> “I want to thank Google. Google is helping to develop a website, it’s gonna be very quickly done, unlike websites of the past, to determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location,” Trump said. It's important to watch the press conference on this topic for context. The website is supposed the be the front line in the CDC's revamped testing effort. There are still far too few tests for everyone to get one, so they are being rationed. The website was to be the first stop made by a person who wanted to get tested. No website, no coordinated testing effort. All indications are that the president's announcement was premature and caught Alphabet, Verily, and Google flat-footed. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/13/google-says-its-not-publishing-a-national-scale-coronavirus-site-anytime-soon-after-trump-announcement/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/13/google-says-its-not-p... The president's bald-faced attempt to use this bogus announcement to elevate the stock market should be transparent to anyone paying attention. The presser was held just before the market close, just for this reason. This is very, very bad.
