How the government delayed coronavirus testing

The US government not only failed to use hundreds of laboratories across the United States for emergency testing, it actually blocked non-government labs from assisting. CNN's Drew Griffin reports. #CNN #News

  1. And we’re surprised at this point??? Honestly I expected something like this. Trump has handled everything else in his presidency poorly and immaturely; why would this be any different?

    1. @Nostradumbass yeah he was such a patriot he got a deferment during the Vietnam war while other Americans did serve this country.

    2. You’re right the mainstream media will never change their agenda they will make you believe he is done a poor job at everything. Regardless of reality.

      Here’s a comment with more than opinions, descriptions, emotions, and stupid insults with no real reason for them!..

      Trump didn’t cut funding to the CDC Obama did..

      And Trump did not disband Obama’s pandemic response team. I will provide a link to you for that in a moment.

      Trump never called the virus itself a hoax, Trump said that the Democrats would politicize the virus and then push hoax information.

      Now I’m sure you don’t remember what Democrats and the mainstream media was doing at the beginning of this virus, they were still focused entirely on impeachment nothing else was newsworthy!!!
      Matter-of-fact Trump responded so quickly that the Democrats like Nancy pelosi and Alexandria ocasio-cortez claimed Trump was racist against the Chinese and causing discrimination for his overreaction!
      Pelosi and Cortez then literally invited Mass people to Chinatown in solidarity against racism and discrimination completely ignoring social distancing measures!

      Now this wasn’t on CNN or mainstream media but it happened the president of the W.H.O actually praised Donald Trump in his early efforts against the virus. Even Governor Cuomo and Rashida tlaib, including Dana loesch from CNN credited Trump on his efforts.
      Even polling shows that more people trust Donald Trump and his team more than the mainstream media when it comes to the virus.

      Did I even mention that the FDA did find and approve a successful treatment! It happens to be hydroxychloroquine. It just happens to be the drug Trump said he had high hopes for. So it might be a while before you hear about one. Give me a few minutes and I’ll get a link to this also.
      https://www-washingtonpost-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/03/30/coronavirus-drugs-hydroxychloroquin-chloroquine/?amp_js_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&outputType=amp&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=15859648711423&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fbusiness%2F2020%2F03%2F30%2Fcoronavirus-drugs-hydroxychloroquin-chloroquine%2F

      I could keep going on but I feel if this comment gets too long it will get ignored entirely.
      Nevermind I’m going on. Did you know the CDC lied to us. They first told us that face masks won’t do us any good. They did this so people wouldn’t stalk and hoard them when the hospitals are going to need them, but they couldn’t keep this lie going telling us that the hospitals need them and we don’t. They later came out with a so-called correction with supposedly new and more data that masks were useful in the fight against the coronavirus.
      You can be the judge of whether it involved “new information” or if they already knew.

      Did you even hear about the fake news CBS put out? CBS literally used footage out of an Italian hospital and claimed it was New York City and got caught! How does a mainstream media Network get something that wrong?
      https://youtu.be/LcuYMNAu6u4

      And then there’s the story CNN put out of a woman whotells the story of her and her husband drinking fish bowl cleaner because the fish bowl cleaner had some hydroxychloroquine amongst many different and toxic chemicals… She says they “both” drank it because the president said he was hopeful of hydroxychloroquine. She said that they thought it would be helping them..
      Then on air she says don’t trust Trump…a woman who interpreted Trump saying he was hopeful for the drug hydroxychloroquine that means drink fish bowl cleaner.. and CNN ran that as a credible story.
      Do a little research and you find out this woman has multiple assault charges against her husband has been trying to file for divorce for years. It does not take a conspiracy theorist to think she poisoned her husband and blamed the president and the News ran with it.. In my opinion this is another “Jessie Smollett story” except this one’s a murder cover-up, not a fake hate crime…

      Independent research and critical thinking will make much more of a difference than just listening to the mainstream media!

    3. @Terri Jones lol thats funny trumps been a dem for decades and if i remember correctly the dems where spitting on vietnam vets coming home from the war… very interesting.

    4. @Low IQ Leftist You really think anyone is going to read all that when all you have to do is listen to Trump speak to understand that the man has no character, no empathy, no integrity, no leadership skills and a very limited intellect.

    1. @Low IQ Leftist still trying to get the last word loser? Geez you don’t have to lie to make friends closet boy.

    2. @R Mcdud
      And that comment you just criticized Trump for taking too long on the travel ban while Democrats actually screamed that he was racist and overreacting and causing racism and discrimination against the Chinese for his overreaction… Even Nancy pelosi and Alexandria ocasio-cortez invited people to gather in Chinatown while the social distancing order was already set!
      That’s just great material

      I bet you don’t even know that on January 17 even the W.H.O said that the coronavirus is not transmittable between humans..

      You’re TDS doesn’t even allow you to think! It just blames Trump no matter what! And I love it!

      So if you don’t mind be predictable and insult me again it’s more material.

    3. @R Mcdud
      That’s perfect!
      Why would you care what the speaker of the house and a congressman are doing? They’re just part of your government but I guess CNN isn’t telling you to care, so why would you?
      There is a Republican Senate and presidency, but you haven’t successfully proved anything you said about them.
      And thanks for that immature insult at the end on top of you not knowing what you’re talking about.
      Normally once I admit I’m going to use someone’s comments to make them look stupid, they stop.
      But I like that you just keep going

    4. @Low IQ Leftist shouldn’t you be down working as a mouth down at the local GOP gloryhole? They got plenty of poles for you to smoke. 🤣

  2. tRump says that he is doing a great job, but why has the US got the highest infection rates in the world?

    1. @Vortec 262 oh bull! Other countries are testing way more than us…Chump doesn’t want the real numbers coming out. Everyone who wants a test can get a test….biggest lie yet! Sad! Bigly sad! The reality show host who refuses to live in reality!

    2. @Vortec 262 NY times has an article on Fort Detrick and YT George Webb on Faucis patents, I have other reports and articles on my PC however I’m using my phone and can’t be bothered switching my PC on to copy and paste the reports to you, because I never booked marked all the reports it will take time and effort to do so. Also the virus that you have in the US according to the experts came from Europe not from China, Democracy Now on YT aired this today.

    3. @dryhumor foe I know it caught u off guard and your upset. but I have prepared myself my whole life for a shutdown. Trump administration is powerless. Most of what they do or don’t do makes very little difference either way.

    4. We don’t, per cap infection rate is doing good. You are at least smart enough not to compare total infections without considering population size right? That’s like elementary school stuff.

  3. Iowa needs P.PE. and test kits . I think they’re short on test kits ,cause when I called my clinic few weeks ago .they ask me have I been out country

    1. that’s all over the country. Not enough tests. I mean, unless you’re an actor on in the NBA or are a talking head for CNN or something like that. The rest of us? Have to be on a ventilator before testing happens.

    2. Limousine liberals all over Hollywood are getting test kits , your saying your not ? Huh , I wonder why that is.

    1. hunt down a clip of the mayor of Chicago, at a Pritzker presser abt 3 days ago, ripping Jared a new one. I fell in love with her in that 2 minutes. She’s maybe 5 foot tall and you got the sense she could have knocked Jared down with one punch.

    1. Alot of good 3M is. They got the only factory in USA that makes them N95 masks. And they have been sending masks overseas the whole time. People saying need to make here instead of China don’t have a clue.

    1. CNN’s Drew Griffin is peddling propaganda. CNN is FAKE NEWS.

      The “road blocks” have been in place for sometime and will not be removed unless the scientists think there is a need to remove the “road blocks.” There was no need for this very reason.

  4. trump did not inherit a broken system. He purposefully dismantled and destroyed it. All because of his utterly blind visceral hatred and jealously of Obama. Trump is the greatest failure in Presidential history.

    1. @OneDeadChicken
      I know you didn’t look up those links..
      What I was saying is literally in the title to some of those
      I cited CBS I even cited The Washington Post I cited many liberal media sources.
      You didn’t look s*** up

    2. @Marvin GuigarThe US has 4 times more infections than anywhere else on the entire planet. The current disaster is Trumps fault, not Obama’s. PS. it’s uncool to “like” your own comments.. just sayin.. now move along MAGAt

  5. Thats what happens when you have the wrong people incharge 🤦‍♂️… the wrong most incompetent people

    1. @Margo Bradley nah. our corrupt moron of a president who said two months ago that the coronavirus numbers were “going down, not up”. the blood is on his hands!

    2. @vman armand Sounds familiar…..uh…. um….yeah…got it…THE CLINTONS!!!! THE BIDENS, SANDERS……Oops, sorry, forgot…The last two were way too stupid to actually set up a foundation. Trump will win 2020. The man is PHENOMENAL. Get over it.

  6. The delay in implantation of a concise national plan is costing human lives negligently from our government.

    1. Where tf do you get your facts? Go look up the real timeline!!!
      More propagandist bullshit.
      Are you a chinabot?

  7. When you ha a monarch in power things move in a different mode. Be happy and make our King happy.

  8. I have a sick family member tested almost 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for result. This is all a giant lie from the federal government.
