“Of course, if the schools are still asking about testing, it seems you have failed to communicate to them how to access these dollars,” Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, said to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra during a Sept. 30 meeting of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Burr added “if people still cannot access rapid tests when stores are out of stock and people go back to waiting days for testing results, you have squandered the gains we made in scaling up capacity last year.”
