Because CDC didn't authorized the local/state to perform typical RT-PCR testing[1] for COVID-19 until a few days ago and their guideline for testing COVID-19 super strict probably due to funding and they have been bottlenecked in delivering results. We know it is very expensive in the U.S. for such testings (so it's likely related the fundings are not ready, given that Trump just recently announced budget with significant cuts to CDC and WHO) and U.S. is obviously NOT prepared.[2][3] However, CT scans are a much better, cheaper and economical way in clinical settings to confirm COVID-19[1]. Results come out in minutes and in negligible costs vs. thousands of dollars for RT-PCR testing. Chinese government's website has the most comprehensive guidelines and treatments recommendations on their official website.[4] Washington State today is like the early January of Wuhan, where infections aren't officially confirmed even though it's been outbreak for weeks.
