Good deal Matt.
My buddy is 6 days in and felt even worse yesterday, and about the same today. His 02 saturation was down to 91% for awhile but...

Glad to hear it RB.
My buddy (a 'presumptive' case - still no test results) has been extremely sick for 5 days now and is doing worse. He is supposed...

My apologies (I almost didn't hit the post button and probably should have dialed it back some). The frustration level is high, and I find this group...

[Joel]

No one has suggested testing "everyone". You test based on logical criteria, like anyone symptomatic and anyone who has had contact with a person...
