Why has the media suppressed this?-----Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Jeffrey Cipolla shared a link.
"I hadn't seen this article.
I assume this paragraph is what the president is referring to when he claims that his admin broke/changed/overcame the standard rules and procedures of the previous admin:
"Today’s emergency authorization is as historic as the outbreak it’s intended to contain.
When MERS broke out in Saudi Arabia in June 2012, the FDA didn’t issue its first emergency use authorization for a diagnostic test until the following June.
For Zika, it took about seven months after the virus exploded in Brazil.
An FDA exemption took about the same amount of time following the devastating Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014.
The speed with which public health officials are now pushing through a new diagnostic test shows just how seriously they’re taking the potentially pandemic threat of 2019-nCoV.
It’s also a sign that the world is starting to learn how to deal with an onslaught of new pathogens."

The FDA has given emergency authorization to a new test that promises to help public health labs meet a potential surge in cases in novel coronavirus.
