She said, We know that the circulating virus right now thats causing respiratory like illness or flu-like illnesses is COVID-19. You dont need a test to tell you that," she said.
Perhaps NYC has such large reported numbers because they report any respiratory or flu case as Coronavirus.
I agree with her that people dont need to go find a test site just because theyre curious whether or not theyll test positive. If they test positive, though, how cool would that be to tell their friends?!
To be honest, I think this is what China did also.
I think it’s what its reports indicate.
This is what every sane State is basically doing. We just had our first confirmed case in Mohave County, AZ tonight. We follow the State guidelines which say that after one confirmed case all non essential businesses need to close. I hate it, but it has to happen now. We are on the border of NV and CA. We are seeing lots of people coming to our County to recreate. Can’t have it right now. They are bringing the virus in.
...Aside from patient and health care worker safety, the city is also discouraging the use of high-volume testing sites because they burn though the chemicals used to extract genetic material from the coronavirus....

How about requesting increased production and supply of the chemicals?
” But were past that now,
Nobody believes or trusts those who are failing.
Those chemicals are the subject of a global shortage. On the phone News 4 spoke with a German company called Qiagen, struggling to ramp up production of buffers and reagents needed to supply the whole world with COVID-19 tests.
"The output has already increased by 70 percent. We've already shipped twice as many extraction kits to the United States as we did in 2019," said Dr. Thomas Theuringer, a spokesperson for Qiagen.
No. COVID-19 symptoms are quite different from flu symptoms, and the doctors can see the obvious and distinct infection in the lungs.
Also, it doesn’t make sense to test the general population, because the extent of the spread depends on the absence, presence or extents of restrictions against spreading it.
Herd immunity?
Colorado is doing the same. However there is still plenty of flu and rsv causing respiratory illness as well. Right now it is taking us 4-6 days to get a covid 19 result
This makes me wonder what criteria NYC is using to report COVID-19 cases. NYC currently reports 15,000 known cases; New York state reports over 25,000 total. NYC is very crowded, so 15,000 isnt necessarily unbelievable to me Im just saying.
You also see patchy ground glass infiltrates with influenza and rsv
Testing is key.
All across America.
The NIH/FDA?CDC have FAILED. Big Time.
That is unacceptable.
Dr. Fauxy fault.
So I guess the thinking is 'why test an infested population ... who really cares at that point, if they haven't already been exposed, they will be exposed no matter how hard we try.'
Thanks...good information. Hopefully the German company will continue to further increase its production capacity.
It will make sense in the next phase, when those not infected will go about their lives, and only those infected will be quarantined.
False, Especially in the less affected geographical areas of the US.
We want to be left alone. That NYC, LA, SFC and SEA are screwing us if very problematic.
Testing in the more "remote" areas could actually lead to containment and snuffing,.
That's about to change.
Thats what I have been hearing for 2 weeks
China has done something to change estimations downward to one percent death rate
Here in Nashville 252 cases and only two serious enough for hospitalization so far
This is what has skewed the facts on this so much erratic confirmations and death rates as compared to other respiratory viral contagions
And caused the panic along with the media which should be charged
