Once again, just saying things, or just "ordering" them does not make them magically appear.

Do you really, truly believe if the state of WA could just press a button and order something, they wouldn't have already done that? Do you think that you have solved the crisis?

Do you think there is a lack of tests because no one told the states that some company on the internet is offering them for 20 cents?

Wanna buy a bridge?
i called IDT today and they were in stock. my workplace orders primers, probes and synthetic gene constructs from them weekly.. try it yourself. they also supply the CDC.
On the contrary, ordering things pretty much does just make them ‘magically’ appear; ever hear of a company called Amazon?

‘Some company on the internet’

Quote:
ecretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said Thursday that he believes between CDC tests and those from a private company, IDT, there will be a nationwide capacity to test 475,000 people by the end of the week. Azar said he hopes IDT will ramp up to a million or a million and a half people by the end of next week.

He explained that the test involves examining multiple specimens from one person. For example, in order to test 400,000 people, the IDT test will process 1 million specimens.

They are. We have a shortage of tests, and too many tests would over run the labs.

Sure, you better tell Mike Pence about this. He can make Trump look better quickly and cheaply. They won't need those billions since you know things!

You should volunteer immediately for the team in the WH.....I mean it. If you have a quick solution like this it would help millions of Americans.

Ohhhh, medical equipment off eBay. What could go wrong?

You should call the hospitals and offer yourself as a consultant.

Psst: do you not know that ebay is a huge repository of China made knock-offs?

Did you know there was a HUGE bust in Thailand of them repackaging used masks for sale in the original packaging?

I didn't say impressed with their airline travel restrictions or lack there of. They are at least testing their people, closing schools and many towns in the Northern part of Italy are on lock down. Is any country prohibiting air travel to all other countries? Its not just China to be concerned about.

We are real conservatives - the independent man! We need to MAKE our own machines from scratch.

But really there is little need if we can convince Jim Bakker to sell his cheaper or give away the formula. I cannot imagine that a Man of God cannot fix this stat.

My Gut, which is usually more right than Trumps, tells me Jim can come up with something....stat.

Please - go to twitter and tell Pence and Trump how they can look good. Quick!

it’s a machine that heats and cools and measures fluorometric emissions. why would the chinese make knockoffs of years-old PCR machines? that’s sheer stupidity.

feel free to respond to #2934 if you’re able to do so.

Why would anyone make a knock off of anything? Because there are people who would buy it. YOU seem to think it is a good idea.

I'll have to go back and look at your numbered post that seems important to you.
