There was a pop up testing clinic that started here Friday. For $75 you can get a test now no questions asked which will see if you’ve had it already, or maybe are getting over it, in 15 minutes. They also offered a currently sick test which takes 2 days and cost $125. They did it out of your car in a large drive through line. The line was ridiculously long, lots of nice cars full of people who probably had health insurance. But testing just hasn’t been available. So people are willing to pay out of pocket to know. The testing center said they found 30 cases in 3 hours the first day.
On a personal note: I got the antibody test and nope I have not had the Rona. Something to look forward to I guess! Not.

Told ya ;) We have the tents at major hospitals. Jogged by one yesterday and it was empty but it may have been busier later that day. Those AB tests are good they should enable people with proven ABs to return to work and play asap.

Do you have a link or ad or something?

The media has people so twisted that people were calling me an idiot and much worse when I said everyone will be able to get tested starting sometime late in April and that will really crush this because positive people will know to completely quarantine. I’d like to be able to let these mouth breathers know how horribly wrong they were.

Idiots really as they thought that President Trump caused the lack of tests.

Not really, but where are you based? This was Orange County at the Westminster mall off the 405, 9AM-12PM in the parking lot every day now I think.

It was the legacy FDA and CDC bureaucracies which insisted on banning all non approved tests at the start which was everything they hadn’t developed and they hadn’t developed anything yet that worked or was in any way efficient. Trump has been working to cut through that red tape and expedite matters, dragging the needle dicks along by their scrotums to get their jobs done.

The tests they are giving at the mall parking lot are from China. The doctor in charge there got FDA acquiescence if not approval to run these tests.

Le coronavirus en direct : plus de 520 nouveaux morts en Italie, le bilan quotidien le plus bas depuis plus de deux semaines

Les nouveaux chiffres de la mortalité en Italie, où le bilan total frôle les 16 000 décès, laissent espérer un ralentissement de l’épidémie. Dans les autres pays d’Europe, comme en Italie, les autorités craignent un relâchement du confinement.

Let's see, maybe this:

The coronavirus directly: more than 520 new deaths in Italy, the lowest daily balance in two weeks

The new numbers for the mortality in Italy, where the total number of deaths is 16,000, lets one hope for a relenting in the epidemic. In the other countries of Europe, like in Italy, the authorities consider a relaxing of confinement.

Now an online translation to check it:

Coronavirus live: more than 520 new deaths in Italy, the lowest daily toll for more than two weeks

New figures for mortality in Italy, where the total toll is close to 16,000, suggest that the epidemic will slow down. In other European countries, such as Italy, the authorities fear a loosening of containment.

OK, "consider" was a mistake in translation, darn. Should be that authorities fear a loosening of containment.

That is the point made by Tom Jefferson and Carl Heneghen of Oxford University’s Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, who did not mince their words when they wrote on the center’s website last Monday: ‘Lockdown is going to bankrupt all of us and our descendants and is unlikely at this point to slow or halt viral circulation as the genie is out of the bottle. What the current situation boils down to is this: is economic meltdown a price worth paying to halt or delay what is already amongst us?’

In reaction to the latest data from China, Jefferson goes even further. Noting that the data sample is very small, and thus there is room for some doubt, he tells the BMJ: ‘And even if they are 10 percent out, then this suggests the virus is everywhere. If — and I stress, if — the results are representative, then we have to ask, “What the hell are we locking down for?”’

At the minimum let those that recovered or tested positive for antibodies go back out right away. There's no use for those peole to quarantine at all. Then let the 60 and younger non high risk people out given they wear face masks whenever possible.

"Coronavirus deaths drop; Cuomo says NY might have reached apex"

25k nationwide total vs 34k the day before.

I remember a couple of weeks ago when the Demmedia Shill Shits were complaining there weren't enough tests, that Trump turned on free tests (a program for turd world countries the US was not eligible for), and we were all going to die.

I believe the number is now 1.6M Americans get tested for Coronavirus.

A Reporter Asks Trump Why He Hasn’t Closed All Grocery Stores

As he sits in a room full of people.... Someone should ask if we can shut the press down until the end of April. Kidding. But by his logic asking that question, he shouldn't be there himself. Reporters doing reports in the streets, shouldn't be there.

Fact is I'd venture to guess 20-30% of people are not heeding any of the stay in place requests. People are still getting shot in Chicago. How the fuck should that be happening if you're supposed to stay home?

Lol, that guy wasn't a reporter actually.

He's a paid propaganda agent. Not even a very smart one.

That seems about right.

Local LA news stations are saying don't go to grocery stores this week constantly today, I still have to go to work but grocery is to dangerous.

New York To Raise Taxes On Coronavirus Causing It To Flee State

The W.H.O. really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?

USA tested almost 2.1MM people, more than any other nation. Even per 1MM capita they're in the still somewhere in the middle. So much for the "botched testing" narrative.

And it will be counted as a Covid-19 death...............

Lol, yes that is literally true right now.

Liberal media pundits want you to think referring to the coronavirus as the "Wuhan" or "Chinese" virus is racist.

Here's just a few of the times the liberal media did just that.
