>> thanks for having me.
yes, we do need to increase
capacity but i think most
important is deploying it
effectively as well.
i think just to randomly test,
of course, is not necessarily
optimizing resources.
i think we need to test but we
also need to test wisely.
david: way back in march, you
wrote a piece that
overregulation was inhibiting
testing, that there were so many
regulations affecting tests that
it was just clogging up the
whole system.
they are bringing new testing
methods online.
have those roadblocks been
removed?
>> oh, yeah.
we got off to a slow start but
what we have accomplished is
truly remarkable.
once the private sector was
freed up to test, we had an
explosion in testing.
we have done at least according
to one source, almost 55 million
tests in this country.
that is unprecedented for a new
disease.
it's actually a remarkable
accomplishment.
david: it is indeed.
