Showing Original Post only (View all)Im so angry right now [View all]
My oncologists office called me last week and told me that my nurse had tested positive for covid. I now have a fever of 100, a little short of breath, achey, runny nose....so I called my dr to see if I could get approved for a test...have not heard back...so I go to the Test Iowa website, do their questionnaire and Im approved to get tested but the nearest test location is over 100 miles away!! I knew that there were 2 locations very close to me so I talk to an online representative and am told that those locations have been closed down....WTF...just as the case numbers are increasing they are closing testing sites???? God forbid that the numbers go up before the damn election!! Im so mad right now!
