deadly, and you show no sign of caring. Your BS is flat wrong. It is not debateable. The tests are not available in anywhere near the quantities necessary to even test patients with symptoms in hospitals. There are presently thousands of medical workers who are in isolation because they have been exposed to patients with the disease. Now they have to wait through the 14 day possible development period before they can even be tested. You need to shut up about your dangerous mischaracterization of how the pandemic is and should be handled.

I am NOT IMPRESSED with Gov Cuomo's message today - DON'T GET TESTED. [View all] Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 OP

THANK YOU !!! Cuomo" Have you come across someone infected?" HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO KNOW?! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #1

Calm down. Cleveland Clinic modified testing criteria as well. we can do it Mar 2020 #24

Its to save tests for those who need them ScratchCat Mar 2020 #2

Ditto. People are in a panic mode, and tons of very valuable tests will be wasted (until we have .. SWBTATTReg Mar 2020 #7

IMO, gathering important epidemiological information is never a waste. Crunchy Frog Mar 2020 #73

What about the point about saving scarce test kits?Especially for patients and staff in hospitals? LAS14 Mar 2020 #77

Because the infected can be asymptomatic .. ***EVERYONE*** ... needs to be tested. EVERYONE!!! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #12

We don't have the testing capacity to test everyone at the moment. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #17

Yes there ... IS ... the capacity Trump just wont call on it. We can have self test for 20 each uponit7771 Mar 2020 #21

From the discussion I heard on WNYC yesterday, my understanding marybourg Mar 2020 #3

No its not, we can still test and isolate RIGHT NOW. If we test, isolate, hunker down and clean then uponit7771 Mar 2020 #14

I'm not convinced Bookworm2586 Mar 2020 #52

true, we'll see .. end of month if the infection rate goes back up like in Singapore we're screwed uponit7771 Mar 2020 #57

China also had people locked in houses by the barrell of a gun! forthemiddle Mar 2020 #80

Health people stay home with sick people? Thanks makes no sense uponit7771 Mar 2020 #81

Yes, all those things are included in mitigation, but not contact tracing. marybourg Mar 2020 #38

One hopes this is only due to a lack of testing capacity flamingdem Mar 2020 #4

You know that Cuomo can not get all the tests that are needed? Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #31

Then his message should be "We don't have enough tests" and Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #37

I think he is being realistic Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #40

His message of "DON'T GET TESTED" is going out to the whole country and the world and Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #42

He is the governor of New York and is speaking to New Yorkers. Sanity Claws Mar 2020 #46

Well right now his addresses are being carried everywhere, so I will address him. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #54

Michigan and Wisconsin state labs are triaging testing. Kaleva Mar 2020 #8

I'm guessing that it's because there's no treatment anyway. So unless she has severe symptoms Dream Girl Mar 2020 #9

So we continue Trump's strategy of not testing, not knowing so it can hurt him less Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #29

I'm not defending it, just posited a rationale Dream Girl Mar 2020 #32

Im sorry, I was expressing my anger at what is going on - not you. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #43
