“这个系统（美国检测系统）并不能真正适应我们现在的需要，” 安东尼·福奇在12日的一场关于美国新冠病毒检测试剂盒的听证会上坦言，该系统一开始就受到技术故障的困扰。“这是个失败，我们承认吧。”

据NBC报道，安东尼·福奇是在听证会上回答佛罗里达州民主党议员舒尔茨（Debbie Wasserman Schultz）有关“全美护士联合会称‘无数’接触了新冠肺炎患者的医护人员被拒绝接受检测”时，做出了上述回应。
据英国《每日邮报》消息，全美护士联合会主席黛博拉5日曾在记者会上阅读一名匿名护士的来信。这名护士表示，其在护理一名新冠病毒检测阳性患者后自己也出现了症状，但美国疾控中心（CDC）却拒绝为其做病毒检测。
NBC的报道进一步指出，当新冠病毒首次在美国出现时，CDC对检测对象的标准卡得很严，这也进一步限制了除技术问题外的检测数量。
“像其他国家一样，任何人都能轻而易举地得到检测，我们还没有准备好。我认为我们应该做好准备吗？当然，但我们没有。” 福奇补充道。
报道称，美国CDC目前已经对1.1万多个样本进行了病毒检测。但NBC称，这远少于其他国家的数量，尤其是考虑到每个患者需要进行多次检测。而与此同时，据英国广播公司(BBC)报道，韩国每天要检测近2万人。
“这真的很令人不安。” 舒尔茨说道。
据美国有线电视新闻网报道，截至美东时间3月12日下午，美国至少已有1459例新冠肺炎确诊病例，其中包括死亡病例39例。全美46个州和哥伦比亚特区都出现了确诊病例。
American senior health official: the testing system fails to meet the requirements. Let's admit that it failed
"This system (American detection system) is not really suitable for our current needs," Anthony Fauci admitted at a hearing on the new coronavirus detection kit in the United States on the 12th, saying that the system was plagued by technical failures at the beginning. "It's a failure, let's admit it."

"It's a failure, let's admit it."
According to novel coronavirus pneumonia, Anthony Foch, who answered the question, said at the hearing that Florida's Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of the Democratic Party of Florida, said that the "nurses who were exposed to the new crown pneumonia" were rejected by the national nurses Union, and responded to the NBC report.
Deborah, President of the national nurses Union, read a letter from an anonymous nurse at a press conference Friday, the Daily Mail reported. The nurse said she also developed symptoms after caring for a new coronavirus positive patient, but the CDC refused to test for the virus.
NBC's report further pointed out that when the new coronavirus first appeared in the United States, CDC had a strict standard card for detection objects, which further restricted the number of detection besides technical problems.
"Like other countries, anyone can be tested easily, and we are not ready. Do I think we should be ready? Of course, but we didn't. " Fudge added.
According to the report, more than 11000 samples have been tested by CDC in the United States. But NBC says that's far less than in other countries, especially given the need for multiple tests per patient. At the same time, South Korea tests nearly 20000 people a day, according to the BBC.
"It's really disturbing." Schulz said.
According to CNN, novel coronavirus pneumonia cases were confirmed in the United States at least 1459 pm Eastern time, including 39 deaths in March 12th. There have been confirmed cases in 46 states and the District of Columbia.
