What a crappy web site. It imposed the pictures on top of the text as I scrolled down... I had to read by constantly moving from one line to the next, like in a text box.

Anyway, for everyone else, so you don’t have to go to the site and experience that, there is no reason given why celebrities get the test. They just shrug and say they did.

Completely oblivious to their elitism.

93% of those who show up for testing who think they have the Corona virus don’t. Now we can all fall under this hypochondriac syndrome-it just shows the power of advertising or media-repeat something enough and perception becomes reality.

Now there is a home testing kit available for these mentally ill hypochondriacs:

At-home coronavirus tests now available, companies say (Fox News)

As coronavirus testing in the U.S. continues to lag behind that in other highly affected countries such as South Korea, several domestic startups are reportedly launching the first at-home tests.

The products have been greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under new expedited guidelines to help combat the virus, according to Stat, a health care industry news outlet.

One such test provider is Nurx, a San Francisco-based company best known for home testing products for sexually transmitted infections and birth control, now offers testing kits for COVID-19 through the mail for $181 after prospective customers fill out an online form with their symptoms.

“We don’t look for the severity of symptoms, only the presence of them. They can range from mild to severe,” Nurx spokeswoman Allison Hoffman told SFGate.com. “But, people with truly severe symptoms should also seek immediate care. … In terms of temperature in particular, we determine a fever is 100.4 [degrees] plus.”

After filling out the online survey, Nurx will determine if testing is necessary based on the person’s symptoms and will mail the test via expedited shipping.

Nurx can give customers lab results within 48 hours of receiving the test, SFGate reported.

“We are pivoting from our prior service lines to make this available,” Chris Hall, senior clinical adviser for Nurx, told Stat. “It’s a heavy lift, but we think it’s important.”

Today we are introducing the first #COVID19 home testing and online consultation service. We’re eager to safely connect people with certain symptoms and risk factors with testing and medical care.

I hate Hollywood almost as much as I hate academia. We should strive to replace them all with real people, and be rid of the wax dummies they’ve become.

The rush of celebrities to get tested shows how ignorant many of them are.

Unlike some infections which are hard to get, and therefore it is worth testing yourself to see if you have them, there is really no point in testing yourself to see if you have been exposed to a virus that you could be exposed to an hour later.

There are plenty of circumstances where testing makes sense, like at entry to hospitals, at quarantine boundaries, and as a way to do surveillance or infection tracking.

Celebrities getting COVID-19 tests are just doing another form of virtue signalling.

How do we know the leftist sh*tbags actually caught the virus? Who tested them and gave the diagnosis?

Did anyone stop to consider, that perhaps few of them have actually been tested, but are just claiming to have been, out of a bit of #MeToo-ism combined with their usual insatiable desire for publicity?
