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."

The pandemic has shed new light on the holes in our healthcare system.

So how do we fix it?

@Penn's Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the chief architects of the Affordable Care Act, joins to discuss a way forward.

Tune in at 10.
@Penn .@ZekeEmanuel on the recent WHO statements about asymptomatic transmission:

"It was an unfortunate statement...people are most infectious a few days before they get symptoms of COVID-19 and can easily transmit the virus before knowing they're sick."
@Penn @ZekeEmanuel .@ZekeEmanuel: "To get the public health measures in place is going to be essential to having a vibrant economy. Unfortunately, I think it's been a little garbled. We've made a tension [between] economics and public health."
