“Two percent of the U.S. population is about 220 thousand tests a day,' one expert tells ABC News, 'but we know to test just the highest priority groups, we need a half a million tests a day, so this falls short.'

Yeah Trump said testing wasn't a problem from the beginning & was wrong then too.

Idiot!🤡🤡🤡

Big lie, many countries in Europe have many more tests per inhabitant, when should Trump stop lying?

Totally agree But it sounds good And Trumpublicans believe anything & everything he says

Trump is Lying again, He's a Blocker ,he had Drug Companies in to Rashin Supplies. !

Please - can you get any more pathetic? We need 1 gazillion test by Friday - what you can’t - oh we all going to die - piss off - i am going outside

2% of 330,000,000 is over 6 million tests, not 2 hundred thousand, so i am not understanding this comment

Isnt two percent of the US population like 6 million?

Trump better stay in his presidential play pen and stop press briefing, because it's making him look like some crying spoiled baby having his daily fits

why can’t we just test EVERYONE to be safe since you can carry/pass it up to 14 days w/o any symptoms? 🥺 id feel sm better

Is any other country embarking on this testing insanity. For gods sake test everyone for HIV too! Also, please, develop a test for ignorance. Testing is irrelevant. The 1957 pandemic was worse and they had a vaccine in 4 months

Don't forget to Americans that a million test a day is not feasible. Most of the kits is not produced in USA and sourcing it is becoming increasingly difficult to do. May now you understand what Trump was talking about the danger of having other countries like China produce 4 USA

Should be testing trump for the mental illness or VD on the brain

grande uomo di potere ma che non sa cosa sia l'umanità....

why would you format this as '220 thousand'? I think people can ready 220,000 or two hundred and twenty thousand much better.

Who’s the expert? How does she/he know that? Any peer reviews?

testing to me is still a problem location wise especially in local hospitals in NYC. they don't have the equipment. no matter what this fool says about worldwide tests.

Only one issue liberals truly care about. Killing babies. That’s it. Oh, and hating Trump.

Just like NYC needed 50,000 ventilators

I’m gonna get tested for the corona even when I Don’t have symptoms.
