURE FOR TDS..........You need it.

Why the United States declined to use the WHO test, even temporarily as a bridge until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could produce its own test, remains a perplexing question and the key to the Trump administration’s failure to provide enough tests to identify the coronavirus infections before they could be passed on, according to POLITICO interviews with dozens of viral-disease experts, former officials and some officials within the administration’s health agencies.

The slowness of the testing regimen — which, administration officials acknowledged this week, is still not producing enough tests to meet the national demand — was the first, and most sweeping, of many failures. So far there have been confirmed cases in at least 23 states, and at least 15 deaths, while the stock market plunged and an otherwise healthy economy braced for a major disruption.

But neither the CDC nor the coronavirus task force chaired by Vice President Mike Pence would say who made the decision to forgo the WHO test and instead begin a protracted process of producing an American test, one that got delayed by manufacturing problems, possible lab contamination and logistical delays.

Spin baby.......early on every country on earth was scrambling for test kits........

Where is this MAGIC LAND that had VAST NUMBERS OF TEST KITS..............Is it up the Bean Stalk with the Giant.........and where are the magic beans we need to plant...........

The Trump administration announced a series of steps Friday aimed at boosting the availability of coronavirus testing, which has drawn heated criticism from lawmakers of both parties and frustrated Americans who are sick and have been unable to find out whether they are infected.

The Food and Drug Administration has created a 24-hour emergency hotline for laboratories having difficulty getting materials or finding other impediments to running tests, according to announcements early on Friday.

Officials also announced they were giving nearly $1.3 million in federal money to two companies trying to develop rapid covid-19 tests that could determine whether a person tests positive within an hour.

In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services assigned Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for health, to coordinate all covid-19 testing efforts among federal public health agencies, including the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local health departments, and public and private clinical laboratories. The FDA also is giving New York state the ability to authorize certain public and private labs to test for the virus under the aegis of the state health department, without first getting federal approval.

Earlier this week, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) announced he was moving ahead to contract with 28 private labs in New York. “We’re not in a position where we can rely on the CDC or the FDA to manage this testing protocol,” the governor said.

Cuomo said that he told the private labs they should “get up, get running and start moving forward with testing.”

The state’s Health Department has a preexisting relationship with these labs, which Cuomo says has the experience with virology to get the testing done.

The Trump administration announced these and other testing-related measures a day after a particularly harsh drubbing of federal health officials at a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill. At one House hearing, Antony Fauci, longtime director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, acknowledged that the system for testing Americans for coronavirus is “not really geared to what we need right now … That is a failing. Let’s admit it.”

Where was this effort to ramp up production 2 months ago when health experts were warning the virus would spread here?

The New York Times

DEC. 31

Chinese authorities treated dozens of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause.
On Dec. 31, the government in Wuhan, China, confirmed that health authorities were treating dozens of cases. Days later, researchers in China identified a new virus that had infected dozens of people in Asia. At the time, there was no evidence that the virus was readily spread by humans. Health officials in China said they were monitoring it to prevent the outbreak from developing into something more severe.

JAN. 11

China reported its first death.
On Jan. 11, Chinese state media reported the first known death from an illness caused by the virus, which had infected dozens of people. The 61-year-old man who died was a regular customer at the market in Wuhan, where the illness is thought to have originated, and he had previously been found to have abdominal tumors and chronic liver disease. The report of his death came just before one of China’s biggest holidays, when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country.


2 months ago would only be the start.........and via our OPERATING PROCEDURES the CDC is the leading authority in the United States for these situations.......And they said they could handle it...........Yet they failed to get the kits................

And NOW ........THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS HAVING TO SAVE THE DAY.......As always...........the only thing your article PROVES is THAT OUR GOV'T IS COSTLY AND INEFFECTIVE..........

More reason to use the Private Sector.
 
Then why do you never tell the truth?
It's not like he's some bloody tRumpling.

He's a Democrat.

Most of what he says is the truth.

I doubt he is even capable of telling what's true and what's not. All his life he has moved with the free shit herd, not caring about anything else than getting the next fix from his communist masters.

Let me sum up his testimony.......................Our Labs are the best in the world........we have the best people.............and they SCREWED THE HELL UP..........

GIVE ME MORE MONEY.............The END.

When Dr. Anthony Fauci went to the Hill and told Congress.................."The system is not really geared to what we need right now," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a House hearing about coronavirus test kits in the United States, which were initially dogged by technical glitches. "That is a failing. Let's admit it."...................it took courage. But it shouldn't have.

When those 17 witnesses went to the Hill to tell what they knew about the illegal scheme to extort Ukraine for the political benefit of the prez, and in so doing defied the order by the Obstructionist-in-Chief to stonewall the House inquiry, they were all being courageous. They put the country's need to know the truth over their own personal and professional interests............knowing retribution from President Petulance was coming......and for many of them it did.

At times simple acts of bravery are not as well publicized. They may be expressed by giving an anonymous interview with a member of the media about what is really going on inside the WH. Or refusing to participate in the corrupt, criminal, incompetent acts of this admin by ignoring instructions or resigning your position.

We should all be thankful these selfless people stepped up to do their part by rejecting the lies, the deceit, the attempts to keep the public from learning the truth or actively misinforming us by this admin. In their sometimes small, sometimes big ways these are American heroes. Their ranks have been systematically depleted by a prez intolerant of truth tellers. Dr. Fauci would be one of those if he was not recognized as one of the world's leading epidemiologists. But rest assured the Orange Fraud was livid when he learned Fauci had been truthful about Don's colossal failure to prepare the nation from the ravages of the c-virus.

People like Fauci, Vindman, Taylor, Hill, Cooper should be celebrated..........not vilified. In normal times they would be. These are not normal times. Never before has the truth been such a powerful enemy of the prez. Evidenced by how much time he spends distorting it, trying to hide it, and punishing those who tell it.
Everyone knows you are a Coward, and a Troll. Why do you bother coming here with your Commie Tard Lies?
 
Then why do you never tell the truth?

Of course not. You've had your head filled with lies from the RWNJ infotainment sites for goD knows how long. You think you know what's real and what's not. They've done a very good job on your brainwashing.
 
Probably the most grotesque Swamp Scum this situation revealed is the WHO employee Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a disgusting, savage Black bureaucrat like Obama who hates Whitey and actually loves genocidal, mass murderer Mugabe. :p The scary thing is, medical care in the USA as a result of affirmative action and diversity has similar scum employed at hospitals, etc.

Nah unlike you I have actually achieved something in my life.

You on the other hand... acting like a 13 year old girl still at 50. Wow...
 


Federal gov't BS ............

1. They sent out faulty kits.....aka screwed up the test kits and don't get fired....
2. In this video .......take a week to get results.....LOL South Korea can do it in 6 hours.

Career workers for the CDC in action............WOW.....they are just GREAT ..........huh

That’s yet another example of the ridiculous failure that is the CDC.


It is indeed a failure of the CDC brought to you by the Dear Leader.

Trump spent the past 2 years slashing the government agencies responsible for handling the coronavirus outbreak
