Why is the US so behind in testing?
 

I don't get why the richest country in the world is at #42 on the tests/1M population chart (Coronavirus Update (Live): 2,628,469 Cases and 183,491 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer). It is still very difficult to get a test weeks after we were promised they were available to everyone.

If we don't know where we stand re infections (the hidden threat), how can we make a sane decision that it's safe to go back to business as usual?

Hope is not a strategy. I've no confidence in what they're telling me - it is NOT safe to go back to "normal" until we get more testing done.

Your source is ?

Testing is only a snap shot in time--you could be negative one day & positive 24 hours latter--the only thing that matters is a cure or better yet a vaccine--

Ask Dr Fauci

There is an excess of tests available in Orange county, some of the drive-in test sites have an excess of 200+ per day not being used. One of the problems is the ID requirement holding back illegals as stated on ABC news Orlando.

Population of Italy, Spain, France, UK and Germany = 320 million. COVID 19 Deaths 86,446

Population of US = 328 million Covid 19 Deaths 42,012

Calm down.

I clicked on your link. I don't see Dr. Fauci mentioned. Why do you think the problems at the CDC had anything to do with Dr. Fauci who you seem to blame for the testing fiasco. Dr Fauci does not work for the CDC, he has never worked for the CDC, and I think you know that but you want him smear him with someone else's mistakes.

Your interpretation of the data is wrong. You are not using tests per million as a standard.

Same question Governors and Mayors are asking. The lack of tests is a black eye.

Let’s see, new virus and 350 million plus people. they are testing the hot spots, our area not considered hot spot

Check the hyperlink in the OP. Organize the chart by the last column.

The original post states America is richest country in the world. If ever a statement was wrong.

Perhaps the problem is summed up with that statement.

If Americans believe that, then I guess they believe anything.

We are not behind in testing! We are ahead in FakeNewsMedia

Simple corona home test
Light a match
Can you smell it ? You don’t have corona
Taste & smell are lost with corona virus

Oh boy
 

This is what happens when seniors are Lock up to for to long .
Relax everything is going fine - seniors are receiving SS - pensions etc . Concern should be given to the working population and there future survival. Which is what the powers to be are doing while some us stay luck up and complain.

There are plenty of tests. Are you showing symptoms? Call your doctor. Don't wait for a testing site to show within the Villages.
