Baker-Polito Administration fails to build needed COVID testing capacity

The Baker-Polito Administration has failed to build needed COVID testing capacity. Experts recommended in July that at least 140,000 tests per day were needed. However, MA is currently averaging only about 70,000 tests a day. When demand spiked to 100,000, long lines and waits occurred, but the Administration said the state would not expand testing sites. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/11/27/nation/across-state-long-lines-covid-19-testing-reflect-bigger-problem/
