Gov. Lamont just announced 200 nurses in CT are sidelined

[Coventina]

because they've had exposure, but can't get tested.

Sitting out for 14 days at a critical time because Trumpco sidelined testing!!!!

3. Link? So we can share.

All the STILL apologizing for trump folk need to see WHY testing is important

[Coventina]

5. Sorry, no link, this was an interview on MSNBC a few minutes ago. n/t

4. Wait, I thought there was drive up testing in Connecticut

per MSNBC this morning.

6. I don't know what to say, the Gov was just on MSNBC with Chris Hayes

a few minutes ago.

8. Impeachment lawyer Goldman drove there when he couldn't get tested locally.

Skyped on Morning Joke this a.m.

9. Probably that drive up clinic in CT where Goldman went has exhausted their supply of tests

That's my guess since Goldman went last Thurs I think, so tests may be gone.

10. Could be as effed up as this whole cluster bleep is. n/t

[Phoenix61]

7. Unfuckingbelievable. Our med staff should have ready access to testing for just this reason. nt

11. Drive up testing does not mean on demand

It's purpose us to limit exposure to other people while getting tested.
In RI one has to be screened by in DOH (using strict criteria) and then scheduled for a specific time to show up for testing.
It's a safer way of testing in many places.
It does not necessarily remove the triage process to select who gets a still very limited number of tests.
