Editor,

Our senior living center finally had its second round of testing July 13, after a delay of several weeks. Today, July 24, almost two weeks later, we still have not heard the results. This confirms the national dilemma concerning testing.

So true! A small business I know of in San Francisco had an employee come down with the virus. The owner immediately paid $10k to have his other 10 employees take the test in San Francisco, obtaining the results in 15 minutes. Our elders in assisted living in nursing homes and low-income essential workers, if they get tested at all, wait weeks for results. If you don't think money is at the bottom line, think again.

Very true. If Trump wouldn't have started his lying about testing, we'd be in much better shape now. And here we are, still waiting for a national pandemic plan.

We had a national pandemic plan, left by the Obama administration, but destroyed by Trump as soon as he found out about it! So jealous of President Obama's accomplishments!
