The US could have used the WHO test in the meantime.
- m0zg 7y agoI've read that it couldn't. Those kits were never offered to the US: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/health/who-coronavirus-tests-cdc/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/health/who-coronavirus-tests-...
- officialjunk 7y agocouldn't? sounds like the US didn't even try asking. the article says: "No discussions occurred between WHO and the CDC about providing tests to the United States" and "US chose to design its own coronavirus test"
