“The CDC and Vice President Mike Pence’s office, which is coordinating the government’s response to the virus, did not respond to questions for this story. It’s unclear who in the government originally made the decision to design a more complicated test, or to depart from the WHO guidance.”

This is like the story about the U.S. weather service in 1900 who didn’t believe the Cuban forecasters who predicted the storm would threaten Galveston because they were foreigners.

I have to wonder if the WHO sanctioned test kits are proprietary, with a limited foreign manufacturing base.
It would be one reason to justify developing a US developed test.
