Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Anger is mounting in the US over the Trump administration’s failure to test for coronavirus on a scale that could contain the outbreak and mitigate its most devastating impacts. From Congress to state capitals across the country, politicians of both main parties have shown rare bipartisan agreement that the pace of federal testing is woefully inadequate. Congress members who were given private briefings by Trump administration officials on Thursday expressed shock and outrage that so far only 11,000 tests have been conducted in a country of 327 million people. By contrast South Korea, which has been grappling with one of the most severe outbreaks of Covid-19 globally, tests roughly the same number, about 10,000 people, every day. In total, South Korea has tested 230,000 of its 51 million people – 130 times as many per capita as the US. One of the most astounding indications that the US is falling abysmally behind where it needs to be in getting to grips with the crisis is given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its coronavirus database. It records the number of specimens tested daily for Covid-19 by CDC and public health labs. It shows that on Tuesday, the most recent entry given, the total number of specimens tested across the whole of the US was eight. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/12/coronavirus-us-testing-failures-trump-administration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,729 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I am afraid thousands of people already have this and are spreading it. Unfortunately, we won't know the scope of this until our hospitals are overrun with COVID-19 patients needing urgent care. It is so scary to think about how things will look a month from now...

Rio 5,088 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Sorry but I'd hate to live in America. Gun crime, rife racism, Deplorables, abysmal healthcare, Texas, and this lack of strategy in fighting the virus. The Trump administration needs to do better. Kinda hope he catches it, he's appalling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
