Then you should be mad at the Governor of Florida, not Trump.
It's not the CDC refusing to test here.
I am indeed upset with the the FL governor in this case. But I'm also upset with this administration's initial response and blaming the Democrats and media for reporting on the virus, calling their reporting a hoax, in order to tamp it down because it's an inconvenient truth. I think he's finding out that facts and science matter. Thankfully, he's dropped that meme and has realized, or his handlers have realized, the seriousness of the situation. If the CDC had been properly funded and allowed to do its job, actions would have been taken in January when all this started.

The CDC has been properly funded. Funding has actually increased year over year. Why do you have such a hard time grasping simple facts?
good Lord......do you just believe everything the liberal media tells you?
repeating this over and over...is qualifying that Trump is right about the liberal media
you keep making Trump's case....

Again, the budget has not been cut, I have no idea why some of you keep bringing this up.
My apologies for the misrepresentation. Thankfully, although Trump has proposed cuts, Congress came through. This article explains the staffing cuts to various departments including the CDC.
"In May 2018, Trump ordered the NSC’s entire global health security unit shut down, calling for reassignment of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer and dissolution of his team inside the agency. The month before, then-White House National Security Advisor John Bolton pressured Ziemer’s DHS counterpart, Tom Bossert, to resign along with his team. Neither the NSC nor DHS epidemic teams have been replaced. The global health section of the CDC was so drastically cut in 2018 that much of its staff was laid off and the number of countries it was working in was reduced from 49 to merely 10. Meanwhile, throughout 2018, the U.S. Agency for International Development and its director, Mark Green, came repeatedly under fire from both the White House and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. And though Congress has so far managed to block Trump administration plans to cut the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by 40 percent, the disease-fighting cadres have steadily eroded as retiring officers go unreplaced."

It's all still a **** show.
Bolton again. That guy just keeps finding new ways of getting Americans killed.
Two more cases in WA state. Men in their 60s in critical condition. It's just a cold people. Nothing to worry about.
Were/are they wonderful women?
