Getting the test was difficult enough here in California. A bigger problem that isn't being discussed is the delay to get the results. I had a test 10-days ago and still do not have results. Obviously, still self-isolating.

The local health county department have taken over issuing the results. Yesterday, after multiple calls they told me to call the hospital as they don't have an answer. Was able to contact someone today at the hospital - they told me to call the local health department again.

The city keeps issuing updates/running daily conferences with new data (more than likely 1-2 weeks old).

If the US had enough tests at the start - we would probably still be seeing similar data points in the news as the backend infrastructure of issuing results is in no way able to handle the amount of cases as is.
