California got incomplete coronavirus test kits – the governor says it's like getting printers with no ink

"The test kits do not include in every case the RNA extraction kits, the reagents, the chemicals, the solutions that are components of the broader tests," he said. "I think it's very much in line with your going to the store and purchasing a printer but forgetting to purchase the ink."

"I am surprised this is not more of the national conversation," Newsom told reporters, as he cautioned that inadequate testing capabilities would likely be a problem for other states as well. "They are improving, but there are still challenges and we need to own up to that, and we need to be forthright and honest about what those are."
 
What Mr. Trump Said

“I don’t take responsibility at all because we were given a set of circumstances and we were given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time.”

False. The Food and Drug Administration issued a “draft guidance” in 2014 in which it sought to extend its authority to regulate laboratory-developed tests. But it’s wrong to blame that effort for the scattered and insufficient delivery of coronavirus tests as the guidance was not particularly relevant to emergency situations and was never finalized or generally enforced.

EDIT

What Mr. Trump Said

“If you go back to the swine flu, it was nothing like this. They didn’t do testing like this, and actually they lost approximately 14,000 people, and they didn’t do the testing. They started thinking about testing when it was far too late.”

False. This is blatantly wrong. Diagnostic tests for the swine flu were approved and shipped out less than two weeks after the H1N1 virus was identified and a day before the first death in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified the first case of the virus on April 14, 2009. The Obama administration declared swine flu a public health emergency on April 26. The Food and Drug Administration approved a rapid test for the virus two days later. At the time, the C.D.C. had reported 64 cases and zero deaths. The C.D.C. began shipping test kits to public health laboratories on May 1 (at 141 cases and one death) and a second test was approved in July. From May to September 2009, the agency shipped more than 1,000 kits, each one able to test 1,000 specimens.

America Is a Sham

Policy changes in reaction to the coronavirus reveal how absurd so many of our rules are to begin with.
:floor::floor: Why should anyone ever pay for rent, utilities, food, transportation or health care!:banging:How can I buy a new IPhone, 90 inch TV, and some new threads if I gotta pay rent! Eat the rich:sarc:How many families, that you are not related too, do y’all provide all those services for? C’mon Man, there is a lot of needy family’s in the panhandle. Y’all need to step up:floor::floor:live your convictions :nuts: You do admit someone has to pay for this stuff, right? American taxpayer? There are no housing trees, healthcare trees, etc:spin::spin:Reminds me of the libtards in Chapel Hill!
