[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which state does he work? I take it things are much worse than the number of positive tests show?[/quote] This is my guess. Testing isn't being done fast enough so number of cases is artificially low, but critical patients are swamping the hospitals, even here.[/quote] I'm an ER nurse in another state. The tests are lagging far behind the number of patients we're seeing. The CDC guidelines ask for reported symptoms, but not lab tests or radiology results. So we can have a patient with bilateral pneumonia, low lymphocytes, and dry cough (which fits the clinical profile of COVID19) but no fever and the state/CDC will say "don't test." We're seeing an abnormally large number of pneumonia cases, but we're being told not to test them. The tests are also inaccurate. We had a family group with the same symptoms, sick as dogs. Only the father tested positive out of four people. Mom and 2 kids were not positive. [/quote]
