'Hard truths and important facts': Biden pushes for coronavirus testing reset with $50 billion plan

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Joe Biden seeks to reset the nation’s inconsistent coronavirus testing efforts with a $50 billion plan and more federal oversight.

Biden’s plan calls for a newly created Pandemic Testing Board to coordinate a “clear, unified approach” to testing for COVID-19, a marked difference from the Trump administration’s policy of states establishing their own plans with federal support.

Laboratories have ramped up production to more than 2 million tests each day, but stubborn problems persist. Some labs struggle to complete timely tests – particularly when demand surges – because of shortages of critical supplies.

Public health labs largely are not equipped to detect new coronavirus variants such as ones first identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa. And there's debate among testing experts on whether wider use of cheaper but less sensitive rapid tests will be the smartest path out of the pandemic.

1. And so The USA will begin its coordinated

Battle to contain Covid19 a year after its first cases.

Seeks needs to become allocates now. 😢

If ever we needed a shutdown it is NOW before the UK, Brazil & SAfricavariants spread before the vaccine is in everyone.

If we don’t we risk losing too many.

France issues warnings to leaders

“ "If we do not tighten regulations, we will find ourselves in an extremely difficult situation from mid-March," the advisor warned during an interview with BFM television.”

No one wants to hear about shut down including me. But do we really want another 400,000 to die unnecessarily?

But shutdown it is necessary even inevitable because too many disregard health guidelines.

Feeling that pain just before the tears flow.

It didn’t have to be this way.

2. It is really a crime that Trump did not invoke the DPA for testing. We could have done so much...

...more and better. And now as we allowed it to run rampant it has had lots of time not only to kill, but mutate into even something worse. The level of incompetence is staggering and I think criminal.
