[quote=Anonymous]Everyone is running out of tests. Going public to complain you didn't get a test when there are none just makes you look very privileged and tone deaf.

Yes, it would be fantastic if we had a test for everyone so we could see who was asymptomatic, who had it but mild symptoms, and who didn't have it at all. That isn't going to happen no matter who your connections are and how big of a stink you raise.

Whether you have it or not, the advice is the same. Isolate yourself if you have symptoms of anything. If you start to experience any respiratory distress, got to an Emerg. If you have an immunocompromised family member then you want to avoid them getting sick generally, not just avoiding COVID.

Jack Ma just sent 500,000 test kits and a million masks - not sure what state they are going to or how they will be distributed.

For now available tests are being used for the highest risk cases - like health professionals to ensure they don't spread it to patients in the hospital. I get that you would like to know for statistical and tracking reasons but surely you can understand that in a time of shortage tracking is not the priority and managing risk is. Yes, ideally we could do both, but we can't. [/quote]
