Anyone meeting with Trump gets tested and results in minutes.

Trump offered slower tests to the House and Senate.

Per the link.

Provide the same test used to screen people meeting with Trump, problem solved.

Actually what is says is

“Congress is grateful for the Administration’s generous offer to deploy rapid COVID-19 testing capabilities to Capitol Hill, but we respectfully decline the offer at this time," McConnell (R-Ky.) and Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a joint statement. "Our country’s testing capacities are continuing to scale up nationwide and Congress wants to keep directing resources to the front-line facilities where they can do the most good the most quickly."

You can read between the lines and interpret that to say " Not reall ready to get back to our jobs"

Then this

President Donald Trump also weighed in Saturday morning saying that “there is tremendous CoronaVirus testing capacity in Washington for the Senators returning to Capital Hill” and that “the 5 minute Abbott Test will be used.”

How much more rapid do they want?

Problem created by this administration, solved by this administration.
