My hats off to the team at Abbott. Excellent work!

We lost precious weeks in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. But it's not too late for us to make the right decisions to slow the spread.
A nationwide stay-at-home order. Increasing testing capacity. Investing in vaccine research and development.

I sincerely believe you need a new job...
I suggest volunteering as a

3. You can apologize to people you have failed

According to this Doctor on FOX NEWS it’s capable of only 4 tests/hour.
Make more calls tomorrow Senator!

Somebody decided to invite Dr. Rishi Desai onto Fox.
I don’t think they’ll be asking him back.

THREAD ON THE PATH FORWARD:
1/ Other countries taught us we cannot turn the corner on coronavirus w/o a comprehensive system of TESTING, TRACING, and QUARANTINE.
The Trump Administration has zero plan to stand up that system nationally.
That's frightening and it must change.
