You say that there are no sides, but end by railing on trump.
You say that the reason for failure doesn't matter, but provide a list of reasons.
You claim that health insurance is the cause of no testing, when the article stated that the CDC refused to conduct or approve testing.
If you sentiment is that this is not the time to focus on partisanship, I wholeheartedly agree. If you sentiment is we should be solution minded, I wholeheartedly agree.
The focus should be on determining what we can do NOW to save the most lives. There will be plenty of time later to assign blame and discuss long term fixes.
He means it's not a partisan thing. Trump is still the person calling the shots.

I think you're misunderstanding here on what the reasons he's referring to, which are why we're in this situation - those don't matter. The reasons that he provided are the reasons why this is an issue.
It appears that there simply aren't enough test kits available for wide-spread testing, so it's rational for CDC to try to use what they have wisely. It also appears that we'd be in that situation no matter who had won in 2016.
People fuck up, that's what people do, leaders catch and acknowledge failure early and try to fix it. Unfortunately, at this point, people will die that didn't have to. And that's going to be because:
1. Tons of people weren't tested that should have been.
2. People can't afford to get a test because of the health insurance situation in this country.
Aggressive no cost testing would help, I'm sure trump is going to announce that here any minute for a problem that he doesn't think is real.
