Because you have too many government agencies. Obama Care had prohibited private companies from selling test kits for general public - Trump hand to executive order that one away. The CDC, who we pay taxes for and support, contaminated their test kits. Medicare would not pay - that had to be changed. And 8 agencies need to approve the final test kits. So red tape, bungling, regulations that no one knew were on the books...its not like Germany where Merkel says line up and everyone says "Jawohl!"
