"Exclusive: The Strongest Evidence Yet That America Is Botching Coronavirus Testing
“I don’t know what went wrong,” a former CDC chief told The Atlantic.
...On Monday, Stephen Hahn, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, estimated that “by the end of this week, close to a million tests will be able to be performed” in the United States. On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence promised that “roughly 1.5 million tests” would be available this week.
But the number of tests performed across the country has fallen far short of those projections, despite extraordinarily high demand, The Atlantic has found. Through interviews with dozens of public-health officials and a survey of local data from across the country, The Atlantic could only verify that 1,895 people have been tested for the coronavirus in the United States, about 10 percent of whom have tested positive. And while the American capacity to test for the coronavirus has ramped up significantly over the past few days, local officials can still test only several thousand people a day, not the tens or hundreds of thousands indicated by the White House’s promises....
State-based tallies lack the reliability of the CDC’s traditional—but now abandoned—method of reporting. Several states—including New Jersey, Texas, and Louisiana—have not shared the number of coronavirus tests they have conducted overall, meaning their number of positive results lacks crucial context....
Washington State, the site of the country’s largest outbreak thus far, can test roughly 1,000 people a day. The state health department’s laboratory can test 100 people a day; the rest of the testing is being done at the University of Washington’s Virology Lab. Officials have found 70 positive cases in Washington so far, though a genetic study has estimated that there may be hundreds of untested people who have COVID-19 in the greater Seattle area....
Oregon, situated between the California and Washington hot spots, can test only about 40 people a day. Texas has 16 positive cases, according to media reports, but the health department’s website still lists only three cases. The Texas Tribune has reported that the state can test approximately 30 people a day....."
erinnert irgendwie an das hilflose Auftreten von Spahn, der inzwischen sagt, dass Pflege- und Ärztepersonal könne nicht isoliert werden, sonst brechen die Krankenhäuser zusammen..

"Viele Deutsche wollen sich auf das Coronavirus testen lassen. Doch Kliniken, Praxen und Behörden sind überlastet, Testhersteller beklagen verschiedene Hindernisse. Welche absurden Folgen das haben kann, zeigt das Beispiel eines Betroffenen. ...Einen Teil der Kosten übernehmen die Krankenkassen. Labore, Praxen und Kliniken sind jedoch nur unzureichend auf den Ansturm vorbereitet. Tests bieten bislang nur eine Handvoll Hersteller.....
nach Iran darf nicht geliefert werden...wie absurd ist denn das ?
