The Biden administration struck a $137 million deal to build a new factory in the U.S. to ramp up production of COVID-19 testing kits–but the new facility won't be completed until late 2024 at the earliest. MilliporeSigma, a brand formed by Germany’s Merck KGaA, will build a new factory in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the Defense Department announced as the U.S. hit a high record of 489,267 COVID cases on Wednesday. While the contract gives the company three years to complete the facility, it is not immediately clear when it will ramp up to full production, which is expected to pump out 83.3 million tests per month.

Yep, they are going to keep up scamdemics forever. By 2024 they will probably need something else, Covid is already old news. But I'm sure Biden's China masters have several things ready to go.

Wisconsin. Swing state. It's about the announcement. Just in time for the elections in 2022 and 2024. It's not about Covid.

And people are grumbling about waiting in line for tests, just like they do at the DMV. Three hours just became three years thanks to the most Competent Administration in History (TM). Enjoy the new normal!

It's the DM again. DM, let me clue you in on something. The president of the United States doesn't sign contracts. And his little people on the WH staff don't either.

Whether you are for or against the "vaccines" this is the example of how long it would have taken the Democrats to get the COVID vaccines out to the COVID stricken. 3 years until something would appear. Tell me again how Trump is so bad and does not care for the American people. I do not believe in the effectiveness or safety of the vaccines but a lot of people do ...and they got produced under Trump in a year..

Is this one of the Covid test companies bought recently by Bill Gates and George Soros? Asking for a friend.

If omicron is spreading as fast as is being reported, the entire country will have natural immunity within a couple of months. This is a boondoggle for someone.

Covid is over with. fauci and his wife can just go retire - their gig is up. People are waking up to all the fraud that has taken place in almost 2 years. Unbelievable that they did this to America.

Three years to begin to produce the test kits, in Germany? Guess there are no factories in the US. Once made, the kit will probably be stuck on ships offshore for another few months waiting to be offloaded. It won't matter by then anyway, because according to Fauci, we all all have died in the Covid Blizzard this winter, have turned into brin eating zombies due to Covid, or most likely, Covid will have mutated away to less than a cold and there will be an over the counter treatment for it and the Covid worry will be over. Bidens Test Kit response is a typical bureaucratic response. Offer the response that takes the longest nd is the least responsive to the need for which the response is being given. He should have just turned it over to a private/public partnership like Trump did. We would have all of the test kits we needed by next week made here in the USA.

#21 is correct. More taxpayer money p****d away. What's the big deal about getting tested if you have no symptoms? I can see if you have a cold and don't want to infect an elderly relative, but there are people waiting in line for hours in Atlanta just to be tested. I bought a couple of tests from Amazon just to have on hand in case we got sick. If positive, I will start the ivermectin. No way would I use the "free" test that the feds are supposedly going to mail out. I don't want them gathering information on me, and that will be exactly what the government will do.
