Do you think that Disney world will reclose its gates due to the rising number of COVID cases in Florida and around the country?

I've seen similar stories start to pop up on my FB feed. Wondering how widespread this is and if it can be quantified? And are those erroneous calls/texts being reported? Or are they contacting the wrong people?

I'm unsure, but I know my niece wouldn't make up anything like that nor my sister. Just one small example but interesting none the less.

There is certainly a story to be told. Another example, although anecdotal of course, my niece made an appointment at CVS to get tested and she cancelled it. A few days later she got a call back saying she tested positive.

I'm wondering if this error is one of the reasons for the CVS backlog. I got tested there on Friday and they told me 7-10 days but I have a friend who got tested there 2 Thursdays ago and they've yet to get their result.

It's certainly not helping the confidence some have or already don't have in the numbers, that's for sure.

 

[oceanbreeze77]

But what's also interesting is that despite the 7-10 day backlogs, the people who are getting "positives" without taking the test are getting these results 2/3 days after their original appt. I wonder if it has to do with the computer system when there is a no show/cancellation.

the cvs numbers wouldn't cause too much of a difference, they only have about 2 appts every 20 min.

Consider, first, how many folks will actually get tested prior to a trip and in such a way that excludes contracting it from some other means (such as airport, for example).

Is that even possible? I don’t know anyone in PA who is actually able to get a test without symptoms or known exposure.

yes, in LA 3 weeks ago everyone could get one, now that theres shortages, only symptomatic people.

I live in the wrong state clearly

That sounds very made up.

And the plural of anecdote is not data.

I don't mind exposing myself as a paranoid human but this is one reason why I didn't want my husband to get tested instead of quarantine if we traveled out of state. We were looking at going to the CVS drive up too. The other reason was not wanting to join a motorcade of possibly infected people if he ends up being healthy.

Hey guys...Lets do it!

Well it isn't. If you have been participating in this thread, I tend to always ask for sources and data and I don't make "things" up. As mentioned earlier, it could be a simple screw up, but it does happen. You don't have to believe me, up to you, but thought that it was relevant to point out.

I think so. Here in Florida, my family and I got tested b/c we had a family member test positive. (Later, we learned it was a false positive.) However, we didn't have a doctor's note or anything. I'm not sure my wife even conveyed that to the testing center.

I've been around here long enough, and I've read your posts often enough that I'll vouch for you. IMO, you're an intelligent and discerning individual.

Wow, I appreciate that. Its not often folks are kind in this particular thread. The same goes to you.

I know we like to argue and go back and forth on this forum, but if everyone of us just got 1 additional person to wear a mask we could make a difference!!

Where do you get your information from? They have storage units stuffed full of dead bodies out here in california and arizona because the morgues are full.

Wondering how much to worry? The data has good news and bad news about the state’s outbreak.

Why are people still commenting in the 1660+ page Corona thread? Close that puppy up. We don't need 4 Corona threads on the first page.

Sure we do

We can get it with a known exposure too. But not just to ‘check’ that we don’t have it before heading out on vacation for example. PA hasn’t opened up testing to that extent other than a walk in antibody test.

Glad to hear it was a false positive.

Funny you asked where did you get that information from, might want to back up your claim. Some in Texas border counties have put back up trailers on site but haven't used them yet.
