Hospitals and state health departments say they've been scouring the globe to find swabs and lab chemicals used for coronavirus testing, competing against each other in a system New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo described as “mayhem.'

against each other and their peers abroad in a system that Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., described as “mayhem.”

Jennifer Rodriguez, a pharmacy technician at a major retail chain in California, said she was sent home by her employer last week after coming down with symptoms. Her company would not test her, and she spent hours on the phone trying to find a place that would, she said. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

Vendors, in response, are restricting what hospitals can buy, said Dr. Robin Patel of the Mayo Clinic’s infectious disease laboratory.In early March, Trump announced a plan for nationwide testing viaat chains such as Walmart and Target, linked by a Google-affiliated website. Six weeks later, the website is a pilot program available in just four California counties.

Federal health officials declined to say how many cartridges were initially sent to states, but said more will be available as Abbott increases production. The company says it is currently producing 50,000 cartridges daily and has shipped more than 600,000 to hospitals, emergency care clinics and other health care facilities nationwide.

Ya nothing like blaming someone for something they have nothing to do with. I know exactly how that works. I don't think he is responsible for fucking the kids up with dope do you? That should be a consern but notice it's not? No one seems to investigate do you know why? I do.

ap is SO anti-President it is hard to find credibility in anything published even if there is any validity....

And why is that? Maybe because it’s all made in China?

Now wonder my state has the most cases, we have a governor that can solve problems on his own. He has to call in an outside consultant group to open NY back up. And yet no one in the media questions how can he justify paying for that?

..cloud trump recovery effort?

oligarch.

Trump recovery non-effort. Now he's inciting mobs to violence while people die in their thousands.

A problem caused by Trump. He is killing us. Trump cannot manage. Trump cannot plan. Trump knows nothing. He must be removed immediately. A manager who can plan and implement needs to be appointed NOW. We were very encouraged by General Semonite. We need someone to give us hope !

Isn’t profit driven healthcare great?

What don’t realDonaldTrump VP understand? TrumpVirusTestingFailure TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

Research and research can lead to success,every country must start research why maximum of them are looking to America for deliverance.

Why did China do this to us?

The Drs addressed this today at the briefing.

For weeks the issue of inadequate test materials and inadequate testing has been in the forefront of the news. Trump has done nothing to assist the states as they struggle to a address this issue that is critical to combating the pandemic and easing restrictions.

hey, hey BS do fever checks, even slight fever means infection of some sorts, & you got CoronaVirus test only for those that have fever/weakness/cough/breathing problems, need to be tested; spit in dish & culture it, look in microscope, find markings. you got no trained workers!

You all should flood Trumps twitter account with test requests

The more reason most manufacturing should be relocated to the US.

is pathetic. The Task Force addressed this in briefing tonight.

I HATE for their never ending negative news! You would think they could/would try to HELP! But they want misery!

'journalists' working overtime to keep the fear high, meanwhile hospitals are cutting hours. You sad little gremlins.

You hacks. Trump doesn’t spend his free time making reagents for tests. And the FDA approval bottleneck has gotten better.

Everything seems so hard for poor NYGovCuomo. Good thing he has a couple more months to get to phase 1.

The Associated Press:.....'No Plan in Sight'... is this responsible journalism... how partisian... there is a plan that has been laid out... HOW IS THIS JOURNALISM.. are there issues bc of production in China, yeah maybe... BUT DONT SAY NO PLAN IN SIGHT...HORRIBLE

Love it how you spin it and blame Trump

If you support better testing sign the petition and get involved 👇moretestsnow

And here in TN GovBillLee is using up our testing supplies on people who have no symptoms to validate a rush to reopening tourism. Ignoring the fact that travel is the most effective way to transmit CV19. Hospitals have no tests for symptomatic people. He knows it, wasted tests.

Andrew Cuomo is a drama queen

Apparently you're watching a different briefing than the rest of the country.

I’m out 2 jobs I clean buildings everyday at both jobs and I barely make ends for myself much less for my sister if anyone who can help with even a $1 we would appreciate it so much this Virus really has me worried thanks & stay safe. Venmo MattMartins147 cashapp $mattmartins1247

Blame China

American deaths = 37,154 Worldwide deaths = 154,241 America accounts for 24% of worldwide deaths. We make up 4% of the world's population.

No plan in sight: Test troubles cloud Trump recovery effortAround the country, labs and public officials tell AP that critical shortages in supplies such as swabs and chemicals make it impossible to increase COVID-19 testing to the levels needed to keep the virus in check and reopen the economy. Why test? I could be negative today and positive in 3 days. It’s the busy work of the medical industry. Wear a mask. Wash hands. Social distance. Open economy. Testing is irrelevant other than finding hot spots.
