Corona virus

[tvguy]

Grants pass family medicine ( a great outfit and i highly reccomend) is opening up their services for CV remote consult for $50. They do not bill insurance, thats what makes it direct primary care. You pay $50, you get the appointment. They have access to testing, etc. I have a primary dr. but if i have even the slightest concern of corona im contacting them without question and bypassing my dr.

Unless you have all the symptoms and more than "the slightest concern of corona" I doubt you would get a test.

Id put up $100 that you have better odds with them referring for a test than standard medical channels.

Maybe It's just that I have listened to a lot or personal testimonials about people who thought they had the virus and were turned down for testing. And LONG lines of cars waiting in line to get tested. Maybe it's better now I don't know. Trump just acts like it's never been problem to get tested.
The dimwit even goes so far as to claim we have done better than South Korea. That's because he is using total numbers and not per capita. He's so stupid I can't tell when he is lying or if he actually believes what he says.

Our country will go down in history how not to handle a pandemic, it has largely been a total failure thus far. The single most important thing besides washing hands is wearing a mask, now the cdc has to wrestle with being caught in the lie on that. They are now contemplating telling people to cover mouth with anything when they go out. A mask is essential, the disinformation they spewed due to ppe shortage will cause unknown amounts of infections.

The importance of wearing a mask if you are citizen and not in the medical profession varies depending on what expert you talk to.
Also what type of mask is acceptable. You can't buy them at this point anyway
