'That's just not true.' GOP Gov. Hogan contradicts Trump claim that testing problems are fixed
Source: USA Today
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, said Tuesday on NPR's Morning Edition that President Donald Trump was incorrect in saying coronavirus testing problems had been resolved.
"Yeah, that's just not true. I mean I know that they've taken some steps to create new tests, but they're not actually produced and distributed out to the states." Hogan said, when host Rachel Martin asked him about Trump's assertions. "No state has enough testing."
In a coronavirus task force briefing Monday, Trump said America's coronavirus testing was better "than any country in the world."
"We have done more tests, by far, than any country in the world, by far. Our testing is also better than any country in the world," Trump said on Monday.

(7,505 posts)I know he has loyalty to state citizens, but what about the nation. Prominent Republicans have to tell the truth to turn this thing around. Todays numbers are again gonna be horrifying.

(120 posts)MINUS 45, I love it. Reminds me of the definition of a nebbish as a person who when he walks into a room, you feel like somebody just left!

Particularly in TX, AZ, and too many other states.
NY and WA lead, but even they have only tested about 1% of the their residents.
Running more tests than a country like Italy (about a fifth of our population) isn't a great feat.
For test and other statistic tracking (including historical data) this is the best site I've found (project spearheaded by the Atlantic):
