Fever, cough and shortness of breath are primary symptoms. Anyone with any of those or anyone living with or coming in contact with people with those symptoms should be tested immediately. That’s mass testing. Not blanket testing everyone.
Don't forget sometimes a cough - but a DRY cough. Not phlegmy.

You can also get an instant flu test to rule that out first but then you run the risk of infecting your primary care doctor who sees a lot of old people in general.
And all the patients in the doctor waiting room too.
That kind of behavior is ridiculous. I've been pleasantly surprised to see lots of memes about specifically avoiding kid play places in our town groups. They're full of "go against the flow" people, but that one bit made me feel a little better.Today I saw a bunch of parents take their kids to a moon bounce birthday party.
I really feel like that kind of behavior is not helping things.
We need to do like Ireland who closed all pubs and parties:
Ireland shuts down all pubs over coronavirus outbreak
The government canceled St. Patrick’s Day parades last week.nypost.com
I missed where the Ohio shutdown was only for two weeks. Can you provide a link? My husband is a bartender, so this is a matter of some importance to me!

Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for all California bars to close amid the coronavirus emergency and asking all Californians age 65 and older and those with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home.
"As the number of coronavirus cases in California rapidly escalates, Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling for all bars and restaurants in the state to close. Newsom is also asking all Californians age 65 and older and those with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home.
"We are calling for the home isolation of all those 65 years or older and all those with chronic conditions," Newsom said.
He said all bars, wineries and brewpubs should be closed. Restaurants, he said, can remain open but to enforce social distancing, their permitted occupancy should be cut in half."
Next you are going to hear reports of people breaking into peoples houses stealing TP...………. and there foodThe president just requested that everyone stop hoarding and buying so much and mentioned that retailers have asked the same.
The guy speaking right now is talking about moving all testing to remote locations outside of hospitals and doctors offices for for just that reason.

3 states have them, supposedly more to come later this week.They have been doing drive through testing in South Korea for weeks. Extremely efficient:
South Korea's Drive-Through Testing For Coronavirus Is Fast — And Free
Doctors estimate they can do 10 tests an hour — double the number in an indoor clinic.
I hope not. He went further and mentioned how efficient the supply chain is as well as retailers staying open and doing their best to restock...but that buying 5x what you typically do is only harmful.
New Rochelle, NY that is hit with covid-19 stated that cars wait in line all day and can drive thru test up to 200 people a day. I think the weather is still cold in NY.
