Harvard epidemiologist: U.S. needs to produce COVID-19 tests "the way we build jets and bombs"

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Dr. Michael Mina is an epidemiologist at Harvard University. And he says we need to build a new way of testing if we want to get a handle on the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. His plan? Use the mighty power of the federal government and the wallet of the Department of Defense to produce virus tests on a macro scale. Dr. Michael Mina joins KYW In Depth to break down what's wrong with how we're using the current COVID-19 test, what the better option is, and how fast we could get a handle on the spread of the disease if we used the full power of the United States to act decisively against the virus.
