Today’s presser toward the end, Dr Brix:

“And I just want to thank Administrator Verma – Seema Verma – who went through with us, and thanks to the lab directors, they really explained to us: highly technical difficulty to run some of these big pieces of equipment. Because you have to allocate the samples, you have to centrifuge, you have to put them on the machine. It takes a tech full-time. At $50 a test, it wasn't enough to hire another technician to run the machine full-time. So at $100 a test, it is.”

First, transcript substituted ‘allocate’ when Brix said ‘aliquot’ which is a scientific term for dividing a sample. Second, has this woman even been in a laboratory? She seems mystified by standard equipment and procedures. Aliquoting, centrifuging, then a standard PCR test is taught at college level for a Molecular Biology degree. The US has STEM degree graduates who are capable of running these tests but kept from these jobs by gatekeepers who require ‘Certification’ based on California lab standards designed to funnel only a small cadre of candidates into the positions. Then add the fact that the lab tech who runs the test isn’t allowed to ‘diagnose’ as that needs to be done by a licensed pathologist and you have the reason for the backlog of tests that will only get worse as more people are tested. Point of care testing will speed things up but are not as accurate. How many are dying because our medical system is severely broken due to being controlled by special interests?
