The initial goal was both to flatten the curve and to ramp up wide scale testing.
The federal government has largely failed in the latter, you can't reopen if you can't isolate and so we've wasted lots of the time that was gained.
- RickJWagner 6y agoAccording to today's RealClearPolitics, the US has administered 9,444,525 tests, by far the most listed. The second closest is Germany, with 2,755,770. 'Largely failed' doesn't seem fair. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ https://www.realclearpolitics.com/

Germany is 32k to the US 25k. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ We should probably also consider the number of tests in the most affected areas but I have no numbers on that.
