who pays for these tests?
If I go to my doctor with the flu and haven’t been to China do they test me?
I believe they will suspect that you may have come in contact with someone who did come from China. So said the letter my doctor sent all his patients. Note that I have respiration problems so I always have half the symptoms. I have to hope I don’t get a fever.
It’s rather vague on that whole topic, isn’t it? Are they going to test 100% of people with “flu-like symptoms”? Do we have enough test kits to do that? Do we have enough GOOD test kits that don’t return lots of false negatives?
The CDC test kits are not working properly to find the virus. Oh boy.
The cities are Los Angeles and San Francisco in California, Seattle in Washington state, Chicago in Illinois, and New York City.
More sites will be announced in the coming weeks.
Your insurance probably.

If you live in one of the five cities yes. Apparently there have been enough people who have been to China in those areas that there is concern that it might have been brought in to the country and is now in the general population.
