Washington state lab now able to test for coronavirus

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington state began testing for coronavirus on Friday. Previously the testing was done at federal labs.

State health officials said the lab will soon be able to test around the clock, 7 days a week.

The change will allow people being monitored for the virus to get their results faster. Several other states are considering doing the same thing.

The state is still largely following the recommendations from the CDC as to who should be tested.

As of Saturday, the state lab did not have a backlog. The plan is for the lab to be able to handle up to 200 specimens per day.

I thought Trumpy didn't want state labs handling this?

1. That's good news

Remember when the rethugs were all about states rights? Not when they don’t line up with their fearless leader.

2. The closer to the patients we can get the testing the better...
