Per the Daily Mail, hospitals in the US can easily do the test in 4-6 hours to confirm the virus but the FDA is not giving them permission so the hospitals must send it to the CDC which takes days.

I was under the impression that the CDC communicated the testing process. If that was the case, hospitals can test a sample and know—and send another sample to the cdc for their confirmation.

FDA deliberately slow walking this.

UPDATE : 6 Sri Lankan sailors displaying symptoms of Coronavirus

Colombo (News 1st) – The Merchant Shipping Association of Sri Lanka stated that 6 sailors of a ship travelling from China to Egypt had fallen ill. President of the Association of Palitha Athukorala said that that the seamen who had fallen ill were onboard the CMA CGM URAL vessal. According to satellite data the ship had been docked at 3 Chinese ports for over 5 days. On the 11th of this month the ship was docked at the Port of Ningbo, on the 13th at the Xiamen Port, and the ship had then docked at the Shekou Port. The ship arrived in Singapore on the 18th of this month. The ports at which this ship docked at are located in close proximity to the town of Wuhan, which was identified as the epicenter of the coronavirus. The port of Ningbo is located 922 km away from Wuhan. This morning the ship was sailing close to Galle Sri Lanka and the ship is due to sail close to Egypt on the 30th of January.

I never even though about sailors ...

[Black Agnes]

Can you post that link here and/or in its own thread?

Shocking if true.

[Black Agnes]

If true, we’re screwed. Those sailors weren’t anywhere NEAR Wuhan ...and means lots of OTHER sailors may be infected as well.

Here ya go. Updated DM article. Darn FDA will not allow hospitals to test at this time even though they can.
