CNBC article by Dan Mangan
A delay by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in quickly making coronavirus test kits available was the result of “a glaring scientific breakdown” at the CDA central lab, The Washington Post reported.
The Post reported that CDC facilities that assembled the testing kits “violated sound manufacturing practices, resulting in contamination of one of the three test components used in the highly sensitive detection process.”
James Le Duc, a virologist and former CDC officer who now heads the Galveston National Laboratory in Texas, told The Post that the situation was “really a terrible black mark on the CDC, and the impact was devastating to the country.”

I posted this yesterday with link to Washington Post article. Moderators told me it was deleted because link was to a subscription only source. I don't have subscription to WAPO and the link works fine for me, full article is there. There is a link to the WAPO article at the bottom of the CNBC link posted above. That link also works fine.
