They’ve got me in a tent in a parking lot wearing full PPE examining patients with respiratory symptoms with limited resources, but I can’t test any of them for this coronavirus. Best I can do is give them a phone number where they can be screened. If they meet the testing protocol they will be given an appointment to be tested in a different tent across town. But, the people at that tent aren’t providers so they can’t do any treatment or diagnosis anyone with anything. So they can test, but not treat. I can treat, but not test. It’s f’n stupid and that’s just the tip of the stupidity iceberg.
I forgot to get back to this. They were tested for the flu ad it was negative. Now I imagine you can't test for "the flu", but you have to test for suspected strains. Would it be possible there was a flu virus they didn't know was here and didn't test for it?
