"I’m so sick of these politicians who at their own whim close everything. Like the mayor in Knoxville, TN. She will get paid no matter how bad the economy gets. She won’t be in the unemployment line getting 250 a week. These people disgust me." (twitter.com)

Isn't this largely due to not enough test kits and medical supplies, like masks, being available?

In my opinion, yes for the testing. As of March 17, Tennessee had 73 confirmed cases, with plans to open a bunch of new testing sites.

The virus has been most concentrated in the 21-30 year old age group, with 162 cases reported. Among those 71-80, there have been 25 confirmed cases, according to the state's data.

At the hospital I work at, covid testing takes a WEEK to come back. I was floored. How is that even remotely helpful?
