Idiot: because of your utter failures, we are one of the last major countries to be testing.

How appalling is that? You cannot blame anyone except yourself.

Go home, self isolate, wash hands, all that.

My 8 month old was in the hospital Saturday as well. Another hospital. They said basically the same. She has a virus, doc suspects coronovirus, but she didn't meet CDC guidelines for testing. Said go home, self isolate, gave her antibiotics, sent us home, and said come back if she gets worse.

I'm miserable, I've been running a fever for 5 days now and home with 3 little ones. My husband works in the field and is still working, he's not sick, nor is here listening to reason. It's been a hard week.

I'm staying home and marveling at how much paperwork there is to do when I can no longer ignore it.
