It is incredible that I am being forced to do this. They are requiring I come and have blood work done..like just regular bloodwork just to get a refill. I could understand that if more than a year had gone by..but it hasnt

RE: flu comparison: 20 died of covid yesterday in US- must be about the same as flu already.
I feel your pain. The pediatrician wanted my son with asthma to come in in order to get a couple of extra inhalers. I said no way. We will figure out another way.

Facility-Wide Outbreak Reported in Illinois
Tuesday brought news of another widespread outbreak in an individual nursing facility, this time in a suburb of Chicago.
Chateau Nursing and Rehabilitation, a facility in Willowbrook, Ill., has 22 confirmed cases, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced on Tuesday — a figure that includes 18 residents and four staff members, according to a report from local news station WGN.
The initial reports of a case at the facility on Saturday prompted officials in DuPage County, Ill., to declare a formal emergency.
Willowbrook is located about 20 miles to the southwest of downtown Chicago.
Houston area docs are doing the teledoc appointments, an app that lets you talk to your doc, via the phone.
I would call the Dr. back tell him you will pay for the visit without coming in and ask him to prescribe the inhalers I bet he will do it!!!
CDC case counts US - 4,500+ cases, 108 fatalities as of March 17, 2020
LOL!
20 a day is probably MUCH less than the flu... so far.
Sorry.
Oh, no!! Another nursing home facility :(
I wonder....if some of these nursing home staff may also moonlight at ERs or RediClinics.
What is the reason for the nursing home infection and spread??
