slow testing is the reason. taking a long time to get test results back. i think the last number i saw for LA City/County is 20,000 tested so far. have no idea about the rest of the county’s
Like the flu, they only tested the really sick.
That is rapidly changing.
Just know “the system” was designed to test a small number of really sick...to support the gathering of data on the flu.
The entire infectious disease testing system is designed to monitor the flu.
