To stop testing asymptomatic people who were exposed to known positives.
The task force issued the directive when Fauci was incapacitated- under general anesthesia.

What’s the rationale? Focus maybe?
And will that rationale be relevant when Abbott can produce 50M 15 minute $5 tests a month by October?

If it came with a confession that we need to ration test capacity because we don’t have enough then it would at least be understandable in the short term. But they’re not saying that.
The task force mentioned ‘new research’ but didn’t specify any,
maybe they meant polling?Fauci isn’t happy, since we know asymptomatic people can be infectious.

Testing. The TAT has been climbing, clogging the system.

Like I said, if it came with an acknowledgement that we don’t have sufficient testing capacity it would be understandable.

Think about all the testing infrastructure that might just be on the brink of getting wiped out in a blink of an eye by Abbott.

I think it is safe to assume that Mr. Trump personally did this for evil reasons.
Probably because he is racist
