Virus Test kits have become a political weapon but is it the weapon. From quantity to class warfare, the President’s enemies have been after the issue. But what if the problem is a feature of the swamp when it comes to this bug?

Back on Friday the 13th, when the President declared a national emergency, we learned that the test kit matter would be outsourced to the free market. The barriers erected by the swamp (CDC and FDA) were removed to free private bio-gen companies and medical facilities to solve the matter.
“We’re announcing a new partnership with [the] private sector to vastly increase and accelerate our capacity to test for the coronavirus,” the president said. “We want to make sure that those who need a test can get a test very safely, quickly, and conveniently, …
It may have been a driving factor in declaring the emergency. To get the swamp out of the way. It didn’t send the sniping by liberals and the media, however, but a former HHS official says CDC was the reason for the delay.

Government experts initially said we didn’t need mass testing. When it became obvious that we would CDC told the administration ‘we’ve got this’ but overstated their ability to deliver.
That’s not far-fetched at all. Government bureaucracies exist for that very purpose. There is no competition until there is. When the President announced he was dropping barriers The Cleveland Clinic had a test ready that would provide a result in hours instead of days.
The Trump-hater battle line then moved from tests to treatments as the FDA and CDC say we’ve not approved anything, while the President says he is pushing for official approval of the Malaria drug Chloroquine, which has proven helpful with limiting susceptibility and the severity of Coronavirus in China and South Korea, shortening downtime.
While the swamp works its slow-motion “magic” and the media shows a little leg and waves its hands to distract you, Chloroquine is already being prescribed to treat WuhanFlu in the US, by doctors making decisions on a case by case basis.
It’s all smoke and mirrors. A 24/7 stage production at the Political theater. Just like everything else we’ve been told the last three years.
The only two things you need to know should you find yourself doing battle with TDS zombies is this. Your President gave the government experts an opportunity to impress and they failed. He ordered the National Emergency to get them out of your way. And second, the CDC is part of the deep-state swamp. Top-heavy with career bureaucrats and progressive sycophants who, in the eight years under Obama, were just as incompetent then as they are now.
Then, like now, they have the media to help them hide it.
What they don’t have is a President who will hide it.
