1/4: It is unacceptable that American patients and doctors have to use Google to find answers about coronavirus and test kits.

2/4: I asked @CDCgov Director Dr. Redfield if the administration has plans to conduct drive-thru testing, and to produce and distribute more test kits so we are not overwhelming America's emergency rooms.

3/4: (We know most people use emergency rooms for point of care, especially in non-Medicaid expansion states like TN.) His response was disconcerting to say the least. He stated the priority is to protect relationships between patients and doctors.

4/4: My question: So the professional, monetary, relationship comes before public health?
