Somewhere that Illinois had developed their own test and have them in 4 clinics in Chicago and 2 other cities in the state??? Maybe I am remembering wrong???

(34,069 posts)6. Just remember -
right now we're seeing some increases that are solely the result of access to testing.
It's been doubling about every 6 days (China was 7 - we've been 6, so far). So watch over a few days and remember the steep 1-2 day jump in China cases when they changed the testing criteria.
(That is NOT to say you should be complacent - just that some of what we are seeing now is exaggerated because or our piss-poor ability to test before now.)
