America has tested more patients for Coronavirus than any other nation on Earth

Another huuuuge untold story, but the enemedia.

An update on Coronavirus testing

America has tested more patients for Coronavirus than any other nation on Earth. That milestone is no accident: It resulted from our Federal Government leading the most aggressive testing ramp-up in history.

Early and strong action made the difference. After the CDC published the genetic sequence for the first domestic case of Coronavirus, the Trump Administration mobilized a massive private-sector response. Since then, the FDA has worked with test developers across the country on emergency use authorizations (EUAs) related to virus detection.

???????? One step at a time, America will safely open for business again.

In other words, President Trump is leading a true nationwide response, not simply a government-wide one. Given the scale of this global pandemic, that difference is key. During the 2016 Zika outbreak, the FDA issued only 20 testing-related EUAs. It authorized just 17 during the 2009 “swine flu” pandemic and only 13 for the 2014 Ebola Virus.

For Coronavirus, the FDA has issued nearly 70 emergency use authorizations thus far—and it’s doing so quickly. When the company Roche submitted an application for its test on March 13, for example, it was approved within 24 hours.

As President Trump helps governors prepare to safely reopen our country, America is now entering its third stage in testing:

  • Stage 1 was the Launch: It included sequencing the virus, mobilizing the private sector to develop tests, issuing EUAs quickly, and working with commercial and research labs to ramp up testing capacity across the country.
  • Stage 2 was about Scale: That meant identifying and expanding America’s testing infrastructure, as well as strengthening our national supply chain. To help increase production, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act.
  • Stage 3 will now accelerate Opening Up America Again: The Administration is helping governors as they do their part to update testing strategies in their states.

Today, the Administration released two important documents for this new stage in testing. The first is a Testing Overview Presentation, which lays out the 8-step expansion of America’s testing capacity over the past several months. The second is a Testing Blueprint, which will help states adopt robust testing plans as they prepare to reopen.

Combined, these efforts across government have resulted in the largest public- and private-sector response to a health crisis in U.S. history. Today’s announcement will help governors protect their citizens as America enters a new phase in its war on this virus.

Pamela is right, this is a huge benefit for the USA, and much better than Europe. You can’t stop the bug if you can’t find the bug.
April 29, 2020 total US mortalities attributed to Covid-19 = 58,645 = 5.8% of all confirmed cases

April 29, 2020 total Europe mortalities attributed to Covid-19 = 126,809 = 9.5% of all confirmed cases
https://covid19info.live/europe/
And this is with apparent over-counting of Covid-19 mortalities in the US, and apparent under-counting of mortalities in Europe. Also, note that the percentages above aren’t real measures of true mortality rates. For those, we’ll need a good measure of total US Covid-19 cases, including the tens of millions who never reported that they had it. Careful, random, representative sampling, with antibody tests of a few thousand citizens, will help nail that down. The final US case fatality rate will probably be less than 0.1%, or a mortality of in 1 in 1,000 US Covid-19 patients. In the 2017-2018 US flu season, 80,000 died.

DEMS will never get enough testing. They want to destroy our country and blame it on Trump.
Biden can then play Santa Claus and show he cares.
