The death toll from the coronavirus on U.S. soil leapt to six people Monday — all in Washington state, prompting King County to declare a state of emergency. At least 15 different states have now identified cases, with over 100 known cases countrywide. The Centers for Disease Control has come under fire for issues with its original diagnostic test kit, which then took weeks to rectify. The CDC also removed statistics on its website Monday tracking the number of people tested for coronavirus. This weekend, the agency said fewer than 500 Americans have been tested so far, but Trump claimed Monday a million tests might be administered by the end of the week. South Korea is reportedly administering 10,000 tests per day.

In New York, where the first case of infection was confirmed this weekend, one man has taken to self-quarantining himself in his Brooklyn apartment, after the CDC refused to test him despite having symptoms that appear to be consistent with coronavirus. This is New York City infectious disease doctor Matt McCarthy.

Dr. Matt McCarthy: “Before I came here this morning, I was in the emergency room seeing patients. I still do not have a rapid diagnostic test available to me.”

Joe Kernen: “Well, that’s easy to do, is it not? Is it hard to manufacture?”

Dr. Matt McCarthy: “It is easy to do for some countries. What happened in the United States is that the CDC created a test, sent the test out to 50 states and then said, 'Oh, hold up. Don't use it. Let us fix it.’ It’s now March.”

Joe Kernen: “OK, how quickly can you get on track now, Matt?”

Dr. Matt McCarthy: “We hear that it’s coming very soon. But I’m here to tell you right now, at one of the busiest hospitals in the country, I don’t have it at my fingertips. I still have to call the Department of Health. I still have to make my case, plead to test people. This is not good.”

President Trump meanwhile continues to rail against Democrats over the coronavirus. At a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday, he accused Democratic lawmakers of being “fringe globalists” who would prefer to keep borders open, which he says will prevent the containment of the virus.

This comes after he claimed that criticism of his handling of the outbreak is part of a Democratic “hoax.” The global death toll for the coronavirus has topped 3,000, with over 90,000 confirmed cases.
