Day 43: Just Get Tested

PlagueBlog has noticed that the mob microphone that is the Internet has not actually caught on to the fact that you can just get tested now in the US, by your own doctor, using the same labs (Quest and LabCorp) they use for every other test they give you, without any clearance, interference, or gate-keeping from your state, commonwealth, or the CDC. If your doctor refuses to test you, do not blame your state, commonwealth, or the CDC; blame the malfunctioning mob microphone.

The US is at over 2,800 cases and 57 deaths. Massachusetts is at 138 cases, 104 attributed to Biogen, 21 not yet attributed to Biogen, travel-related cases unchanged, and the Berkshire 8 unchanged except now somewhat anonymized as "Western MA cluster". (Nevertheless, the Boston public schools will be closed until April 27th.) New York State is at over 600 cases and two deaths, an 82-year-old woman in the city and a 65-year-old man in Rockland County. Connecticut has reached 11 cases.

Remember, you can just get tested.
