Everything Birx just outlined is an aspiration, not a plan.
No data, no metrics, no operational specifics.

They're now claiming that "scale" is covered?? And that supply chain is all set?
Testing scale has just over doubled in the past month. It needs to get 5-10 times larger than it is now.
This is not remotely serious.

Good grief, press corps. Stop asking him about who he retweeted or whether he's going to fire Azar. Ask Birx about why the testing plan doesn't envision a drastic scale-up in testing capacity.
Wow Pence just said we have sufficient testing today for any state to enter "phase 1" of reopening.
That is....not remotely true. We're only catching around 1 in 10 cases through testing.

But look, here's the big tell.
This is the testing plan they're rolling out today.
Try to find a target figure for testing in it. There's nothing. No data. No metrics. No targets. washingtonpost.com/context/trump-…

Pence just said "maybe" we could be doing 2 million tests a week in the near future.
That's where we need to be per day, not per week. And notably that figure isn't referenced in the plan.
