And that is why it might be worse than what people are thinking. People in the US need to go to work to get paid. Not everyone has the ability to work from home. Unfortunately might show the class divide a little bit more in harsher terms for us in the US. People who want to get tested right now can't because of the CDC not allowing them and people that will need to get tested won't be able to afford it and won't be able to afford staying in quarantine away from work.

I don't think the CDC is preventing people from getting tested. it looks like they are finalizing their test. Fully agree that the class gap is going to show because people do live paycheck to paycheck

Here in New York, there is only capacity right now to test 200 people per day for coronavirus. Not sure what the bottleneck is, but I hope that improves soon. You can't manage what you can't identify.

@leo at least in some reports in Seattle that people want to get tested get denied because the CDC has said that you have had to know someone who has tested positive already. I see the argument on both sides, but just thought it was interesting.

Oh wow! Didn’t know that at all! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
