Coronavirus: US will test people with flu symptoms, in significant expansion of government response


The US will begin testing people identified by local health authorities as having flu-like symptoms for the novel coronavirus, a senior official said Friday, a significant expansion of the government’s response to the epidemic.

“CDC (Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) has begun working with five public health labs across the US to tap into their ability to conduct community based influenza surveillance, so that we can begin testing people with flu-like symptoms for novel coronavirus,” said Nancy Messonnier, a senior CDC official.

The testing will initially be carried out by labs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and New York, but more sites are planned.




This is a significant change in posture for the CDC. Especially since we are in the throes of flu season. Oh, and this means the CDC admits there are cases walking around the country already.

Buckle up, Buttercup

These labs were having issues with the testing supplies supplied by CDC. So not sure if that has been resolved.

The CDC will need to get all 150 or so participating labs in the USA up and run it really effing soon and will need to develop protocols to increase the accuracy of the test, or this will get out of hand.

The 1,000 cases from that kids dad text seems about right... and doubling every few days.
