State says Johnson County has community spread of coronavirus, will get less testing

Testing for the novel coronavirus will be reduced in Johnson County, which has reached the point where the virus is spreading by community transmission, state officials said Wednesday.

The county has the most presumed positive cases of COVID-19 in the state with 12. Five of those cases, Kansas Secretary of Health and Education Lee Norman said, involved people who did not contract the disease through travel or contact with known patients.

Because of this, and because of a limited supply of test kits, Norman said, there will be a “fundamental change” in the public health approach there.

Only Johnson County residents who are hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms will be tested, Norman said.

3. There are no tests or very few tests available and they won't admit it.

4. Triaging. Test the sick to see if they have something you can treat.

Figure everyone was exposed. If you can stay at home and recover, do so. If you need to be hospitalized, rule out covid-19 and treat for other things. Or make a list for statistical analysis.

6. Yep! I 100% agree! And i live here. Nt

5. Well, sort of makes sense..,..

If you have symptoms and no breathing issues then getting the test cannot do much, there is no treatment. Self isolate and don’t pass it to anyone. If breathing issues arise then go to hospital. Limited test kits is the issue.

8. Yesterday we had good instructions

and a way to go to help contain this thing as much as possible. As all of us who live here and know that our congress is a full blooded, RW crazy congregation being run by a Koch brother, they blocked much or some I am not entirely sure, of what Governor Kelly has done. She will keep on doing her thing and we will get a lot of it back I suspect but I listened to Dr. Norman and could not fathom what he was saying. Sometimes he says things that my medical background might wish different but agrees with because of the situation. This made no sense to me except that we will run out of test kits in about 4 days then there will be none. I still do not know the sense of this.
