8 weeks ago was when the first reports came out of China, so it would be hard to be 8 weeks ahead of where we are no matter what we did.


The World Health Organization offered working tests to the USA while the CDC was trying to make their own tests workable (which they were not at that time, in February). The administration refused them. That one thing right there is one of the significant slow-downs to the USA response to this virus.
