[FRIAM] Fwd: C19 testing

A related data point:

 

On Monday of  last week the State Opened up sever job opportunities for contact tracers; by Friday, they had had so many applicants  they had to close the search down.  

 

Also, apparently 20k people have already signed up to be subjects in a challenge testing protocol for proposed c19 vaccines.  This is the protocol in which they give you the vaccine, and THEN they give you the virus, and if you live, well, hey GREAT!  There is apparently a huge ethical debate going on whether these volunteers should be accepted.

 <https://nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=149817698> Open Testing for C19: Choose Presby


 

So this morning I see NMDOH says anyone can be tested, with or without symptoms, and having strange overnight maladies after some exposure in LA, I go in. First I went to St Vincent's curbside service, and they told me I must make an appointment with the hospital. So I called them from curbside and they told me they could schedule me 2 hours later, and there would be up to $300 charge from a doctor in addition to the free test from NMDOH. By then Presbyterian was open at 9:30, so I drove over there. Friendly parking personnel directed me to their line and said there would be no charges whatsoever, and they usually process 30 cars per hour. I got in line and was out in 30 minutes, with no issues whatsoever and friendly faces all around. Moral of the story: CSV hasn't changed a bit, and Presbyterian is by far the better service.
