Re: Doctor's order for CV test?

My city as well is requesting no Dr.'s visit.  Call and the order will be sent out.

@MalteseMomma, probably because the doctor doesn't have the test in their office.

@BrandiDavis I believe that you have a conversation over the phone with the doctors office, you don't have to go into the office....and of course so tests are not wasted the patient has to meet the guidlines for a test.

Business are asked to take the temp of their employees every day....if someone has a temp, they are sent home.

This was a SUGGESTION by the Ohio governor.  But today he said he knows that is not really a widespread possibility.  Some businesses don't have the capabilities or the supplies to take everyone's temperature daily and keep everything sterile.  Our governor is rockin' this virus.

Re: Doctor's order for CV test?

When asked about the frustration surrounding the lack of diagnostic tests for COVID-19, Jerome Adams, the surgeon general, said the U.S. CDC and Prevention "was never designed to provide millions of tests." 

 

Unfortunately, people who are asymptomatic or don't really need to be tested based on priorities are out there getting tests and clogging up the lines. Then older people and sicker people won't be able to get that testing.
