It is really unclear to me whether the federal test kits will be sent out this weekend or next? But anyway in the same article a commercial company located in New Jersey......


"Lab testing giant Quest Diagnostics Inc. said Thursday that it has developed its own diagnostic for the coronavirus. The Secaucus, New Jersey-based company expects to begin doing coronavirus testing on samples from hospitals and clinics on Monday.''

But all states doing their own tests, these presumptive positives are still being verified by CDC. How will they manage if they can’t get through the few tested so far? Thanks what’s on the mind of Senators it seems.

The testing situation is a travesty. Look how many South Korea tests a day...10K? And they have drive through testing....we are so behind.....just unbelievable.
