‘Not enough people to test!’

Today’s Washington Post front page might confuse some readers: “As coronavirus testing expands, a new problem arises: Not enough people to test.”

That’s odd. After months of claiming that America lagged the world in testing capacity, the partisan media never corrected itself. It just changed the story and moved on.

🎬 WATCH: America’s testing capacity is unmatched and unrivaled!

Here are the facts the media left out. Under President Trump, the United States has built the strongest Coronavirus testing system in the world. In addition to performing more tests than any other country on Earth—by far—America has now conducted twice as many tests per capita as South Korea, long considered a gold standard for testing.

On every supply issue, from ventilators to testing to the availability of food, President Trump has mobilized a massive response across government and the private sector. As a result, many areas today see their testing capacity exceed demand—exactly what happened with ventilators after President Trump drastically expanded production.

Being overprepared is a good “problem” to have, and it didn’t happen by accident. Thanks to the hard work of President Trump, our public health experts, and private sector leaders, America is more ready than ever for a safe, phased reopening.

See President Trump’s tweet on The Washington Post’s front page.

By the numbers: America leads the world in testing!

We had the same in early March. My wife was tested for the flu and came back negative. 2 days later she was tested for the virus - and they screwed up the test. I got the antibody test last week and today it came up negative. So what we both had (about 5 days apart) was probably neither the flu or the virus.

Antibodies

“ If those antibodies are not present, either the person is not infected or the infection occurred a very long time ago, and the B cells generating these specific antibodies have naturally decayed.”
