[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of countries aren't doing broad testing of anyone who wants a test or has any symptoms of anything at all.

It seems to be a pretty common strategy in many places to only test those with some link to exposure or doc's recommendation based on specific symptom profile.

I know a few countries did very broad drive through testing but that doesn't seem to be the norm. [/b]

There has to be a reason why a lot of developed countries aren't just testing anyone who wants a test. [/quote]

Right. And that country also has had the best success in containing it.

How is the limited testing working out in Europe?

Not going so well I am guessing.  We have some people coming in from one of the more affected EU countries for a meeting next week and sent them our precautions--no handshaking, no one who has been in a hotspot country in the last 2 weeks, conference call line for those not meeting criteria, etc.

The person doing arrangements back in the EU country sent back an email in response, which indicates she felt our precautions were very refreshing to hear:

"Many thanks for your precision about the no handshaking policy.  Well noted for the conference call line.  That is very well thought out and organized.

Thank you for being so sensible."

This makes no sense. Why do any of them have to come? Tell them to stay put. I can't believe everybody urging the closing of schools, but won't stop unnecessary travel? You all think you're such big shots that you have to have your meetings. Jus stop.[/quote]
