Trump Could Use His Tweeter To Tell Me Where In Seattle I Can Get A COVID-19 Test

If I can't stop coughing, and have a fever of 104.

Ya think?

Na, the answer is nowhere. And Trump knows it.

NOWHERE.

As the bodies pile up.

Time to attack them mean 'ol do nothing dimmocrats right Trumpie?

Thank God I'm not sick (at this time).

Donald Trump is a murderer. It appears I am the only one to mention this simple fact. They knew about the virus in November, and we still can't test to see who is sick after 5 months.

Murderer.

1. You are not the only one saying he has killed people indirectly.

He has and will bankrupt and kill many more people. It's a given. That's what he does. It is who he is.

He is not a POTUS as much as he is a POS. I hope he gets this and suffers and we all see what he looks like lying in a hospital bed without his hair and make-up on. Someone would pay a lot for that photo. I, for one, will dance on his grave.

These people are way to irresponsible to keep themselves safe, they live in the moment. Fuck tomorrow is Trump's philosophy.

3. Before yesterday, getting answers on where to get tested...

... were apparently nowhere to be found.

On Monday on the local Nextdoor site, a woman who worked with seniors reported her fruitless attempts to find out how to get tested. She was feeling ill. She fully expected to rule out COVID 19, but given her clientele, she wanted to be tested to sure, so any necessary action could be taken ASAP.

With UW now set up to process up to 1500 tests per day and with the only requirement being a doctor's order, I'm hoping the situation has changed.

I live with mom (83) and her husband (78). If I started showing any signs of a cold or flu, I'd want to be tested ASAP, if only to get a little peace of mind that the symptoms are just the result of the flu or common coronavirus variation responsible for many "colds." (Of course, I take all precautions to limit exposure in the household, regardless of potential cause, but it is better to know what you are up against. If I were to start feeling ill, I hope my primary doc at UW Roosevelt clinic would agree to order testing for COVID 19 and other possibles without needing to wait for things to get "bad." )

5. The University of Washington is about to start testing, and they say they can test 1000 people/day

Just four days after academic labs were given permission from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct testing, the University of Washington School of Medicine rolled out a new test that the university says can analyze 1,000 samples for coronavirus per day — and hopes to increase this number soon.

Dr. Keith Jerome, who directs the UW School of Medicine Molecular Virology Laboratory and the UW Medicine Virology Laboratory, said at a press conference Wednesday that the lab has tested 200 specimens for coronavirus since Monday. He and his colleagues anticipate reaching up to 1,500 specimens per day by the end of the week.


“Things are happening in a matter of — sometimes hours, always days — that would normally take weeks or months,” Jerome said. “This is really a success story, and it is going to change the trajectory of this infection.”
