The White House will announce this afternoon a push for states to test at least 2 percent of their populations for the coronavirus in May, a senior administration official told reporters Monday.
will be distributed to states based on a formula that considers the prevalence of the coronavirus in states and their overall population. White House officials have repeatedly noted that the U.S. has conducted more tests than any other nation. But the U.S. also has reported far more cases than any other country — necessitating a high level of testing to help bring the U.S. coronavirus outbreak under control by identifying and isolating the sick.
And the other 98%? Two percent is negligible.
We're halfway through May ffs
Another great milestone! 2% in May 2020. At that rate we have the country tested by the end of July. In 2024.

Trump giving any help on this?
Whooppie
Was this dated 2/28/20?
2%? Are you kidding me?
Why government no take care of me. Government me daddy. Me deserve test. Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa
Wow. 2 %. Amazing. 🙄
How much is being spent on contact tracing? Because large scale testing will be meaningless without massive contact tracing is point. And contact tracing is FAR more difficult and costly than nasal swabs.
Wasn't this 2% in the guidelines they issued some time ago? Why is he out here telling us the same information again?
The White House is so f****** slow. Pathetically slow! Vote for Democrat Joe Biden in November! Vote for the Senate Democrat in your state and for the House of Representatives in November! VOTE Blue in November! ❤️🇺🇸❤️⚖️❤️📜💪🏾💪🏻👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿💪🏿💪💪🏼👍🏽👍
Testing one person a thousand times doesn't count as a thousand people tested.
Is that how high the Dotard can count to & how they came to that number?
They'll push the states to test 2% of their populations... And Jared has a special offer on the Federal Stockpile Tests they can obtain for those tests. Well some of them. He hasn't found enough supplies for 72M tests.
Too little too late
Are they helping states obtain swabs? 2% is not enough especially without tracking the people who are positive.
“That’s going to be something that I don’t even — look, we have so much testing. I don’t think you need that kind of testing or that much testing, but some people disagree with me and some people agree with me.”
Will the White House direct funding and distribute resources to the states to help facilitate the testing?
I don't listen to anything the WH says. We will make this year trumps worst year ever as a person. voteblue
This goes along with HR 6666 introduced in House. Getting us use to all this BS.
BREAKING: Trump creates ObamaGate to distract from his crappy COVID response. Up next, MillardFillmoreGate to distract from Trump's crappy economic situation. Fillmore was clearly trying to cover up the radical left's ties to the Rickets outbreak.
The WH made this same announcement a week ago.
How, exactly?
2% ... that's all?
2% that’s t-w-o percent
A whole 2%? Wow.
So something that should have happened a while ago is happening good job🙄
Civilwar ? Vs Tryanny you can take those tests and toss them in your local River... I can see a test party happening real soon in America..1776!!! WeAreTiredOfTheTyranny
It’s almost like they should’ve been doing this the whole time. Another failure
Wow. Like this = some kind of accomplishment. Delusional.
