Top doctor says White House coronavirus task force still missing 50% of testing data

Birx, one of the top officials on the White House's coronavirus task force, said Thursday that part of the $2 trillion economic stimulus measure that was signed into law by President Donald Trump requires that all tests conducted get reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But Birx says she has not received that data yet."Well, I'm telling you, I'm still missing 50% of the data from reporting," she said."I have 660 tests reported in.

Governors in both red and blue states have also pushed back on the federal government's often-rosy assessment of the state of national testing efforts. The New York Times reported Monday that Trump said on a call with governors,"I haven't heard about testing in weeks," and"I haven't heard about testing being a problem" in response to a comment by Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, a Democrat, who said states lack adequate tests.

There are backlogs at labs processing batches of tests.

Incompetence on a grand scale.

C'mon...this is FAKE news CNN. We ALL know this is....

OK. Fed's don't physically conduct vast majority of cv-19 tests, it's up to hospitals & private labs to report test results to the Fed's, but Hospitals & labs are swamped just doing tests & treating those infected- does media to anything to help- NO. Media 1 enemy of civil order

You morons don’t read. They’re not “missing” - they haven’t been reported to the task force yet

Trump may changed the data

No lie, No Illusions, No Covering Always perfect with analysis with perfect scale'

The people with the authority to help don't know the system or what to do. It's on the job training.

I visited my local post office the other day and the postal workers there were ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED. I have never seen fear on the face of any human being in my life as they had on theirs. Now I just read that two have tested positive for CoronavirusPandemic covid19

How convenient

Just blame Hillary’s missing email server!

Nobody is actually in charge, is there?

Why?!

Incompetent and disgusting!

Good one, she has her job another day.

And said its 100% on the states not reporting...

Still better than any Democrat.

*gasp* I’m shocked. We live in a Trump Amerikkka that praises communist leaders. Wake the fuck up people, this is just ratings for Trump. He doesn’t care about us. The working class is what makes it work. We are the oil.
