Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told lawmakers the U.S. testing system for coronavirus is “failing” and not yet ready to ramp up to test more Americans.

“The idea of anyone getting it easily the way people in other countries are doing it we’re not setup for that,” Fauci testified before the House Oversight Committee.

He also just testified that a testing system that has patients crowding into their doctors' offices isn't going to cut it.

“The system was geared for the individual doctor, patient," Fauci said. "What we’re going through now transcends that. We need to do more than that.”

What a clusterfuck (thank you to Dr. Fauci for keeping it real, though).

1. I'm hoping they were already aware. I do appreciate Dr.Fauci's

honesty.

2. The South Koreans are doing the drive-thru method

which keeps people out of doctors' offices.

We should have set up these things weeks ago. But I guess if we don't have any of the test kits, it's a moot point.
