New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo expressed his frustration Wednesday with the Trump administration’s failure to provide adequate testing for the coronavirus and said his state would begin contracting with private labs.
“We’re not in a position where we can rely on the CDC or the FDA to manage this testing protocol,” Cuomo said at a news conference in Albany.
“On testing, when you look at the experience in China, you look at the experience in South Korea, what changed the trajectory of the incline of the number of cases? It was a tremendous amount of testing and investigation. China, 200,000 tests per day. South Korea, 15,000 tests per day. They were so aggressive on testing that they actually identified the people who tested positive, isolated them and then ran down the track of who those people may have contacted. Massive testing.
Story continuesCuomo said Wednesday that questions remained about why more tests were not made available at the start of the outbreak in the United States. While Vice President Mike Pence has spoken glowingly about his interactions with Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Cuomo’s criticisms are not likely to be taken well by Trump.
