You send out products when they are available. Stock of items is up from only being able to fulfill only to hospitals…
Oh man I read “rape” not “rapid” and that really changed the story for me real fkn fast
This rapid test is pointless. It’s has low accuracy and Covid has already mutated.
oh no, mutated to be 0.001 percent more fatal than the already 0.0001 percent death rate?
@Christian Wechter Know what? It has mutated? Or accuracy rate?
@Aubert Hartmann Its about the test not working, not about how deadly it is. We will be constantly chasing this virus.
@Memento Mori it is a FLU.
@Aubert Hartmann Yes not all flu viruses will mutate some of them just die off. Like Pig flu, swine flu, bird flu. Some of them get stronger and continue to morph ahead of the host, like our common flu virus.
I was getting all excited for another infrastructure week
NOVEMBER 2019! 200,000 RIP
@Alex Duey when first Corona virus sickness reported in China! REAL EARLY!!
@Alex Duey dingus too busy spinning his scandals & blaming president Obama to pay a-fkn- ttention
@my musicAh i see what your saying now, good point
The orignal numbers back in February estimated deaths around 250k 🤷♀️
@Burkies827 Oh Lord have mercy! Sorrowful times for honest Americans. Do what you can to be well my friend. God bless.
Didn’t he want to SLOW DOWN the testing ?
you cannot trust this con man. he once boasted he never met putin, but he did meet him and called him a nice man after a conversation post miss universe event in moscow.
Trump will say anything for his benefit-PATHETIC!
No. He wanted testing. American people wanted testing. So…here ya go. Get it while its hot baby!
@Javy C You can meet a lot of nice people in life and strongly disagree with them on every level.
@Burkies827 Trump, “slow down the testing”. Trump, “if you remove the blue states from the chart we are doing very well again Covid”
Trump, “it is what it is”
I’ll believe it when I see it. Feels like a rerun of seven months ago. Tests are coming…
yeah, just like his rapid testing in parking lots never happened. or his google website. what idiot still supports this con man.
I feel ya but I believe this is an international announcement. fingers crossed!

no offense Meagan, but I took my rose-colored glasses off about COVID-19 early April 2020.
Have you not been able to get a test?? LoL they have testing sites all over the place. If you feel sick…stay home 🤷♀️ Thats all they tell you to do if you are positive anyway.
Too little too late.
We don’t need a damn test 45. We need money to rebuild the economy an use the Real vaccine, stop spraying an God will heal the land.
Better Call Nancy and Chuck and tell them vaca is over 🤷♀️
A little too late..
Liar
Stop wasting tests on pro sports.
Another huge LIE 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Just reelection hype that is 7 months late to show he cares about the virus.
He and the republican senate are getting blown out of the water in about a month. You thought 2018 was a change wait until November! In 2021 trump will have his assets frozen as he is charged with everything that gave manafort a life sentence in prison. The IRS will swoop down and relive him of his estate and holdings and then go after family holdings recently transferred, his kids are going to wish he died 5 years ago an never saw the presidency. Trump with all his corruption will die in prison and the party that embraced him will be moved out of power wave after wave with each 2 year election.
As for testing, the virus is so wide spread you need daily test strips you can spit on every morning that are at least 80% accurate to determine how you act that day. 3 consecutive positive tests and you quarantine until they are not for at least 3 consecutive tests. Crazy that states are opening everything up to normal, my republican controlled state is all open in a week, about 800 new cases a day, 120,000 have been infected and 10 a day die.
Hi Doug.
With all the fear of Rusian and others interfering in our past elections, the Democrats finally came up with the “Perfect” fail-safe election system… MAIL in Voting…If you don’t believe that, just watch MSM All but Guarantee it…
6-months too late buddy.
He said he would lock up Hillary. Instead we are locked up in2020. Satan’s plan is unfolding before our eyes. Get right w the Most High. Satan’s team is on the field and has the ball
This rapid test is pointless. It’s has low accuracy and Covid has already mutated.
Says who under what evidence?
@Silly Lumko An easy search and the info will come up. You can pick whatever source you feel comfortable with.
Yeah that’s awesome I’m still waiting on my test results.
Trump should have done this a long time ago! Its too late to kiss our bottoms now that he wants our votes😡 Biden 2020🌊💙
