The Trump Administration’s COVID-19 testing strategy was revealed this week.

It leaves the states largely responsible for testing and some officials worry states will need to compete for supplies.

@apoorva_nyc and @danielleofri are live with us this morning.

@apoorva_nyc @danielleofri .@apoorva_nyc: "If we really want to contain this epidemic, we need to test...on a very regular basis."

@apoorva_nyc @danielleofri .@apoorva_nyc: "States have generally been in charge of public health...but to expect them to negotiate with national and international supply chains...that's unreasonable."

@apoorva_nyc @danielleofri .@apoorva_nyc: "Only half of people said they would take a vaccine if it becomes available...a lot of what we're hearing is people saying things are being fast-tracked and [they're] nervous."

@apoorva_nyc @danielleofri .@danielleofri: "The goal is to look at how we did and how we can do better next time. And it's not to detract from the incredible work doctors and nurses did...but we owe it to our patients...to look at how we can improve."
