Trump Will Kill Americans With New Coronavirus Classification System

13. Here's how inadequate testing has been -- courtesy 7 weeks of DT admin refusing to act.

Most states are doing their best to play "catch up" after DT admin's resistance and incompetence in the first seven, absolutely most crucial, weeks. (Some states not so much.)

Below -- Tests per 100,000 for the states for which data could be found.

Looking at these numbers, I think it would be obvious to a fourth grader that the data is utterly inadequate. Just show them a nice visual. Like a picture of the Rose Bowl at capacity with 600 people in the crowd highlighted. And that's the "best" state.

Of course, in addition to the problem of so few tests, counties won't be comparable because testing rates and criteria haven't been uniform due to utter lack of coordination across local public health authorities.

Number of tests per 100,000

The top 5 states in testing are:

Washington 600

New York 500

Massachusetts 280

Louisiana 240

Minnesota 230
