LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — University of California Medical Centers has developed their own test for coronavirus, which they say will provide results within 24 hours.

Even with positive coronavirus cases and deaths rapidly going up across the country, critics say the federal government has not made enough tests amid complaints of limits on who can get the tests and how long it takes to get results.

University of California says its doctors and researchers across its 10 campuses and five academic medical centers have been on the front lines in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, since reports of its emergence in China.

According to the Sacramento Bee, labs at UC San Francisco, UCLA and UC San Diego are now offering the in-house COVID-19 tests, with UC Davis and Irvine next in line.

Go Bruins! Its the test that Trump delayed and did not want people to take, because it would hurt his reelection chances sort of like how FEMA refused to report an accurate death toll from Hurricane Maria, which killed thousands of Americans under Trump's watch.

3. Hope they implement drive up testing

Keeping the hospitals/clinics clear for patients with serious symptoms will "flatten the curve".

9. We have drive thru testing in a San Francisco.

Kaiser started it Wednesday, and my Dr's office has already called to tell us we are pre-approved for testing if we believe we need it.

6. So, you think the turd will accept it for use on a national scale?

7. Mayo Clinic has one too, as do big national labs. There have been tests for similar viruses for

years. They had to be adapted for COVID-19.

I just read that it appears Medicare is going to cover the new tests at around $51. Patients won't be charged for the processing of the actual tests at a lab, but might have to pay the 20% copay for a doctor's visit unless they have coverage for the copay through a supplemental policy or Medicare Advantage Plan.
