>The CDC doesn't do much local testing. Mainly they provide test kits to local labs which do the tests. Yes, but the CDC first botched their test kits and set ridiculously limited guidelines for testing (recent travel to China) that would have caught community transmission much earlier had they been widened. If this continues, we’re going to reach a point where states and local authorities are going to start ignoring the lagging directives of the CDC out of self-preservation. This already happened in NYC when they told the CDC to get bent with their botched test kits and just started manufacturing their own.
