Why did he get tested?Just stop lying. My BIL is one of the positives today. Never had a fever.

Extreme lethargy, dry cough, shortness of breath.Why did he get tested?
Once again, you don't know what flattening the curve means. It sounds like you're talking about the peak.
Dang.. I hope he feels better!Extreme lethargy, dry cough, shortness of breath.
I think we're actually curving the curve.Are we to the point in quarantine that we are arguing about the difference between flattening and bending a curve? We are in for a long month.

The curve is cyclical?!Just tell me that won't make a roundabout.
This will play out very predictably. At some point she will finally issue this shelter in place order. And the question will inevitably be, "Governor, what has changed since yesterday at this time when you maintained this order was not yet necessary?" In response she will inevitably sound like the teenager who didn't do the assigned reading trying to fumble her way through an answer in front of the class.
There is no real tipping point. She's just holding off as long as she can. That's the plan.
Any illusion that there was some wizard behind the curtain with more knowledge than the rest of us should have been shattered the moment she publicly shared her "metrics." It's no wonder she refused to mention them for so long.
I want sports back where we can argue strength of schedule between two teams where one was .005 harder than the other.Are we to the point in quarantine that we are arguing about the difference between flattening and bending a curve? We are in for a long month.
Wait, aren’t we dealing with a hump. A curve only changes direction once.
If this person had other symptoms and they refused to test based on a one degree difference, I would never return to that facility.Then they must've expanded the criteria. I know someone who went into get tested and they literally told him he didn't meet the criteria because he didn't have a fever of 103 and his fever was 102.
I'm working at the DMU clinic. Starting tomorrow we have to get our temperatures taken before we go in the building and can only use the freight elevator.
He was given a note from the doctor that said he most likely has it, but at that point did not qualify for the testing. The problem is that his work said because he didn't test positive, he was still required to go to work. He didn't thank god, and his employer hasn't yet fired him. This was only last week and I have not asked if he's gone back to get testing. He technically doesn't need it since he didn't need to be hospitalized and he's self-isolating.If this person had other symptoms and they refused to test based on a one degree difference, I would never return to that facility.
It's pretty well known there were a LOT of people faking symptoms/ histories in order to get tested early on. Hence all the "OMG they wouldn't test me!!!" FB stories you saw. Hopefully most of those have been weeded out.
The post you responded to really took me by surprise. My eldest daughter is administrator at a pretty large elder care facility. In addition to the other guidelines set forth for those institutions, over two weeks ago they locked all entrances but one, posted a “guard” at the one entrance, and she or another RN is basically giving a mini- physical to every employee when they enter. Temps, listening to breath sounds with stethoscope, taking a deep breath and holding it, looking for shortness of breath after a brisk walk down the hall and back. Those are just some I can remember. I realize there are things they can do that aren’t feasible at a large medical facility, but I was really surprised at that post.That’s what China did to control it. Temps taken before getting on any public transportation before entering the workplace. Employers were required to provide four single use thermometers per day to any worker required on site. And this was in a city far away from Wuhan.
