[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]1. Which WHO test are you referring to? 
2. Where exactly are these WHO tests?[/quote]

I am not sure if you are just being argumentative or you really want to know. But a German laboratory developed a coronavirus test that was adopted by the WHO and offered to other countries. The US developed its own test which was initially flawed. I am not sure which countries are using the WHO test now, but I believe Germany is since it was developed there.

Am very interested in more info about this German test. Is there a name to it, or a company name?[/quote]

Roche Molecular Systems[/quote]

FDA approved mid-March:  https://www.medtechdive.com/news/coronavirus-roche-test-fda-emergency-use/574073/[/quote]

That perfectly demonstrates the problem. We should have been testing from January. Trump cost us the entire month of February and half of March downplaying the epidemic.

Jeff seriously who would you have tested in January

At the end of February there were 78 cases and one case of communal transmission[/quote]

I would have tested travelers from places that had COVID outbreaks. Trump repeatedly brings up his travel ban, but it still allowed 10s of thousands of travelers from China. There were obviously a great more than 78 cases by the end of February but limited testing meant they could not be identified.
