Update: I am better. I've kissed my daughter and hugged my wife again. Im going to take a shower. I'm going to put on my suit I bought for my wedding, as it's the most respectable looking clothes I have. And then I'm driving 15 minutes to my sample and whoever has it is going to give me answers or I am going to escalate this. I'm not violent but I may end up being arrested for causing a scene.

I mean I'm going to show them how funny this is Dalic. Wish me luck.

You should still be under quarantine until otherwise cleared. You could potentially still be contagious.

LabCorp locally does not handle covid cases and she gave me her supervisors number. I left a voicemail. I asked me CEO where I need to go.

Respectfully I am running out of patience. If my lungs don't fully recover I need this test result for future care and expenses that I will incur.

The lady at LabCorp had on less PPE than I did. Your barking up the wrong tree. I went straight there and straight home. I wore gloves and contaminated no surfaces.

Talked to my ceo. She has the head rn trying to contact the lab guy who took my sample and he didn't answer. She just called me and we talked. God bless her soul she's not a healthcare person.

"Let's go with you don't have it"

"That's not an answer, my lung function isn't 100%, I didn't have the flu"

"He took it to an independent lab he brings his samples to"

"I need the name of that lab"

She's calling me back within 30 min.

She also sent me a copy of a text with the head nurse and I called her out on a HIPPA violation not related to me. The whole thing is a CF.

I have nothing better to do than look into this. I'll keep you posted.

For those who think of getting into politics, it is a rich mans game. Because, to get started like here in Winter Park, City Commissioners make about $2,500 per year and the mayor gets $4,500 per year. Hence, they make money elsewhere and play politics for other reasons. And, sometimes, kickbacks is one of those. For instance, every election here in Winter Park, we have to battle those who want to take away Lake Baldwin Dog Park because it is a damn fine piece of property that could net those corrupt people tens of millions of dollars. To me, both sides are as corrupt and dishonest as the other. Always have to choose the lesser of two evils. Still, I have zero patience for extremists on either side and will always oppose those who exhibit extremist views from either side.

In regards to the Virus, I wonder where all those Chloroquine disappeared to. I bet it was politics which sold it to big Pharma.

Desantis says he bought a bunch of doses and distributed to hospitals throughout Florida. Unfortunately i don't think they're as effective as they some claim they are.

Update: my CEO called me back with some answers finally. I know the lab that has my sample. They and all labs in the central Florida area are without reagents for the test. The lab with mine had sent a van to Utah where they make the reagent which had returned last night. I am reported to the CDC because I was symptomatic. I am one of the pending cases listed for lake county. LabCorp and quest are backlogged 3 weeks. I can expect my results by Monday. I feel satisfied.

At least personally. Wow we are in for a **** storm when medical workers here can't get results within a week. The official numbers must be decently far from the actual number of infected. Undertest, understock needed reagents, with a 7 day minimum lag of those tested with their results? Feels like we are watching last week's news today.

Imagine once the thousands of backlogged tests do come in. Florida will quadruple within a few days.

Is this only a local thing? I watched a single episode of dirty money, the one on Jared Kushner. One of the city commissioners in New York City was a lower 30s African American male. He didn't act like he came from old money. I imagine it is like that everywhere though and that guy had some sort of party weight or donors behind him.

Wow yea there is a major backlog on testing and most likely the infections are quite higher than its been reported. What a messed up situation we find ourselves in, if you are infected you kind of need to know quickly so you can quarantine, get medical help, etc. Waiting weeks to get results defeats the purpose of taking the test.

Good to see that you are feeling a lot better!

Why do you have a problem with people expressing their thoughts? Why do they have to be idiots? Some can't have a critical thought about how this administration is handling this crisis? Do you get upset at those who criticize Magic management too, or are they idiots as well? Let's try and respectfully disagree, but at least try and hear one another out first. Ad hominem attacks to attempt to quash debate isn't my thing. If you disagree, then put some words together that best convey your feeling on the subject. Who knows, we might be enlightened by them.

For clarification, here is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I realize people get their backs up when Americans are disparaging Americans, but here is a uniquely American response to a real problem and debate. Its called Rolling Coal, or rollin' depending on your accent. Google it, its a real thing. People intentionally making their truck emit more pollution. And if you think there is no connective tissue between this and people believing every conspiracy theory coming down the pipe, or our current political climate, I don't know how else to explain it to you then. ;t=31s
