They don't have enough TESTS (the doctors) apparently they are being sent to hospitals, to test those most in the targeted groups.

She and her 30 something friends, all in good health, non smokers, casual drinkers with no health problems all were told the same thing. There is a lot of bad, poor and downright disinformation out there about the TESTS and having them available to anyone...NOT so in NYC, which is now Ground Zero.

I get the fact she is young and healthy, and the fact they can't do anything if she has Covid 19 or any flu, it just infuriates me as a FATHER to see that Pro basketball players and Hollywood types are being tested.

Since it doesn't make a difference on her course of activities (getting well), I also understand the medical stance. I'm not joining the finger pointers, but I got to say...

when you have a loved one with it (or APPARENTLY)...

takes things to a whole different level. 00000000

I've lost interest for now in posting anything else about what is going on, I'm going to focus on taking care of mine. Good luck ya all.

Hi Gordon,

I'm very sorry to hear this diagnosis of your daughter... I met her (only once), when she was in her year 12 play (as you know)...

I hope and pray for the best outcome for her...

The whole thing is a huge fiasco, in almost every country...

I'm also primarily focused on my own health, and that of my family and friends...

As I've mentioned before, I'm "high risk" - and my two brothers are too. Plus I have pregnant wife in addition to that to worry about...

You have to focus on your own health, and that of your family and friends as priority number one...
