Covid19/2021-22 OMICRON/ VIRUS "IHU" FRANCE:P13310/NEWEST VIRUS: "NEOCOV" HIGH INFECTION RATE+1 IN 3 DIE !?! P13315

Have we seen this one already?

"I live in Seattle, I have all symptoms of COVID-19 and have a history of chronic bronchitis.

Since I work in a physical therapy clinic with many 65+ patients and those with chronic illnesses, I decided to be responsible and go to get tested. This is how that went.

...

I called the Corona hotline, was on hold for 40 minutes and gave up.

So I looked at the CDC and Washington public health websites. They told me to see a primary care doctor, but there's no information about testing.

...

I called 2 primary care doctors. One told me they don't know where to get testing, and that I should not to seek out testing. The other one told me to go to an urgent care or ER.

I called the Urgent Care, they also had no idea where tests are, but told me to call the hospital.

...

I called the hospital. They do not have tests, but transferred me to the COVID-19 hotline to "answer my questions". Since I was transferred on a medical provider line, I actually got through. Progress!

..

The lady with the hotline was very kind and professional and understood my concern about my own health and those at my clinic. (Which is currently being sanitized). However, I was told I do not qualify for testing. And I was not given a timeline or info on current resources.

...

So. Who does qualify? Those who have been out of the country in the last 14 days, and those who have had contact with one of the few people who have been tested and come up positive. That's it.

...

The only way I can get treated is if my symptoms get so bad I develop pneumonia or bronchitis, which is very likely in my case. Then I'll be in the ER and quarantined for several days while waiting for a test and for the results to come back.

...

This is all incredibly frustrating because I am trying to do everything right in a system that punishes moments of "weakness" like taking days off.

It's also scary to know that I won't be able to get help until I need life support."

...for the rest.

After we snoop.

Not sure about now but once upon a time anyone who could spell Mississippi was a candidate for the gifted and talented program in their school systems.

I feel comforted knowing other GLP crew are going through the same and you're right, the calm before the storm is real. But in this world, we've seen some pretty dire stuff already. Wife works at the hospital here in NorCal where the first covid-19 patient died today.

She came down sick the night before last and has been home sick since. We're hoping it's just the same bug our daughter had last week. But I monitor her condition. We're in our 40's, no health problems etc...hitting very close to home here. Kind of a trip that this is reality after grinding this thread since page 1. Just moves so quick to bam, now I'm in the middle of it, just like that.

I want her to go back and get tested for flu a and b. But I want her rest for now, and definitely to another hospital or clinic for that test. Waiting for advice from staff there, but she had no direct contact, works in another area and all that, big hospital complex.

It is a reality for us though, It just is what it is.

Well, of course. We're Southern girls. We have to snoop. ;)
