BREAKING: The US is failing to produce even small number of testing kits for COVID-19 extraction despite Trump & Pence statements.
Labs and states are worried. Expect next to no availability to continue for weeks. It is vital to self-quarantine.
Story last night by politico where the CDC admitted it was out of the kits needed to extract the RNA samples.
The commercial labs and states are now saying the same. Even the small number of tests being produced are not increasing or grinding to a halt.
It’s not the testing ability but the SUPPLY CHAIN of all the things you need to extract the RNA sample (who you know if someone has tested positive) through something called PCR.
This extraction process is where (RNA kits) are on back order everywhere. Not just CDC but universities and commercial labs.
The leading supplier is a company called Qiagen.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
