Everyone on this super-rich Florida island gets tested for coronavirus — even the staff
Published 13 mins ago on April 13, 2020By Bob Brigham



As Americans struggle to obtain COVID-19 tests, one island in Florida is testing every resident — and those who travel to the island for work.

“Fisher Island — an exclusive enclave of multi-million dollar condos and homes and one of the wealthiest ZIP Codes in the country — has purchased thousands of rapid COVID-19 blood test kits from the University of Miami Health System for all of its residents and workers,” the Miami Herald reported Monday.

“The private island, set along Government Cut and nestled between Miami and Miami Beach and accessible only by boat, worked out a deal with UHealth to make the tests available to the 800 or so families that live there, and all the workers who maintain the property and patrol its streets,” the newspaper reported.


So, it isn't a hoax after all?

3. I'd get mad, but these stupid f#&kers are using the "rapid" test which has a

high false negative rate. Plus, unless they are testing everyone several times a day, it doesn’t do a lot of good anyway.

Does sound like UHealth might have some splainin to do if they denied tests to others.
