      1/5 A word on #coronavirus testing: Diagnostic testing has moved more rapidly than ANY previous test for a new virus. @CDCgov developed the molecular diagnostic test in the U.S. in a week- while also working to make capability available at state public health departments...

      2/5 The current state of diagnostic testing for #Coronavirus is expanding rapidly/ widely- all 50 states now have testing capability. This will support the ability for practitioners to diagnose #COVID19 as community transmission occurs in some areas at this phase of the epidemic.

      3/5 In addition to state public health labs, testing will soon be available at many academic medical centers & private sector. @US_FDA has facilitated use of these tests in patients by an Emergency Use Authorization. @CMSGov has created new coding to facilitate reimbursement.

          4/5 I understand the public’s concern. The entire response will be looked at for lessons learned- but now we must focus on the task at hand. Many good people are working 24/7 to ensure the American public will have the ability to get a #coronavirus test if your doctor orders it!

          5/5 in the interim, please remember- the best way to stop the spread of #coronavirus is with good face, hand and respiratory hygiene. 🙏🏽 Let’s all work together, and prepare vs panic to prevent community spread of #covid19.

          And many of the people with obscenely high insurance deductibles still won't be able to get tested because they won't be able to pay for it.
