As of today, the US has tested a grand total of 445 people for COVID-19. We're a country of 327 million, guys. Most of our major travel hubs won't have tested a single person.pic.twitter.com/tqihvzZp7K

We have absolutely no idea how many COVID-19 cases there are in the US, because unlike everyone else, the US is essentially not testing for COVID-19. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/covid-19-coronovirus-test.html …pic.twitter.com/zLIO72m4aY

The test itself is relatively simple, there are facilities in every major metro that could test 100s per day and establish baseline, then monitor, but: Sampling is a complex issue. Pre-analytical biosafety is critical. Nobody's asking for help, or offering to cover costs.
