Re: “Testing Decline Coincides with Streak of No New Local COVID Cases”
Agreed. Early in this fight del Norte announced a pending case they announced a PUI, a person under investigation. This is the way counties are supposed to do it they are supposed to tell everybody what is going on second by second I agree something suspicious is going on in Humboldt County but it doesn't have to do with conspiracy theories it has to do with mis management in leadership.
Re: “Testing Decline Coincides with Streak of No New Local COVID Cases”
It's not true what you just wrote. I am not attacking you, I am just saying that it isn't true. Doctors in our area can and are ordering testing. When I was tested I chose to go through LabCorp as to not clog up local testing efforts. I am a nurse and I approached the situation with care for local resources. If I as medical professional was bashful to ask for a test, the average person hearing that getting a test is super hard just won't do it. Anyone that has "traveled" to an area with community transmission can get a test. According to our health officer, Humboldt County is one of those places. If you are concerned, ask your doctor for a test. Try it. Let's not let conspiracy theories lead us around. Let's ask our doctors for guidance like we did before coronavirus.
Re: “Testing Decline Coincides with Streak of No New Local COVID Cases”
We do not need to hoard tests for critically ill people. Critically ill people need treatment and care, not testing. The critically ill patient is not the major threat to the general public. It is the person walking around a/presymptomatic that is the threat. This person could be checking groceries or packing up fast food, they could be anyone. Testing needs to done for anyone and everyone. When we run out of tests we need to reach out for more tests, some companies are 3D printing test kits. The only way to get a sense for where the virus is, is to do solid surveillance testing. Everybody should walk around as if THEY have covid-19. If we all behave as though we have it we will all be less infective. Of course testing rates are going down. People are afraid to go to their doctors office. Most people don't know that they can call in for a visit. Open Door is doing phone visits and provides drive thru covid-19 testing. I did get tested, and yes it took 7 terrifying days to get my results, which were negative. The president said over a month ago "if you want a test, you can get a test." So call and get tested. Don't sit there wondering if you have covid-19. Get up, grab your phone and call your doctor. Make the decision with your doctor. I think too many people have heard they can't get tested, so they are sitting at home trying to wait it out. Get up and help our county by helping yourself. We are all safer with widespread testing.

As the set was heading toward its peak, computer malfunction stopped the show in its tracks. Bummer.
