MD Delegate: Testing kits that Gov. Hogan got from South Korea remain locked away

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) - One month after Maryland Governor Larry Hogan announced the state had purchased 500,000 coronavirus testing kits from South Korea, a state legislator is raising questions about the deal.

When the announcement was made last month, health officials and public officials expected that the majority of the kits would be dispatched immediately to nursing homes and other areas hard hit by COVID-19.

But Del. Kirill Reznik, a Democrat who represents Montgomery County, says thousands of the kits still remained locked in a warehouse.

There was an initial delay in distributing the kits since the FDA has not yet given its approval to the South Korean kits.

Perhaps those kits are bogus and don't work...this was reported by other kits received in other jurisdictions...I don't like Gov. Hogan, but this could be the problem...

I can't believe all that money was spend on test kits that were not already approved by the FDA. What would have happened if they had not been approved. He spent all that money without knowing.

You get one kit free with every copy of Healthy Holly you purchase for MRSP (Mayor's Sleazy Retirement Plan).

A $9M sale is a great Commission check.

They can't use the kits because the instructions are in Korean and nobody knows how to use them.

Lots were bought with our money, but they’re be guarded and we can’t have them? I’ve thought there was something very wrong with this transaction from the beginning. Was it a way for his wife to get some money to someone, did it buy Hogan a press op and make him feel important, or what? If they were really for Marylanders to address the pandemic they’d already be in wide circulation. It’s a lot like the unemployment payment debacle. Why isn’t the money flowing?

According to the article they are being used but not in great numbers. Some were used down here. Anyone who has ever needed a test has gotten one. What would it benefit to just randomly test every Tom Dick and Harry who wanted one? There would be no benefit. This is just a democrat making useless noise. Lying and useless noise is the only thing a democrat excels at.

Didn't Big Boss Hog say that they did get approval on one of his news briefings when they were first purchased. Come on Lawrence you're not gonna be president of the united states that way you need to cover up how you make your millions in government better than that.
