  COVID Testing West Wichita

  In an effort to expand testing in west Wichita, Kansas, West Wichita Family Physicians sealed off their minor care clinic from the rest of their facility in order to dedicate it to COVID-19 screening and testing. A patient would call the number listed at the bottom of the sign, then proceed to answer questions pertaining to their travel history, risk factors, symptoms, and possible exposure to the virus. Should the patient's condition warrant further investigation, an appointment was made, with the patient being guided by signs such as this to the proper testing site. At the time of this photograph's creation, Kansas's total number of cases stood at nearly 30,000, with over 4,500 in Sedgwick County alone. Typically, Kansans had to wait 9 to 14 days before receiving their results due to backlogs created by high turnouts and too few testing locations.

  Debating Herd Immunity

  I am pretty sure that I had the coronavirus in December. Speaking with friends and family members, there are multiple instance of people feeling as though they have already been sick and feeling comfortable about heading back out into the world. As evidenced by the study discussed in the article, this may not prove to be as smart as we imagined. This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #herdimmunity. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it shares an article discussing herd immunity, a recent hot button issue that has been thrown around in the reopening debate. Link to the CNN article: (https://twitter.com/Boyanbc/status/1280216226128633865)

  A Permanently Disqualifying Condition

  This memo from the United States Military Entrance Processing Command outlines certain guidelines for MEP stations to follow when testing and evaluating applicants for military service during the pandemic. One of its provisions specifically states that an established history of COVID-19 will be classified as a "permanently disqualifying condition," thus making the applicant unfit for induction.

  Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Health Orders: April 20 - April 28, 2020

  Issued at the end of April 2020, these public health directives include guidance on staff-to-patient ratios in dialysis units, COVID-19 data accessibility, allowing certain referrals to labs conducting COVID-19 testing, and essential practices for the continued operation of farmers' markets in Massachusetts. While most of these orders highlight the virus's testing and healthcare impacts, the last ordnance reflects the careful mitigation efforts employed to ensure access to a healthy food supply.

  My Covid-19 Experience

  Brenna Condon 4/28/2020 Covid-19 Archives My Covid-19 Experience I had just left London, England on March 10, and two days later, the entire United States cancelled all international travel. Another two days later, domestic travel was restricted. My family and I had just barely missed it and could have been stuck in a foreign country indefinitely. This was so scary to us all, but we were relieved to get home. But we still decided to self-quarantine once back just to be sure. After two full weeks back, no one had experienced any of the symptoms. My parents both work for American Airlines, so they come into contact with hundreds of people daily. 90% of flights were cancelled, but even with that, they are still currently (April 28th) being called out to flights which scares the hell out of me. It only takes one person to infect hundreds around them, and that could be my parents. My dad had just come home from a Philadelphia flight, and he had gotten sick on it and said he had the chills as I picked him up from the airport. I drove us home with my tshirt pulled up over my nose just in case, as we did not have any masks with us at the time. My mom and I carefully sanitized anything he could have touched and made him sequester himself to the guest bedroom where he stayed for 48 hours. The third day of symptoms, he was strong enough to call a pop-up clinic and request to have the Covid test to see if he had contracted it. He had priority to take a test since he is considered an essential worker and had a great amount of exposure very recently. Luckily, we found out the following day that it was negative and we were all so relieved. But it is still quite possible that we had it earlier in the year when my mom and I had the weirdest ‘flu-like’ symptoms that lasted over a week. If I am able, I would like to take the antibody test to know if I could be able to donate blood or plasma to those who need it the most. The Coronavirus and the national lock-downs is an experience I will never forget and hope to never see again.

  There was no plague

  There was no plague whatsoever. The hospitals and clinics were closed and empty. In my city (Rostov-on-Don) we had some dozens of registered infected people, virtually noone was in a severe condition. Tests were 60% precise at most, so multiple tests were necessary, like 3. So that you will get a false positive result for sure. People were scared, 70% wore masks nd gloves. Citizens were forbidden to leave home, but we did not abide those rule, because everyone saw that they were unnecessary. I repeat one more time: no plague in South-Western Russia.

  Test subject N.

  Just like everyone, I got a pinkish colored liquid in a tube and lined up to enter the tent. There two steps to the test. One is a mouth swab, close to the throat. The second one is a nostril swab, which was very uncomfortable.
