That is the real problem. The FDA should be confined to its original mission, Food and Drugs, not analytical tests. The FDA got in the way, and had to have a fire lit under it, while private business could move much more quickly.

Bottom line: It is normal for the US government to develop its own disease testing under CDC. Experts in CDC are typically very good at it. But in the case of coronavirus, the US government developed a flawed test, creating lengthy delays in testing and in parallel left obstacles in place that would have shortened the delay. Meanwhile, U.S. government officials have repeatedly misled the public and policy makers. In total, more than 8 weeks were lost due to policy failure. This post explains and documents this remarkable policy failure.

Not Trumps policy...already existing policies.
