Trump Administration Coronavirus Testing Strategy Draws Concerns: 'This Isn't the Hunger Games'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump administration’s new testing strategy, released Sunday to Congress, holds individual states responsible for planning and carrying out all coronavirus testing, while planning to provide some supplies needed for the tests.

The proposal also says existing testing capacity, if properly targeted, is sufficient to contain the outbreak. But epidemiologists say that amount of testing is orders of magnitude lower than many of them believe the country needs.

The report cements a stance that has frustrated governors in both parties, following the administration’s announcement last month that the federal government should be considered “the supplier of last resort” and that states should develop their own testing plans.

“For months, it was a tennis game, it was going back and forth between the feds and the states, and it’s now landed with the states,” said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories.

Could you imagine if Trump was president in 1941? "Hawaii you're on your own."

2. It shouldn't be the Hunger Games, but here we are.

And for accuracy’s sake, whitehousegiftshop.com is not the White House, but they've certainly captured the Hunger Games vibe of how things are going right now.
