US testing for coronavirus comes under fire
Basically the US, used too strict conditions to get people tested, instead of using the German detection kits the USA went and tried to create their own. The first batch of US test kits were faulty. The second batch incomplete. And the FDA and CDC were carrying out turf wars against each other on behalf of corporate USA. And to cap things, final testing from results from the incomplete US test kits still has to be done by the CDC.
So numbers of infected in the USA are expected to actively rise.
So how does the testing problems described in that NYT sourced article, affect the USA figures for projected infected and fatalities?
