Why has coronavirus testing in the US been such a disaster? | World news | The Guardian
The Trump administration is scrambling to provide more testing, leaving many to wonder how it got its Covid-19 response so wrong
America’s failure to provide quick and easily accessible testing to people suspected to have the coronavirus has been a central thrust of criticism about the US response to the threat from the global pandemic.
That has left many wondering how the US could have got its coronavirus response so wrong, though it appears that steps are now being taken to try and catch up with the outbreak’s spread.
======================================================================
Roche, the American sub of a big Swiss pharma giant, has just gotten the go-ahead to produce test kits in bulk (up to 500,000 kits). When all else fails, turn to the commercial sector, the people that know what they are doing to make a $$$.
