gollark: I'm worried that the UK appears to not actually be doing much about coronavirus.

gollark: Apparently hospitals could test for coronavirus cheaply with stuff they generally already had available, but the FDA only allowed the CDC's tests to be used. But those had a broken component. Hospitals also had replacements for that broken bit, but the way the tests were licensed didn't allow them to be replaced. So they just limited testing to those returning from China, so they have no idea of spread.
gollark: The whole thing with the FDA/CDC managing to horribly mess up testing.
gollark: Considering what happened with the testing.
