COVID-19 Testing

I was horrified at the complete nonchalance that MSNBC talked about long testing lines and frontline medical workers unable to get tested and transition right into a story about MLB players getting tested every other day without a single sign of protest.

Where I live I couldn't get a test even if I wanted one. At least not without a great deal of effort and time.

That major league sports like MLB, MLS and MLS are getting tested several times a week and frontline medical professionals and other people cannot get a test or unlikely to get a test, even if exposed, is absolutely horrible.

Our nation has truly got its priorities fucked up.

You can only get the test if you have a lot of the symptoms.

My husband is depressed because he wants to see his grandson that was born Christmas day. Luckily we saw him once in January but was going to go again in March and.....

His daughter said if he got a test he could come visit and stay with her in CA. There anyone can get a test.

When doc here said no hubby has been depressed ever since and hates FT makes him want to go in person more and jealous his ex in CA sees him a lot being able to get tested along with other grandparents.
