I think you think we're not because you live in CA, which is doing a terrible job in testing.

Yesterday nearly 100k tests were performed nationwide, which is just under 20% of our total testing done since this started. Today well over 100k tests will be done. Probably over 120k.

We had a slow response to this national emergency due to bad leadership but we're testing now.
