CHINA/CORONAVIRUS/INDIA: “We’ve done more [coronavirus] testing than any country in the world, by far. That includes India, which has 1.5 billion people. That includes China. That includes every country in the world. We’ve done more testing. We have better testing than any country in the world. They call; they want to know, ‘Where do we get it? How do we get it?’ We have better testing than any country in the world.

When you do as much testing as us, however, as you understand, you develop more cases. If you tested instead of 65 million people, which is what we’ve done — when you test that many people, you’re going to find cases that normally you wouldn’t see.”
