Higher funding for the CDC may very well have ameliorated the quality
control issues they had with the test kits that did get sent out.

It would probably *not* have helped with the policy and process issues that
restricted local authorities from testing on their own initiative. That was
a failure in leadership and organizational culture that I fear is entirely
bipartisan.
