We're behind the curve’: U.S. hospitals confront

the challenges of large-scale coronavirus testing

 

Not so, says physician and epidemiologist Michael Mina, who helps run the diagnostic lab at Brigham

and Women’s Hospital in Boston and has been critical of the Trump administration in blistering tweets

. “The reality is most people will not be able to get a test this week, and most people will not be able

to get a test next week,” Mina says. He also anticipates that there will be—or may already be—a shortage

of reagents needed to run the test kits. He’s not alone. “We are deeply concerned that as the number of tests

increases dramatically over the coming weeks, clinical labs will be unable to deploy them without these

critical components,” the American Society for Microbiology said in a statement it issued yesterday.

CDC Director Robert Redfield echoed that concern yesterday in an interview with Politico, and the agency

on 9 March revised its COVID-19 guidelines to require testing only one patient sample, rather than two,

which will cut the reagent needs in half.

 

We are screwed up because of bureaucracy. U.S. labs and hospitals cannot do the test if they do not follow 

CDC protocols and do not use the agents from overseas that are not approved by the FDA. It is suspicious of 

the Trump administration might be insisting to use the product and/or the methods invented in the U.S.. Michael 

Pence and Trump often commented on the subject that "The U.S. has the best system in the world. No other country 

is better than U.S." The arrogance will pay the enormous price.
