Thousands of coronavirus tests are going unused in US labs

Nature investigation of several university labs certified to test for the virus finds that they have been held up

by regulatory, logistic and administrative obstacles, and stymied by the fragmented US health-care system.

Even as testing backlogs mounted for hospitals in California, for example, clinics were turning away offers of testing

from certified academic labs because they didn’t use compatible health-record software, or didn’t have existing contracts

with the hospital. Researchers warn that if such hurdles remain, labs trying to join the effort to fight coronavirus

might end up spinning their wheels. The United States is now the global epicenter of the pandemic,

with more than 430,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including nearly 15,000 deaths.

 

Even though the article was posted on April 9, the situation has not been much improved yet.

Without sufficient testing, it is impossible to ease the restrictions as Trump is contemplating.

Besides Trump, the public health system in the U.S. has no strategies on how to fight the enemy, the virus.

I mean all "novel infectious agents". The U.S. health care system is nothing but a huge enterprise,  

money making machine. Trump is not fighting the enemy, but campaigning for his throne.
