motonoggin Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Turned away someone I know who is showing symptoms saying they had no tests. His wife (who hasn't had any symptoms) just returned from the West coast Thursday, he called in sick Monday with a sore throat (being extra cautious). He got worse yesterday and believes he has bronchitis. He called his doc and they told him to go to the ER and get tested. ER said come back if you feel worse, but we can't test you because we don't have any tests. There's been word of a few cases now locally, so how the fuck did those people get tested?

This is not protocol. Your friends doctor should of had your friend call a designated hotline. They would then direct your friend. This is protocol in Ohio anyway.

snopro31 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Going home and self isolating is the treatment until symptoms get worse. So with or without the test that’s what’s gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 any of you gotten word on what this is doing to your balls ? guess it feels like someone has a extremely tight grasp on them and makes it hard to move or sleep and brutal to cough and you do that a lot . just another little gem to look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snopro31 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Also every place is testing different. We are testing based off 1. Travel international 2. Travel domestic 3. Being in contact with a known positive 4. Any of the above three plus symptomatic presentation This changes every few days but we have been testing and we aren’t a large area (12000 people). But I suspect our testing will increase 10 fold soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an ICU doc. They're only able to test inpatients. There are at least 10 people not being tested for every one that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 has she said what they are doing to track workers sickness? I guess in MN if you are a healthcare worker and you get covid you can only collect your pay if you csn directly link it to catching it on the job . so they have to sign in and out of every room sign a sheet on every hunk of equipment the move etc etc so they can track back to get paid if they get sick.

Though she gives tests every day. Most people just want to be tested without symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
