Yeah, I knew the answer before I asked the question.
And so far, the failure to widely test is working in Trump's favor (neither bug nor feature; just sheer incompetence that will bite him in the ass by, oh, July or August).

And while we're here, let's put Maggie's comment up against reality, shall we?
The president had a significant change in tone today, which officials attribute not just to wanting the spotlight back, but to recognition of a potentially grim situation ahead. Here is what preceded it > https://t.co/fhGI2MLDP5— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 17, 2020
Here we go:
Trump is just so unbelievably bizarre. https://t.co/2a5ToMTNz4— George Conway (@gtconway3d) March 17, 2020
Sounds to me like the answer a kid gives his parents when he skipped school that day, and they ask him what he did at school.
#Presidementia #TrumpWontDebate #TrumpNotFitForOffice In addition to the YouTube replays of Trump's press briefings, be sure to check out the White House website devoted to full written transcripts of his remarks. His lack of coherence & his cognitive impairment are shocking. https://t.co/lT1YwLSd7n— John M. Talmadge, MD (@JohnMTalmadgeMD) March 17, 2020
Asked how he'd rate his response on a scale from 1 to 10, Trump says, "I'd rate it a 10." He again touts his travel restrictions on China.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 16, 2020
Again, the kid who just took the test and brags about how well he did. When the test is graded, he blames the teacher, or says the teacher hates him.
Trump: "I've been very strongly tested."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 16, 2020
Or maybe this is the "change of tone" that should be noted:
Trump: "I think a lot of the media actually has been very fair" on the coronavirus.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 16, 2020
Or this:
suddenly a new tone from Trump when asked if economy is heading into recession: "it may be"— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) March 16, 2020
Not to worry, familiar Trump was still there:
Trump: "We have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 16, 2020
False. Both with regard to pandemics generally, coronavirus pandemics in particular, and this specific coronavirus.
And the US had its first confirmed case in January. https://t.co/GipI01oUBg
And if history is any guide, will come roaring back in 3...2...1....
Yesterday I spoke with the great American Grocers and Supply Chain Executives. We are confident that supply will continue to meet demand nationwide. These beacons of our community will remain open for you, no matter what. We are working hard to remove any barriers to that effort!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 16, 2020
What barriers? The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906?
