The WHO actually had tests that worked. CDC refused those and chose to independently redevelop their own. Then those didn't work, they still kept trying, while also blocking states from using their own tests that also worked.

The states with "local outbreaks" (NY, CA, WA) are the ones that told the CDC to get bent and did it anyway. It's everywhere, the states with low case numbers just aren't testing for it.

This is what I can't get people around me to understand.

No cases near me simply means no one has been tested for it at this point.
