I'd like to know what the cost of 8 tests adds up to! I don't see too many average Americans paying for this many tests

So looked on the Clinical trails website filtered the virus Clinical trails

48 studies from looking at the studies titles they appear to be attempting to use everything they have ever seen help a lung related illness.

They are developing a applet to report / help identify anyone seen heard of it ?

After returning to Miami last month from a work trip in China, Osmel Martinez Azcue found himself in a frightening position: he was developing flu-like symptoms, just as coronavirus was ravaging the country he had visited.

Under normal circumstances, Azcue said he would have gone to CVS for over-the-counter medicine and fought the flu on his own, but this time was different. As health officials stressed preparedness and vigilance for the respiratory illness, Azcue felt it was his responsibility to his family and his community to get tested for novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19.

He went to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he said he was placed in a closed-off room. Nurses in protective white suits sprayed some kind of disinfectant smoke under the door before entering, Azcue said. Then hospital staff members told him he’d need a CT scan to screen for coronavirus, but Azcue said he asked for a flu test first.

“This will be out of my pocket,” Azcue, who has a very limited insurance plan, recalled saying. “Let’s start with the blood test, and if I test positive, just discharge me.”

But two weeks later, Azcue got unwelcome news in the form of a notice from his insurance company about a claim for $3,270.

Hospital officials at Jackson told the Miami Herald that, based on his insurance, Azcue would only be responsible for $1,400 of that bill, but Azcue said he heard from his insurer that he would also have to provide additional documentation: three years of medical records to prove that the flu he got didn’t relate to a preexisting condition.

SEOUL, Feb 25 (Reuters) - One of the cabin crew of Korean Air has tested positive for coronavirus, the airline said on Tuesday, prompting it to shut its office near the Incheon International Airport, where the crew briefing room is located.

No! For the love of God! Noooooo!

This is like testing for witches, if you drowned while having stones tied to you, you’re not a witch, if you didn’t you were then burned at the stake.

This whole thing was not testing people for the virus is highly suspicious and an easy way for them to keep numbers low, no testing, they want people to self quarantine if showing symptoms, that sets off my spidey senses.

Not sure about if people can get multiples of these things at once , interesting question for sure, hopefully an md here can confirm.

a reply to: clay2 baraka

So is it not just the cost of the Test but the cost of quarantine as well Or is that a normal Flu test cost in US?

So do we assume he didn't have cov-19?

Doesn't bode well if the cost of finding out if you can spread a 2.9% mortality, or higher is down to the individual's insurance plan.

Can't have a sick note to stay home because you can't afford the test to show how sick you are..... Frightening.

I am currently on page 277 trying to get caught up on what's been posted today since I have been away from my computer or phone for most of the day.

Did want to post this little tidbit related to government contracts. In a prior post I had determined that a little over a million dollars had been allocated in government contracts related to the coronavirus. There is now one contract that has been posted that is more than double all of the previous contracts combined (minus the sole source contracts for which numbers were not available), that being this one:

I for one, am going for Giant Meteor aka. "fire from heavens."

a reply to: slatesteam

That's the spin, if you don't test for it cant be confirmed that you have it, so all is well depending on your way of thinking. We cant even look at China because they are playing games. But it looks like something really bad is going down in Wuhan. Which has escaped confinement . So saying things like theirs a different strain of the virus in different countries, might be true but unlikely. So logically after all is said and done until a vaccine is produced we can expect a developing situation globally the same as which is in Wuhan. That's what we must plan for. Am I right?

In Tn here , a co worker had flu and ended up in hospital with pneumonia. Made it through fine but still 👨‍🚀🧐a reply to: liejunkie01

a reply to: all2human

Mabey but think of the legal implications if this was not an act of God . You would have to cover your ass by saying " but how can you prove that Grandpa died of this virus. He was never tested." Their is a responsibility of care when dealing with dangerous things, if it can be proven the compensation payable would be crippling. If it leaked from the Lab, then the Lab would pass the buck, then who they got it off would pass the buck , they might say they were contracting for the USG. Either way it would need some entity with deep pockets. For its development. They would also have to have a vaccine or it would be a loose cannon. Also a few of the main players seem to have died which is interesting as these days you can die for what you know. All very fishy ...Trump is making India the New China, so it looks like they might be history anyway.

Wuhan coronavirus patient cremated alive?China Covid19武漢新冠狀病毒病人被活著火化？

This video is of a conservations that takes place in a taxi. It describes a scene where someone has been bagged up ready for the crematorium, but still moving before being thrown in.

Wow, really hope this is not true, and get debunked.

.

Not much news out of NorK, but according to this article, you can easily identify the top 1% "Central Committee ministers" because they have been ordered to wear domestically made cotton masks.

But no worries, they already shot the only two people that had the virus, and everyone they had contact with.

Just ran to Sams Club and picked up bulk of most of that. I dont want to get stuck in panicied crowded lines in case the SHTF where Im at in Florida.

The wife and I were at the local Sam's Club in Tallahassee today (Monday). Nothing looking out of the ordinary with people making purchases. We just picked up some more paper products and a few things like spices to top off our lock down preparations. Just got a few more things to do and we'll be as ready as we are every going to be. Just wish I believed that the "no news is good news" is true here in Florida.
