Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 3369172, member: 212"] [I]"The main hurdle is not testing "capacity" (i.e., the number of labs or machines). It's the lack of supplies. We don't have the stuff - vials, reagents, swabs, etc,. This is because China makes most of it and the demand signal has spiked. So our supply chain dependency has bought us a serious public health crisis."[/I] This is the point. Trump/Pence can point to their maps speckled with different colored dots all they want. An abundance of labs and techs is one thing, but without the supplies to perform the tests, they can all twiddle their thumbs. [/QUOTE]
