Sick People Across the U.S. Say They Are Being Denied the Coronavirus Test - The New York Times

BOSTON — First came the tickle in the throat. Then, a hacking cough. Then, a shortness of breath she had never experienced before. Hillary King, a 32-year-old consultant in Boston who lives down the street from a hotel where dozens of Biogen executives contracted the new coronavirus, decided that she had better get tested.

But getting tested is far easier said than done, even as testing slowly ramps up nationwide. Five days after President Trump announced that anyone who wants a test can get a test, Ms. King’s experience shows how difficult it can be in the United States to find out if you have the coronavirus.[paywall]
================================================================================
Trump forgets which lies he has told about virus test kits.

Not Trump's fault her local hospital sucks.

Mass General Hospital?

Mass General Hospital?

The sent a suspected coronavirus patient home so yes they suck. They should have vacuum sealed her in a room or something so she wouldn't be spreading that ****.

How many isolation rooms do you believe that our medical establishment has?

Also keep in mind, they might be used for other medical concerns.

They only needed 1 for Typhoid Mary

There are currently 2,499 typhoid Mary's (That we know about) in the US. Do we have that many of such rooms?

If they test for the cold and they test for the flu and it's neither of those, them simple deduction says that it might be CV-19.

If this hospital didn't do any testing at all, then that's on the hospital, not on "Truuuuuuump!"

We have 900K hospital beds in the use with an occupancy rate of 65%. Last time I checked 315K is greater than 2,499

So you mentioned the area being vacuum sealed, do those 900k beds all have this vacuum seal?

Sure as hell they don't have enough for a significant fraction of the population, let alone most of it.

That seems like a much better solution than having enough tests. Board every potential case at an AMC.

With some duct tape and sheets of plastic and a presto vacuum sealer they can be.

If people are sick then do that or roll the dice. A test doesn't cure people.

:lol:

things you haven't considered:

Ventilation
Access protocols
whether the room can even accomodate such a thing
whether someone else is using that bed for other care
the PPE that would be used up for such a thing
Care protocols

 

[Stealers Wheel]

They are all lying.

Trump said anyone who wants to be tested can be and I believe him. :2party:

I love your quote by Vindman, the guy who works for the President but can't follow policy and instead feeds classified conversations to the whistleblower.

Interfering with the rapture is the devil's work. I'll have no part of it. 144,000 must and will go. It is written.
