For everyone upset with the testing issues (insufficient tests) the failure belongs to the FDA. We've talked about the problem with regulations that have the force of law without actually being voted on. Some heads need to roll.

These people know what is on the line and its NOT party time! I agree Lt Col Charlie Brown, some heads need to roll!!! In Florida, to get tested you have to have a Doctor's Order... Florida is not my permanent home, so what doctor in FL is going to write me an order for a test...
There are still "games" being played! Take Sen. Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for example...it is their PARTISAN GAME!

Really? Is there "fault" to be assigned? How can you develop a test for something that doesn't yet exist? You need a sample of the "thing" you are testing for, don't you? And once you have it, it takes time to study, replicate, and kill, doesn't it? Taking all this into consideration, how does playing the "blame game" help? After all, if you're not helping, you're getting in the way, aren't you?

I agree but when you have other countries such as South Korea successfully developing and implementing testing to a much greater extent than the US one SHOULD ask "Why is that"?
"As of March 17, the U.S. had tested only about 125 people per million. South Korea had tested more than 5,000 people per million. Between early February and mid-March, the U.S. lost six crucial weeks because regulators stuck to rigid regulations instead of adapting as new information came in."
"While these rules might have made sense in normal times, they proved disastrous in a pandemic. The FDA (like numerous over-encumbered federal agencies) has been out of control for decades and apparently we needed a pandemic to bring that to light."
