I live in a red state, and only health care workers and people in institutional settings can get tests. A friend was very sick last month and, because she works in IT at a hospital and is considered essential, she got tested twice. Her wife and their children also got sick but could not get tested. She never did test positive, but the whole family is sure they had it.
