Physician orders should be tested because of exposure to coronavirus or the vulnerability that they may have been exposed to the virus. The difficulty we run into is not the Testing Process, its apparently coming to a stop and were running out of test kits. There has been a contact made with the dudes center for Disease Control to determine why were knocking responses for additional kids in our state to test people who are trulyn vulnerable. I dont believe her situation could be unique, imagine other states are facing the same challenge. I reached out to the center for Disease Control and had a lengthy conversation about the situation that were facing,ac originally the coronavirus test kit faced a shortage that was necessary to detect the initial test, it turns out were now facing a new challenge in an issue of the Global Supply of in zions that are used by laboratories to analyze the test results. This is a commercial available enzyme in short supply that are reliable i come to the rescue per the Testing Process is going to stop if they cannot take the initial test results and test them to see if there positive or negative. They are looking for alternative ways to meet the need, its critically important issue in the lack of the enzymes limit the test across the United States. The service at the cdc told me the situation is not unique to a country. It is a commercially c produced product and theyre looking for other sources either within the United States or without as quickly as possible. This is a marketdriven problem in cdc is looking across the market for sources to solve the problem. From the time there is nothing in sight from illinois or places that have ran into the same issue where people desperately need to be tested to determine whether there positive for the virus. In testing even if it takes place cannot go through the laboratory approval. Because. The supplies they are depleted at this moment, its an urgent issue as i mentioned repeatedly, theyre looking for optional alternative platforms for the laboratory testing. I dont want to speculate what that means, its far beyond my personal expertise. But its an indication of a desperate situation in many places. It is one we need to respond to quickly. To argue there is enough test kits that have been distributed is questionable to start with but even if distributed and cannot be analyzed, it does not give us the information necessary to practice americans who may be vulnerable. The bottom line is this, this administration is facing a challenge with test kits that have many unanswered questions, how do other countries in the world, create anothers come up with test kits early on to address this problem in the United States did not. Why did we not accept these test kits and other countries that apparently come up with results that are needed and necessary. I dont know the answers and only time will provide them to us. But in the meantime we have appropriated all the funds in more and asked the Trip Administration to deal with this issue on a bipartisan basis and thats exactly what we should do, but from start to finish we need straight answers from everyone in thee administration and outside about the Public Health threat, credibility is the first step toward dealing with the Public Health challenge, such as the one we face today. The test kit issue is central to bringing the situation under control, the sooner we get straight answers with good information and can respond quickly the better for our nation.
