No one has a problem with using private entities, but Trump is obviously trying to cover up the coronavirus and use this moment to jam through a ton of deregulation and juice the stock market. The CDC is actively blocking testing, and testing is just not hard.
This is not a technical problem, it is a political problem. Trump is actively blocking moving large amounts of money to states and localities and implementing paid sick leave. That is not 'the Federal government has failed.' That is a political crisis.
The rumors are that the corporate labs, who killed local labs using monopolistic practices, are withholding supply from the market in order to demand political concessions. This is not a technical problem it is a political crisis.
