"I Have To Plead For Tests" - NYC ER Doc Warns "There's Going To Be 1000s Of US Cases By Next Week"

Dr. Matt McCarthy, an infectious disease physician at an NYC Emergency Room, and author of the best-selling book "Superbugs", unleashed a storm of man-on-the-ground doom-speak about the Covid-19 virus spread across the US this morning on CNBC.
"Before I came here this morning, I was in the emergency room seeing patients," he said on CNBC's Squawk Box.
"I still do not have a rapid diagnostic test available to me."
Alongside, former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, McCarthy pointed to problems identified with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) diagnostic tests for the virus. The CDC sent test kits earlier in the outbreak to public health labs around the country, but those kits were problematic and potentially inaccurate, CDC officials have since said.
