Former Bush admin official: every American needs to be tested for coronavirus right now ForbesFrontlines

If all this sounds reasonable, what is stopping us from pursuing an aggressive testing strategy?

Testing capacity has recently increased significantly—total performed tests to date now exceed 2.4 million and are increasing by more than 150,000 each day. But our national goal must now be building the capability for several millions of tests each day. Ultimately, for “information smart” success, we will need between 1-2 billion tests to be performed in the next twelve months.

Execution of this new testing and surveillance system is within our ability. What is needed now is for President Trump and other government and private sector leaders to embrace this vision and put their weight behind it. President Trump recently used the Defense Production Act to increase production of ventilators. If necessary, he should further expand the DPA to enable the mass production of testing devices, kits and associated essential materials.

HelloTeamTrump That makes it wrong right there.

Yes they need to

Before they go back to work. Yes

Every person?

Open wide for the choo choo

And what about those who have just been expose and test negative?

Abella_Danger Hell nah we don’t

Yeah let’s believe something bush says now

How else can we end this? Test everyone. Need vaccine soon(er). Serum. Hc/ztab/Zinc sulfate. Anything else that works.

I don’t agree with much he says but i do agree with this

Philosophically and theoretically it makes all the sense in the world. Practically I don’t know that it is possible.

No thanks

So, do we test everyone daily? Nothing says they can’t contract it after the test...

YES!!!!!!!!! Working in an office again and HOPE that others in the office are CV-19 free? Travel again into another state, let alone country and HOPE that Europe (for example), will not REQUIRE proof of American (or other nationality) CV-19 status? 100% of Anericans NEED Test!

Uhm. Sure. (Tell us something we don't know.) But serum blood tests are not up & ready for some reason. I'll go the day my local (or national) lab can do the test. And so will everyone else. And I don't care about medical privacy; I just want to know.

But the experts said testing every american would be impractical and not everyone needs to be tested.

An impossible expectation which would take away valuable resources and time from those actually infected.

Boo... how can we be sure they're not fixed/tainted to spread disease? Covid19 BillGatesVirus
