Summary
They're going to be doing the testing," Trump said, referring to state and local governments. "The federal government cannot wipe their hands of this and say, 'Oh, the states are responsible for testing,'" Cuomo said. The White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, Deborah Birx, on Thursday called the development of testing "a partnership between the state and the federal government" and said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would deploy to "every state" to support state governments in determining whether it was safe to roll back restrictions. Birx said the Food and Drug Administration had been working with states to determine whether alternative components could be used to conduct tests -- such as cotton swabs like Q-tips -- and to identify laboratories and "all the things that they need."
