今天美国这个强大之国家正靣对中央和地方政府协调上之大问题，虽然总统已签署紧急法案拨款到地方，但是医疗物资还是严重不足，目前确诊病例已超过十万人以上，远超了中国大陆的八万二千人。

我们呼吁川晋总统更要正视一般平民老百姓之窘情，他们失去工作面临疾病挑战，政府要更快更多的伸出援手，否则后果将会动摇国本。

New Test Kits Are On The Way

The FDA has just approved a Coronavirus test that can provide test result in less than 15 minutes. The new diagnostic test could greatly accelerate testing for Coronavirus in America and allow for the rapid review of test results in the doctors’ offices. But at the same time, the country still has a critical shortage of medical masks and swabs to collect patients’ specimens.

The test manufacturer Abbott Labs said it expects to deliver 50,000 tests per day beginning next week. The machines used to run the test only weighs less than 7 pounds and could be deployed where testing is needed most.

The FDA also has approved another rapid test from the molecular diagnostics company Cepheid which provides result in 45 minutes. Most of the tests used today take anywhere from few days to a week to receive results.

The U.S. saw an increase of more than 15,000 cases in one day last week pushing the total number to more than 100,000 cases. China, by comparison, has reported 81,285 cases.

The transfer of the virus, which may have originated in bats, to humans was an unforeseen event.

Today, Americans across the nation are fighting to stay alive, while we still are experiencing a shortage of tools to fight the battle.

We strongly urge president Trump to address the needs of the less fortunate groups who need to be tested as soon as possible. At this critical time in the pandemic, we also need to depend on our governors, mayors and our frontline health workers too.
