Watching the press conference update on the coronavirus issue.

A few days ago only a limited number of the "test kits" were
available here in the USA.

The CDC and other agencies have reached out to the private sector
for help and they are now saying that by the end of this week
a *million* kits will be available with more to come.

Should make some people really wonder if they want a
government-only run health care system.




Were you under the delusion government workers were putting together
the test kits?



Of course not.

The CDC and powers to be have also authorized the private companies to
self-test and certify the test kits for use with followup confirmation
to follow later.

In other words, cutting a lot of red tape in response to a potentially
serious crisis.




Ahh, self-test. Let the regulated set their own standards. Disaster looms.
