That is confusing to me. How is it that they can test 4000 sailors on an aircraft carrier in no time flat and the folks in a prison in no time flat?

And yet, they cannot get enough testing supplies for Ochsner Medical Center where patients are incredibly sick????!!!!!

To be sure, I believe it took several days to test all of the sailors. I haven't followed up since shortly after the story broke. That didn't happen overnight.

I didn't follow the prison story but they hadn't tested everyone there last time I saw it.

I do believe in both cases they had to order enough kits to do the testing, although I don't know all of the details.
