EVERYBODY needs to be tested. When I do my annual exams, I have to get cholesterol, A1c, liver, kidney, all those tests. Everybody as far as I know who has insurance has to take the annual exam. This test should be administered to EVERYBODY. And it shouldn't take one week for results. If you can get your labs back in 24 hours, the same with this C-virus test. We should have enough tests for everybody in the US. That means hundreds of millions of people.
I remember when I went for a shingles test and was told to wait 2 months....because? there was only ONE COMPANY that had a monopoly on the test and they were backlogged.
