France: Macron has companies retool manufacturing lines to make CV19 test swabs...

...wants enough swabs by May 1st to test the entire country.

The you tube video is of a family owned business that producees cotton balls that has retooled their manufacturing line to make test swabs.

If France can do this, why can't the orange ass institure the Defense Production Act for few compoanies here to do the same. I really think sometimes that hew wants us to die.
