Bill Gates says that US testing data is 'bogus' because it still takes 3 to 4 days to get results
that in order to fully "remobilize the economy," the US needs to be testing 20 million people per day by mid-summer.
Gates said that although the US is conducting a greater number of tests per day, current testing doesn't accurately reflect the population, particularly those in low-income areas. "The United States does not prioritize who gets tested," he said. "And the United States does not make sure you get results in 24 hours.", and it can take several days before people are told whether they have tested positive or negative.
