People are disgusted and embarrassed by the Fake News Media, as headed by the @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @comcast & MSDNC, @ABC, @CBSNews and more. They no longer believe what they see and read, and for good reason. Fake News is, indeed, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 1, 2020
Yeah, that's the problem.
"In New York state, the person who tested positive was only the 32nd test we've done in this state. That is a national scandal. They're testing 10,000 a day in some countries." - ER Dr. Matt McCarthy pic.twitter.com/Yvwnp96E7d— Matt Novak (@paleofuture) March 2, 2020
A few choice excerpts from that interview. First, it seems CDC went with its own test, rather than one used by WHO; and the CDC test was so flawed they had to tell hospitals not to use it.

And there was the patient at Lackland AFB in San Antonio who was in quarantine, then released, and is now back in quarantine. Yeah, this is all going very smoothly. Oh, and:

I think it's everywhere by now. I'll go vote tomorrow if I am not too sick still got a low fever, but I'm not taking extra chances of having contact with people. I'm more worried about them than me, at this point.
