Kentucky Has Opened Up Covid Testing For Anyone

My question is, would you be willing to be tested?

I, for one, would not. Why do I need to get tested? I feel fine, even though I go to work everyday and could possibly be exposed to it daily.

My reason I would not is because of this is maybe used for tracking individuals for future use. I know, paranoid. I just don't trust the government. Another reason, they are slowly starting to open us up, mainly elective surgeries and tests, out patient services, dental and optometrists.

God knows we need the dental practices open because we all have no teeth.

Another reason is , and many people have said this, if an increase is shown with more testing, they will keep the state mostly shutdown, which, to me , is a valid reason because everyone is itching to go back to work.

Still waiting for the head scans for temperature , which I get done regularly , with the national guard throwing you in a cage with the rest of the infected like in the movie World War Z.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Anybody who wants to be tested for COVID-19 can now register to get a test at any of Kentucky's drive-thru locations operated in partnership with Kroger and Gravity Diagnostics, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Wednesday.

"We will now test anybody that wants a test," Beshear said during a Capitol news conference.

Waste unless you think you actively have symptoms right now. There will be a line a mile long of people who have zero symptoms and they will run out of tests... and those that have symptoms will not be able to get tested.

There hasn't been a line at first when it was restricted to first responders and people meeting certain criteria , like age, certain health conditions . That is why that opened it up. Don't believe what the media is showing and telling you, I drive by a testing site for a few weeks everyday, and never see anyone there, other than a nurse in full haz mat garb.

Our numbers are pretty low.

It sounds just like a bunch of Kentucky people to line up for tests when nothing is wrong with them.

That's simply not true, In London, Kentucky they are testing as well...

The testing will be available for individuals who meet all the criteria.

Patients must have COVID-19 symptoms, and be referred to by their physician.

More like a bunch avoiding it. If you know anything about Kentucky , unless it's sports related, it can't be trusted.
