Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, said Tuesday on NPR's Morning Edition that President Donald Trump was incorrect in saying coronavirus testing problems had been resolved.

"Yeah, that's just not true. I mean I know that they've taken some steps to create new tests, but they're not actually produced and distributed out to the states." Hogan said, when host Rachel Martin asked him about Trump's assertions. "No state has enough testing."

In a coronavirus task force briefing Monday, Trump said America's coronavirus testing was better "than any country in the world."

"We have done more tests, by far, than any country in the world, by far. Our testing is also better than any country in the world," Trump said on Monday.

2. This is one of reasons Marylanders like Hogan.

He often breaks with Trump.

5. Yes. It's only apparent now.

He's doing well.

3. GOOD, glad to see that my governor's speaking up.

4. He and others need to flat out say Trump is lying.

I know he has loyalty to state citizens, but what about the nation. Prominent Republicans have to tell the truth to turn this thing around. Todays numbers are again gonna be horrifying.

6. the Trump quote

shows him engaging in a flat out lie.
(and it's quite easily verifiable as such)

7. Come on governor

You knew he was a lying, solipsistic con man with zero competence before. When did YOU learn it governor?

8. Those Maryland trumptards are going to be pissed. Nobody confronts cat grabber with the truth.

9. Heard that.

Good for him, he has been rebutting -45 for at least a week now.

[BobsYourUncle]

11. That is so good!

MINUS 45, I love it. Reminds me of the definition of a nebbish as a person who when he walks into a room, you feel like somebody just left!

[2naSalit]

13. I like that.

I like -45 so I don't waste a lot keystrokes when I have a thought to impart sometimes.

10. you and I know that if that right-winger was in another state he would say the opposite

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. One trick pony. He's lying and he knows it but as long as he's not called on

it, he'll continue his massive lies. It's so frustrating.

14. Per capita testing is dismal - 0.3%

Particularly in TX, AZ, and too many other states.

NY and WA lead, but even they have only tested about 1% of the their residents.

Running more tests than a country like Italy (about a fifth of our population) isn't a great feat.

For test and other statistic tracking (including historical data) this is the best site I've found (project spearheaded by the Atlantic):
