My son's work has had a few cases. He got sick yesterday. Sore throat and cough. Today extreme fatigue. He asked to get tested, Dr's said no! Only testing health care workers and hospitalizations.
This is in the Midwest where Trump claims "low cases". Fucking LIAR!

(82,849 posts)The next day, the HHS secretary came out to tell everyone what Trump really meant to say (it was complete bullshit), and the media completely let Trump off the hook. Again. I want to see Trump held to his reckless and wrong pronouncements without letting some flunky come out to "explain" or "clarify" what Trump meant to say. Donnie's a big boy; why can't he say what he means the first time, or explain himself personally?

Just like that, the do-nothing governor was suddenly hot to get hundreds of test kits to these two locations. "The business of Iowa is business"!!

Your son is in my thoughts. Best of luck to him.

(10,242 posts)Im supposed to go in for some blood tests. Due to see doctor but will do a video visit. Seems to me everyone who has to go in for blood tests for any reason ought to be tested for the virus while they are there but even sick people cant get tested. WTF, billions for bailouts bug nothing for widespread testing?

At any rate, I hope your son's case is mild, and that he'll get well quickly.

(10,246 posts)And what minimal testing they're doing now just bolsters the need for even more extensive testing. Trump would rather keep the number of infections low; an increase in new infections would only hamper his desire to reopen the economy.
