I suspect it was nationalism or greed that caused the US to reject the initial Chinese/German developed WHO kits.
And that caused a delay in response.

edit:

HR6201

It includes free corona virus testing
paid 2 week sick leave
food assistance

it goes to the Senate now.

We'll see if Americans and their politicians care more about slowing the infection rate or is just content with blaming China for everything.
