TheAgent posted:an extended member of our family is in the hospital with pneumonia and the docs said he'd be lucky to get his testing results in a week. this is Hoag Hospital in loving Newport Beach of all places I really have no idea why LA / OC are loving this up so hard. Why did NorCal get all the drive through testing but SoCal was never mentioned? I do not have any confidence in our system right now.

I got a test done in Sacramento because I had some very poorly timed seasonal allergies or a mild cold. I got my results back in less than 24 hours.

I do however head out to Anaheim before traffic starts, hit the gym, and sleep in the car before work time. But since I can't gym and traffic is non existent I can go to the office at a normal hour.

To be marginally less flippant, the differences in regional ability to turn around tests is probably because the labs that process tests are regional, private, and not uniform in size/capability etc. Other countries with national health care systems probably also sometimes use private labs, but they also have more centralized or nationally-managed or publicly-run labs. But I'm speculating. It strikes me as the most likely explanation but there could be something else.

Didn’t used to be this way, though. It was mostly during the burn-out of the Nixon administration that things went terrible. Nixon created a universal payment plan for dialysis, which yay; but he also got talked down from truly universal insurance and Lewis Powell made the manifesto that corporate America needs to fight the public interest for control of government, so boo. Anyone old enough to remember Watergate should know this country used to be better.

May I ask what health care system you went through? The hospital I work for in Sac is only testing symptoms with a fever above 100.4 and I'm hearing it's taking 3-5 days for results.

Yeah https://twitter.com/fxhedgers/status/1242541025538633728?s=21 It’s mathematically impossible the infection count is this low it has to be 10-15x. Also what’s up with the under 18?

Hey i have an idea, instead of spending billions bailing out the airlines in order for them to do nothing, let's pay them billions to load up all their thousands of empty passenger planes with completed test kits and fly them to loving china where they have the infrastructure in place to process tests quickly. It might actually be faster, it'd give the airlines something to do, and they could load up those planes with all the air freight that's currently not getting here from asia for the return trips, so win/win.

They're everywhere, because they're not testing enough. Like this is true everywhere in the country, there are no places where there's literally nobody infected any more. The time when that might have been the case was weeks ago.

the fed response was to slow-walk the tests so that infection numbers wouldn't look bad and it's only been since around the beginning of march that it started getting straightened out our infected numbers are going to continue to be woefully underreported unless and until it is possible to get a test without displaying symptoms and had been in contact with someone else who tested positive, or being rich. in south korea, china, and singapore the tests were free and they did everything they could to test everyone. the south korea drive-thru testing stations are well-known, and this is an informative interview from some nyt health reporter about the testing and quarantine regimen china had established https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3gCbkeARbY (apologies for maddow but she barely speaks and the interviewee rejects her question right off the bat)

I went to refill my propane tank at my local hardware store this weekend. The parking lot was packed. There were at least 50 people (mostly 60+) there, primarily buying flowers and soil. All very close to each other. We are super hosed.
