Originally posted by Rondec I think the goal right now is to test symptomatic people, health care workers, and people with known contact with COVID positive individuals. . . .
yes what you describe is a good start
but the credible evidence is that even that is not being done
there are credible reports of those who are rich and powerful or somehow connected to those who are in that group getting easy access to testing
while health care workers known to have been exposed to known individuals with the infection not being able to access testing at all
told to leave and self isolate for a minimum of 14 days
thus increasing the problems of our health care systems
and patients suspected of having the illness being not tested but the health care professionals are told to treat them as if the suspicions have been confirmed
