Getting a test could also be important for the community. If he tests positive the authorities might be able to look at places he has been and where he might have caught it. There could be asymptomatic people with no idea they have it. That might not be a problem for now but can lead to more transmission of the virus, eventually leading to elderly and more vulnerable people catching it. He could also test negative and be free from a lot of worry.

Tests are there for a reason.

The crooks are already onto that over here.

Three men have been arrested after boxloads of Covid tests bound for schools were stolen. The lateral flow kits were taken from a lorry at Harlow Business Park, Essex, in the early hours of Tuesday March 2.

Tried to get lunch today at Burgershack but they were closed so I walked over to Carl Jr. They took my temperature and wouldn’t let me in because it said 38. I think that’s just because I had walked from Tonle Bassac and it was hot.

I managed to find a pulse oximeter after asking at three pharmacies it says my oxygen level is 91% which is borderline low but I’ve bee a smoker for 45 years.

I’ve felt about same today as yesterday no better, no worse. Mainly just coughing and short of breath with any exertion. If this is flu it doesnt feel like any flu I’ve had before it feels more lung focused.

I imagine the swabs have to be sent out to a lab to be tested. I'm thinking like the same as a immediate result test like a pregnancy test kit. There's got to be so many people around the world in the same situation.
