I have not. Would be interested in your thoughts on it.
I have a family member that had to be tested last week.
First of all, they had just set up the ability to do a large number of
tests. This was as late as last week.
The test was taken on the 19th, and it took until the 23rd to get the
results. During the four days, my family member had to self-quarantine
and obviously refrain from going to work.
They weren’t too keen on doing the test for my family member
because they were in short supply.
That’s just six days ago.
It’s obvious they haven’t been doing adequate testing.
I’ve been following to the degree possible the statistical impact of delayed testing. The definition of a case includes all those who test positive, meaning there are two ways a sudden increase in cases can occur: first through a growing infection level, or second through a growing level of discovery of those previously infected caused by an increased number of tests. It’s beginning to look like this has been with us since January but was largely undetected or misclassified until testing became widespread.
The media has had a tendency to classify all new cases as the product of the disease spreading. That produces dramatic numbers, but I don’t think it accurately describes what’s going on. So far, I haven’t found a solid source for numbers of tests.
Didn’t see your earlier posts, so I don’t know your results. Hope things are going okay for you. I’ve been through that anxiety while waiting for test results on a serious condition, and know it’s not fun.
