, as the president unveiled a new rapid test kit for the contagion aimed at providing results within five minutes.
Also during the press conference, Trump also announced that Ford is repurposing an auto parts factory west of Detroit to start building simple ventilators to treat coronavirus patients. "By very vigorously socially distancing, we can save more than one million American lives,” he said. “The sacrifices we make will determine the fate of this virus and the fate of our victory.”
The United States has been trying for weeks to ramp up coronavirus testing after a series of problems with the initial government-designed test and widespread criticism over the U.S. lagging behind countries like South Korea in testing. The nation’s daily testing capacity has been increasing as more diagnostic makers and large laboratories have developed tests.
The Abbott approval follows two other rapid tests cleared by regulators in the past week. Older laboratory-developed tests can take between 4 to 8 hours to deliver results.
People are still waiting 6-12 days for results.
Should have been more than that by now!
Where is it? People still cannot get tested in areas throughout the US!
Lies, as always
I do not understand why more is not being done! For the love of God shut stuff down! Stop this! Only essential things open! And demand that people take this seriously. I am just so disgusted. This is America! We can do better.
May God strengthen you sir, and help you come out strong, this situation will soon be over and America will bounce back again both economically.
This test was developed in France

HHS Warns States Not To Put People With Disabilities At The Back Of The Line For CareStates are preparing guidelines for when there's not enough care to go around. Disability groups are worried that those standards will allow rationing that excludes people with disabilities. What does HHSGov say the CrisisStandardOfCare should be regarding allocation of equipment? I haven’t seen anything suggesting old or disabled people be put “at the back of the line” but it is a tragic reality that people w/highest chance of survival should get equipment, no? Does ethical decision making in triage factor in anything other than prognosis and longevity? CohenProf georgejannas leonardglantz Survival of the fittest. Yikes.

Trump Condemns New York for Planning Ahead on CoronavirusHere's one possible interpretation of Trump's remarks: The man genuinely cannot comprehend the concept of planning for the future. EricLevitz writes EricLevitz Look at the pathetic, desperate media still pushing out anti-Trump propaganda while hiding actual news. Like the potential fertility risks associated with this coronavirus. Let your assumptions and opinions at least be relevant and helpful. JournalismIsDead EricLevitz Wasn't it NY mayor de Blasio that encouraged its citizens to ignore warning of COVID and to carry on life like normal, up until it became an outbreak epicenter? But yeah, it's Trump's fault and no actually NY is planning way ahead. lol.. EricLevitz Idk who’s crazier: him or his enablers
