Shortage of Test Components Forces Labs to Beg, Borrow and Improvise

Facing looming shortages of supplies needed to conduct coronavirus tests, some laboratories are taking matters into their own hands.

Labs at places such as New York University and Stanford University are starting to make their own chemical mixtures because they can’t buy enough. A high-school lab in Tennessee managed to set up testing operations, with two science teachers leading the charge to reduce turnaround time in their area. And Northwell Health, a hospital network in New York, said it is making its own 3-D printed swabs...

What labs are short staff as I would pitch in.

You know, if only the work on this had started when the WHO was warned. Or when the first person in the US died. A 2-3 month head start would probably have been useful...

Trump has failed again.

'GET WELL SOON' Boris BorisJohnson was admitted to the hospital due to coronavirus

They can test athletes, politicians, criminals in jail, and even animals. But sure.. there is a shortage for the general public.

I hope they make some laws hear that override the prophet takers and see that we manufacture the things that are necessities to life here in America.🤑🤑🤑🤑😡🇺🇸
