Hahn is now the commissioner of the FDA. He should have stayed in practice because as an administrator he has no clue to what he is doing.

Tests of “frankly dubious quality” have flooded the American market, said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. Many of them, akin to home pregnancy tests, are easy to take and promise rapid results....
These tests came out of China? I am not surprised they are not delivering what they promise. China does not require quality control of commercial products. It opened it's own FDA about a year or so ago.
The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) (click here) is the Chinese agency for regulating drugs and medical devices (formerly the China Food and Drug Administration or CFDA). The predecessor to the NMPA was initially founded in 1998 to oversee drugs and medical devices....
China is an emerging economy with great hopes and ambitions, but, they are not up to speed in the way the USA is SUPPOSED to be. There is an administration in the White House that basically doesn't care about the people so much as "managing the people" for the next election.
Whatever happened to Underwriters Laboratories? I have never been more serious. This is a non-profit organization that when tasked to help will find the best scientists and test all the COVID TESTS to establish the best product for the states. THE STATES ARE IN CHARGE HERE. We can go on and on about Trump's misdeeds, but, that doesn't do anyone any good.
So, the states have to form a coalition and hire UL to carry out quality control. UL will probably need some direction from Dr. Fouchi in order to determine what the best product for testing looks like, but, that is the USA under Trump. YOU ARE ALL ON YOUR OWN!
We employ exacting scientific processes and the highest ethical principles (click here) to help create a better world. As safety challenges and concerns expand to include sustainability, well-being, connected technologies and security, we provide broad leadership, deep expertise and vital services to guide these transformations.
Fueled by our mission of working for a safer world, we are trusted partners in solving our customers’ and stakeholders’ most critical challenges. We believe that when choices are empowered by insight and opportunity, the potential to realize responsible innovation and better living is endless.
To fulfill our mission, UL delivers business solutions and our nonprofit conducts independent research and shares scientific knowledge broadly. For more information about our nonprofit activities, visit UL.org....
The states need an open relationship with the US House and Senate to bring about funding that will see them through this emergency. Basically, the states are doing what the federal government should do and they need the money the federal government usually has to carry out vital services to the states and people.
This is terrible and more than likely it isn't going to get better so long as we have a federal executive branch that disregards the authority of science in this emergency.
China is not a reliable partner. Not because it is not willing to be part of the cure, but, it's commercial companies are not based on sound ETHICS. We witnessed the dog food debacle a long time ago. When it comes to imports from China it should be limited to consumer items and not consumables or medicine. China is not in that stage of development. It is at best an emerging economy.
Look. China bought a pork dynasty in North Carolina to feed its people. Hello? What is Europe doing?
After 911, New York City formed it's own foreign intelligence bureau. It is that type of effort necessary by the states to bring about a response to the COVID emergency. The states have to build a coalition of people they can trust to investigate all the answers needed in this emergency. The governors cannot simply do this and nothing else. Not with more danger before them in prematurely opening their states.
In the meantime, all essential personnel like police and firefighters have to have PPE that protects them as well. These professions require different and effective PPE and not the same as the hospital workers. This is what needs to occur. Firefighters have Scott Air Packs (click here) and when not appropriate practice social distancing.
