NEW YORK, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The federal government didn't live up to its obligation during the fight against COVID-19, for only one-third of the Americans have been tested in the past seven months as the pandemic raged on, said New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday.

"The federal government made a terrible blunder at the beginning of COVID-19. They were not ready, they were unprepared, and they didn't even try to get prepared. It was the federal abdication," the governor told his daily press conference.
