The Trump administration is not abandoning federally funded coronavirus testing sites, the administration's COVID-19 testing "czar" said Wednesday.

Adm. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, said that even though the government will stop directly funding 13 community-based coronavirus testing sites, the amount of testing will not decrease, and the sites should not lose resources.

"We are not withdrawing support," Giroir said. "We are providing federal support in a different way."

Giroir said the sites, which are located in Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado and Pennsylvania, will be supported by the $11 billion Congress allocated for testing and contact tracing, just like hundreds of other sites across the country.

1. Which was money that was for states' expenses

from earlier Covid interventions that was to be reimbursed. Seems like another way to fuck the states.

2. In other words

Yeah we're closing the sites, but we came up with this lame ass excuse to cover our asses. Please let this nightmare end!

7. Yep.

Don't listen to a word they say. Watch what they do.

3. Yup, keeping the moronic Executive Branch of the administration

consistent with "I take no responsibility!" and hopefully setting up wild State competition for resources? Perhaps giving McConnell an excuse to bring the second "stimulation" legislation to the table while so much else sits idly by in his In-box...
