Colorado kept a large shipment of COVID-19 tests 'under wraps' so the federal government wouldn't take them, governor says

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said Friday in an interview with Colorado Public Radio that his state kept a shipment of more than 100,000 COVID-19 tests from South Korea "under wraps" over concerns the federal government might interfere.

During a press conference Friday, he reiterated his concerns, saying that the current situation, with regard to coronavirus tests, masks, etc., is a "global free-for-all." "We don't tell anybody until they are here on the ground in Colorado," Polis said at a Friday press conference. "We have no reason to believe the feds would take any kind of seizure action once they're here. We are just worried about them cutting them off at the manufacturer during the supply chain or during customs."

Every time I think I can't hate this administration & GOP, my former political party, any more - there's always deliverance. Mine will be in November.

Evil Trump'ians want EVERYTHING.

Hoarding.

SkinsHogHeaven Because the government is commandeering these shipments intended for democratic run states as a form of punishment.

Probably the old defective ones. You can get those from China (for a premium).

WTF 😡😔
