And the idea that anybody who wants a test can get one would be laughable if this obvious untruth were not so deadly and dangerous.

I got sick with some the strangest cold/flu I've ever had. Symptoms were all out of order, intermittent jumping from one symptom to another. I called to get tested and was told I was low risk and should shelter self quarantine, which I did. I stayed away from family and wiped down/lysol for the air( I forget the name) wherever I was in the home.

A member of my family worked directly with somebody that tested positive towards the end of my quarantine. We called so she could get tested and we're still waiting to hear back 5 days later. She was told to self quarantine as well. I honestly don't think we are going to hear back about testing before the lock down is over.

So, just to recap,
sick(no test)
close contact with a positive(no test)

We need to beat on this the way the Republicans beat on keeping your doctor. The keeping your doctor thing was a minor technical snafu. This is a big fucking problem as people are out here guessing if they have this thing or not.
