From this news story ... this paragraph:

California had the capacity to conduct 8,227 tests as of Thursday, Newsom said in a press conference. But many of the testing kits provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were missing the key components to conducts the analyses.

“The test kits do not include in every case the RNA extraction kits, the reagents, the chemicals, the solutions that are components of the broader tests,” he said. “This is imperative that the federal government and labs across the United States, not just state of California, get the benefit of all the ingredients, the components of the test. I am surprised this is not more of the national conversation.”

9. "I'm surprised that this is not more of a national conversation"

Umm... I'm NOT.

To report this, the MSM would have to worry about being labeled as "biassed" or "fake".

I'm actually surprised that the media hasn't gathered a bunch of test kits around a table for a "focus group" where they can tell us how "beautiful, perfect and wonderful" they are, and that the faulty test kits are "just part of the deep state".

10. We won't get test kits until

some trumping can figure out how to get several hundred million from the taxpayers to provide them. Then they will be of the quality of the electrical service that trumpians promised for Puerto Rico.

No wonder so many are disgusted with capitalism.
