I testified to Congress about COVID
Was surprised Rep @Jim_Jordan thought my suggestion that testing failures contributed to our economic shutdown was "partisan"
It isn't
Testing is a key step in controlling any disease outbreak
No testing--> big outbreak--> economic shutdown
"Testing was the fundamental failure that forced our country to shut down," said Dr. @ashishkjha, Dir. @HarvardGH. An economic shutdown wouldn't have been necessary if early testing had been available to identify outbreaks when they began. It's not partisan- it's #publichealth.
