Don't worry, we have the best tests. They are truly great. Everybody will get a test if they want a test. There's no other country that has tests like ours.

And then you have China’s tests which some countries have discovered are faulty, and their virus numbers are a sham.

Nobody can catch a break here.

Schools are to be opened in the second phase. The information is readily available.
Great idea to have large number of people together to protest during a contagious pandemic!

Exactly, because it only tests for right now. You test right this second, and you're negative, that does not mean you're fine until next year. You could get it the next minute.

And those same people will say "why did the numbers rise dramatically?" after that point.

Funny we can make tanks and warships and fighter jets like they're 3D printed, but we cannot seem to make nickel masks or test kits?! Employers have to supply masks to their employees by MANDATE. We are all scrambling to find some. Do you think there may be liability later if we pass out masks that are not rated as PPE for COVID and staff gets sick?! It's a guarantee! Every employer, school district, college is fighting over masks now, scrambling to get ANY masks and they are all backordered from August to December. Many in the real world are pissed he's issuing a mandate most cannot fill properly. That's the reality. I was on with my network of vendors and mfgs and they could only toss up their hands and say "order what you like, no idea when we can fulfill it or at what price." And price isn't even a consideration now, we'll pay!! The push has been to get acceptance of the KN95 mask. Meets China (oy vay) requirements, but not FDA. FDA just approved use of them 1st week in April, but those are pretty much long gone already too. Next up, cloth masks with your company logo or Motorhead on them. Exceptionalism in action.
I definitely agree

That's stating the obvious. I was not stating the obvious. There are plenty of false negatives reported.
