Well my fever must be breaking, I'm sweating up a storm. I couldn't locate my thermometer, I had one last year.
I called the Josephine public health to see if they would test for Covid19, They want me to go and have a bunch of other test first at urgent care.
On my dime. I ask what benefit was there for me to know what I had. It was not going to change anything on how I was treating myself. He said it would be to the public's interest to know. Which I understand, but then it should be paid for by the public. I'm not going to pay for them to have information.
So as it stands right now. If you have a mild case of covid-19, which does not require hospital intervention they don't want to test you. I'm sure that it's just a ordinary flu, but if it's not, then we might see a big outbreak in Grants Pass.
What worries me is that somebody else might have a mild case of covid-19 and they can't get tested without it being one of the 20% who get real sick.
They should test everyone who has the flu, period. We need to know how wide spread this is.
