NBA suspense all games!

Absolutely UNTRUE.

I know a Doctor very well (A Trumpper) who is very frustrated that he cannot get people tested. The CDC and lab are refusing.

I know a young mother who is very sick, her Doctor ordered she be tested, the lab refused because she had no foreign travel.


I dont know about other states, but in Florida, to get tested you must:

Be showing symptoms.
Have been exposed to the virus.
Be in the hospital.

Just curious. Have you ever been tested for HIV?
 
The young mothers story...

We are being quarantined at home for 2 weeks. The doctor wanted the Heath department to pick up our swabs to test for covid-19 but the non-medical person we spoke with said no. She told us and the doctor that if one of us gets sick enough to be admitted that they will reevaluate but that we don't meet the Florida testing criteria. We do meet the CDC guidelines but Florida isn't following the direction of the CDC.

LabCorp and Quest have a test but it's not the same test. It's not the covid-19 test. Even a negative on that test doesn't rule out covid-19.

Florida only has 140 negative tests on file at this point. Let that sink in for a minute. Florida is telling doctors that they can't test patients. They don't want to know that it's in the community I guess? So they just won't pick up swabs when doctors are begging for the tests to be run.

My kids are sick. I'm sick. I'm over a week into steroids and antibiotics and I'm not getting better. We have known contact with international travelers.

They won't test us. The doctor wanted to test us. Pence lied.

Ada Jack is in congestive heart failure but they won't test her until she is sick enough to be admitted to the hospital.

I have Myasthenia Gravis. I'm a high risk patient and I'm really sick with a bilateral lower respiratory infection. The woman who said I couldn't be tested didn't know what MG was. She asked me to spell it and said "I'm sorry but I'm not a nurse or a doctor or anything" and she got to decide the doctor was wrong and we shouldn't be tested.

I'm not saying we do or don't have covid-19. What I am saying is that it's unacceptable that a doctor can't compel the state to test us. It's frightening.

How many other doctors can't test patients? How many?

Edit to add: We are all flu negative. Thanks for the suggestion but we have been tested (and tested again). This isn't the flu."

I would like testing for anyone who wants it. Like South Korea is doing. Information is power, if you know you have it you are less likely to spread it.

You're assuming that "testing for anyone who wants it" means universal testing. That isn't what happened in South Korea. Testing was voluntary, so the South Koreans are no more "powerful" than anyone else.

As of March 11, South Korea has 7,755 confirmed cases of Covid-19 out of a population of 51.47 million.

As of March 11, the USA has 938 confirmed cases of Covid-19 out of a population of 327.2 million.

Brad is not very good with proportions is he?

I'll go back and correct that then so that you can relax....(But why would someone just want to be tested for no reason?)

Have symptoms.

AND

Have been exposed.

AND

Be hospitalized.

Someone as educated and as smart as you left wingers claim to be shouldn't make that type of mistake.

Perhaps you got into so much of a hurry trying to politicize this that you failed to check behind yourself.

I am not, because I am young and healthy. I do have compassion for those who are older or otherwise susceptible.

So you don't have a thing to worry about.

Leave the old folks to die (like you did during the hurricane), load up the brats (who must be teenagers by now), and head to Disney.

Or go to Italy, your self-proclaimed retirement destination.

Or Communist Cuba, whose medical facilities you lauded to the skies on this forum.
