Congress livid over lags in coronavirus testing

Congressional Republicans and Democrats were outraged on Thursday over the country's significant lag in coronavirus testing, following closed-door briefings from U.S. health officials about the ongoing pandemic.

The simmering frustrations from the twin briefings spilled into public view on the House and Senate sides of the Capitol, where lawmakers began shutting down their offices and tours and other public visits were scrapped indefinitely.

"They're ramping up, but they're still saying it's two weeks before we can get widespread testing," Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said, adding that President Donald Trump was "not accurate" when he said all Americans who want to get tested can get one.
