Ask HN: Why are Lot of people in US turned away from Covid-19 testing?

I see on the Johns Hopkins covid-19 dashboard that China has 80k infections and ~3k deaths. Italy has 35k infections and ~3k deaths!! One tested/acted early and swiftly and the other didn’t. Meanwhile US is still not testing rapidly or moving swiftly. What are the possible outcomes here Given the best idea the govt leadership has here to give money to people. Is this more of a election win strategy than actually solving the problem?
