the federal government to shoulder most of the responsibility for testing and tracing future coronavirus infections, arguing that they lack the funding and the expertise the federal government possesses.
The ability to repeatedly and widely test at-risk populations is the cornerstone of any responsible plan to reopen the nation's economy. The president has called on states to lift stay-at-home orders and reopen, but most governors still think it is too early. Trump has angrily rejected this criticism. "States, not the Federal Government, should be doing the Testing," he said in a tweet last week.
As several states formally begin reopening this week, the ongoing lack of testing capabilities is one of the key factors keeping many families, employers and institutions from resuming business as usual, even though stay-at-home orders have officially been lifted.
