What’s frustrating is that I read that they wanted to test this patient a week ago and the CDC refused.
Even if they kept him relatively quarantined, that’s a week that was lost contact tracing and identifying people who were exposed.
I realize the CDC has a balancing act, and doesn’t want to waste tests, but China is testing tens of thousands, how is it we have only tested 442? Why can’t we get test kits out that work?
As long as our test kits don’t work, we will have no confirmed cases.
OK, so maybe that sounds cynical.
Heck, maybe it is cynical.
Maybe not...
