Senate Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said Thursday that the United States needs “tens of millions more tests” before the economy can be safely reopened.

“If we want to go back to work and we want to go back to school, we’re going to need to have quick, reliable tests for everybody in the nursing home, everybody in the meatpacking plant, everybody maybe on a college campus, everybody in a grade school,” Lamar said at a Senate hearing.
