The White House coronavirus task force plans to provide states with enough supplies for 8 million coronavirus tests per month to facilitate the reopening of the economy.
A senior administration official said Monday that the Trump administration wants the US swimming in tests to facilitate a return to normal.
The bottleneck is really the ability to collect samples, the official told reporters.

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now Chinas reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leaders upcoming election.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.
But certainly violated when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring. Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.
To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trumps alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .
Keep increasing the tests, and you will find more asymptomatic, or minimally symptomatic cases. More and more trivial cases every day.
So the case count will maintain, or even go up. But one absolute requirement to move out of “Phase 1”—to “allow” people to go back to work—is declining case counts.
Idiots. Thanks, Dr. Fauxi. Thanks, Dr. Scarf. And thanks, Mr. President. For this really stupid plan that Governors must violate to save their states. Total confusion still reigns.
What does test mean?
* Antibody test to see if you have had the disease and gotten better? Or...
* RT-PCM test to see if you are sick right now?
But... this means death rates will noticeably be decreasing as well. Not a bad thing. It will certainly be a good political tool fir Trump
Not enough, and not fast enough.
The White House priority should be how to produce millions more tests more quickly; not just portioning out a supply that is too small to begin with.
The bottlenecks of conducting enough tests should me meted out between the states, the health care system and private industry. Already pharmacies like CVS are getting into the act. More institutional labs can be beefed up to assay more tests more quickly. That too is where states and the institutions within them can act.
Maybe the war time measures for commanding production of goods needs to be invoked, to beef up production of the test kits.
