The vice president rejected criticism that there is not enough testing capacity to end lockdowns and reopen the U.S. economy.

that during the call, Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with the Democrats, dubbed the administration's bid to implement a national testing regime as a"dereliction of duty."On Thursday, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said his state, which is among the hardest hit, was"1,000 miles away" from having enough tests, according to The Hill.

He told reporters at Friday's press conference that"we will have and there will be enough tests to allow us to take this country through phase one." "The real unknown in this, to be completely transparent, is asymptomatic and asymptomatic spread, and so if we find that there's a lot of asymptomatic individuals that we find in this active monitoring in what we are very much concerned about, the most vulnerable, then we will have to have increased testing to cover all of those sites."

How many tests are sufficient - why can’t I get one?

Why is he speaking? Get the medical experts on. Keep Trump and pence away from cameras. They have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.

What does sufficient mean in VP world?

Yes. because they are willing to bet on the lives of millions. They don't mind if a few more die so long as their corporate friends recoup some profit. cantfathom36000gone
