More than two months after the first confirmed case of coronavirus, the U.S. still doesn’t have enough tests. Michael Osterholm says there may be excess tests in some localities, but, “We don’t have a system that tests everybody when they need it… we need a national system to make that work, and we don’t have that.” Aired on 05/11/2020.

Trump Still Insists ‘Anyone’ Can Get Tested For Coronavirus; It’s Not True. | The Last Word | MSNBC

I couldn’t get tested where I specifically lived. I had to go out a lot further to get a test. But all that matters is I got tested. Even if you have to travel far to get a test, please do it. I don’t know if they had limited or no tests, because there is a lot of elders and elderly homes in the general area where I live. I was denied a test previously even when showing covid-like symptoms (I only had the original flu because I got a flu shot and have been tested negative! Just always be safe especially with flu season plus covid-19)

There is no definitive test for covid-19. The tests they have have been shown to produce both false negatives and false positives to a rate that suggests the tests are totally ineffective.

Really? I live in Los Angeles. And testing is available for everyone. Even if you don’t have symptoms.

DNA test that can be Deliver to people that might have the virus and all they have to do is not eat or drink for 30 min spit in to a tube put it back in to the box and ship it back to the Lab and stay inside in till your results come back so for everyone that is seeing my comments stay safe Healthy and kind .

Having enough tests available would paint a clearer picture of the infected population. This is poor optics for the administration. If the truth were known then more potential workers would continue self-quarantine. A thriving economy has been the cornerstone of every republican election strategy dating back to Calvin Coolidge. No workers=No economy. No economy=Decimation in the ranks of the GOP. The brand is so damaged that every coveted office from the President down to Parks Attendant is now in jeopardy. I/e. a pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps Armageddon for supply side cultists. The day was bound to come. Everyone eventually dies and nature cleans out the barn. Or so say Trump’s advisors. We send thoughts and prayers to those who lose those ill gotten offices this fall. Quid pro Quo

You can get tested for free, it doesn’t matter who you are – what he said is absolutely true.
The only issue is that some places don’t have enough kits for everyone just yet.
That second sentence doesn’t override the first, but you just can’t help yourself.
