I thought this was known - we've been double-testing everyone for weeks.

Between me and my mother in law we spent maybe five hours trying to get tested. Neither of us succeeded.

I've never even heard of someone in the US getting tested twice.

The American government only just found out it was airborne.

Correction: Republican governors who now have significant numbers of their R voters dying, have just claimed that they never knew it was contagious/airborne/transmissible-even-when-asymptomatic.

They KNEW all along.

Fake news, clearly.

Nobody in any position of power is going to face any repercussions for any of this.

Proles die in droves, the wealthy retreat to landed estates and consolidate more money and power when things die down again.

The wheels of history churn ever onward, greased with mass death and injustice.

I live in a "county" of more than 1 million, and there's been less than 1 thousand tests administered, as reported on the public record.

I understand concerns for medical privacy, but it's hard to relay the amount of anger I feel regarding how far out we STILL are from isolating and mitigating this disease.

People have no idea how bad it's about to get here. We'll all hurt for it :/
