    My dialysis doctor told me Thursday that there was a shortage which was the reason I cannot nor anyone get the test unless you show symptoms. The doctor got the test once every two days. Even our nurses cannot get the test and we are all in a unit where we are confined in one ward of the hospital with no private rooms.
    As a side note, I'm on a blood thinner and have had several nose bleed problems only solved by going to the emergency room. My dialysis doctor said the test involves going way up the nose even farther than the MERS test and involves a bleeding risk for those on blood thinners.

    Two more Trump staffers test positive for coronavirus after Tulsa rally


    (CNN)Two staffers who attended President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday tested positive for coronavirus, Trump's campaign said Monday.

    "After another round of testing for campaign staff in Tulsa, two additional members of the advance team tested positive for the coronavirus. These staff members attended the rally but were wearing masks during the entire event. Upon the positive tests, the campaign immediately activated established quarantine and contact tracing protocols," Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told CNN in a statement.

    The two positive tests, first reported by CNBC, bring the total number of Trump advance team staffers in Tulsa who tested positive for coronavirus to eight.

    Hours before Trump's Saturday rally, the campaign said that six staffers working on the rally tested positive for coronavirus.

    pretty near same experience my daughter had at portland kaiser couple nights ago. grandaughter went in with flu symptoms and a temperature of 103+ and they were not given the test nor would they administer one until she brought down the roof. good news is negative, she is at home and fever broke after peaking above number already stated and doing well. they told my daughter they weren't testing babies cause they have had 0 cases in her age group so far. not sure of the logic but am glad everyone doing well.

    edit: in a near complete opposite experience, my wife had back surgery in honolulu this morning, tested before leaving big island, tested again last night in honolulu at hospital.

    Two hair stylists with the coronavirus wore masks. So did their 140 clients. Of those tested, none got sick

    In Missouri, two hair stylists who tested positive for COVID-19 after working in close contact with 140 clients and six coworkers. Local health officials feared it would be the start of a major outbreak.

    But it wasn’t.

    The reason? Employees and patrons at the Great Clips salon were required to wear masks, health officials said.

    “The result appears to be one of the clearest real-world examples of the ability of masks to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus,” the Washington Post wrote this month. Local health officials are studying the details of the Springfield, Missouri, incident, including what types of face coverings were used and what other precautions were taken.

    The fact that none of the exposed people became ill “is something we need to think about,” said Dr. Claudia Hoyen, director of pediatric infection control at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital.

    “There are definite lessons we can learn from this,” Hoyen said. “This is a good example of why we all should be wearing masks.”

    Real talk time @EL PRESIDENTE, I'm worried about you.

    If you get suicidal thoughts please, please, leave a note saying I can have your weird jersey collection.

    Only true hoopsters will be able to rock the random jersey. You would probably be assaulted were you to rock a Chris Childs Knicks jersey.

    With great power comes great responsibility
