California's Failures at Testing
California, as one of the biggest states in the country, was always going to have a challenge in managing the coronavirus. After the initial horror stories that came out of New York sounded like they were from an apocalypse novel, I was hopeful that California would rise to the challenge and try to mitigate the issues. As one of the earliest states to impose quarantine orders, things seemed to be going well. Turns out, that necessarily wasn't the case when it came to testing. This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #california. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it highlights the reporting that is happening around the failures that have happened in the past concerning the virus, and how we can improve things moving forward. link to article mentioned in tweet: (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-12/california-fail-coronavirus-testing-covid-start) -
