llinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said that hes ready to simply take matters into his own hands after the federal government has failed to meet its promise of millions of test kits.
Right now, all of the experts point to 10,000 tests to the standard that we need to achieve, he said in prepared remarks on Sunday afternoon.
Again, I want to be frank with you, he continued. Where we are now is not where I want to be. Every day we arent hitting 10,000 tests or more is a day we are not able to get answers to get past this current crisis. And to be clear, the loss of essentially the entire month of February in the effort to scale up robust testing and the exponential spread that followed was a profound failure of the federal government.
