        Because in the US everything is about money and Politics. They always get in that way of what is beneficial for the common good.

        If the current round of social-distancing measures works, the pandemic may ebb enough for things to return to a semblance of normalcy. Offices could fill and bars could bustle. Schools could reopen and friends could reunite. But as the status quo returns, so too will the virus.

        This doesn’t mean that society must be on continuous lockdown until 2022. But “we need to be prepared to do multiple periods of social distancing,” says Stephen Kissler of Harvard.

        It isn't anymore. It used to be, but with students treating college as a service they are costumers of, tightening immigration laws, exploitative approach to PhDs and tightening research budgets, US as biomedical research and production center is out.

        A profiteering powerhouse. Testing has never been profitable thus it has never been pursued or developed.
