      When the president responded quickly with the first travel ban there was wide criticism from the left about it being racist and xenophobic.

      Here is a link to a very good explanation of the test kit problem. Read it and tell me how it was the president's fault. It was a bureaucratic issue with the CDC and FDA. The article does not come from a right wing Trump apologist site either.

      The first testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control had a simple fault, and red tape prevented other labs from creating their own.


      Now regarding this test kit issue I would not throw shade at the Obama administration either like some would. Kits have to be developed with specific reagents for specific types of pathogens. Kits don't just sit on shelves in a warehouse, especially when a brand new virus comes along.

      It is an issue like this which exposes faults in a system. Some suggested the offerings of kits from other countries to aid in testing but that bumps up against the approval process of our FDA and CDC.

      Yeah, I get it. This is one of those - happened on his watch - kind of things. But show where the president, or his administration, told the CDC they didn't need to test, they should delay testing, the kits they had were fine, or any of this other ridiculous crap that is asserted on this part of the issue.
      Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

          One of my co-workers is a mayor. He gets a phone conference every morning from the public health department.

                  The monstrous medias need a take down. They are just rotten to the core with the left wing agenda.

                      So that we can track the infections and know how severe the situation is. Iowa currently officially has ~25 cases but in reality it's probably over a hundred but we don't know the exact number because hospitals haven't been allowed to test everyone who are showing symptoms.
