The testing situation is much, much better and should be licked within a week. We have an FDA approved malaria drug which is showing anecdotal evidence of working in Europe, and the supplies are plentiful. There are many other drugs in development which may become available under compassionate use, and the FDA is clearly working with urgency and creativity. The medical device industry has mobilized to manufacture thousands of ventillators. The acute issue we have is protecting our healthcare workers for the next month until supplies can catch up. It is inexcusable that nearly the entire supply chain for gowns, booties, masks and shields was off-shored. This unfortunately will take time to fix. The best thing we can all do to help reduce the need for protective gear for our healthcare workers is to avoid contact with each other.
Keep in mind that in addition to technology, the US has a huge worldwide competitive advantage in biotech, pharma, diagnostics and medical devices. I am confident that these industries will lead us out of this mess. We are comparatively better off that many other countries.
