I want to be tested...oh wait...I thought this was the chlamydia thread...never mind.
Hey Cap-on a serious note:
I've been wondering WTF is up with the >50,000 'pending' COVID-19 tests in CA. Been that way for several days. What's the explanation?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Well, who could imagine an army guy could be so smart?
By the way, my step father was in the 5th Rangers, Headquarters Battalion during the big one. Tough SOB's. He scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.

They then have a graph which looks inconsistent with that; then again, there was a report a few days ago of 468 new cases, which is not on the graph either.

The reason why the graph looks like that is they are including new diagnoses as recent as yesterday. There will be many tests pending.

A state trooper gave these patrol-issued masks to Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua after he pulled her over for speeding on Interstate 35 in east-central Minnesota.
A state trooper pulled over a doctor for speeding on an east-central Minnesota interstate, told her she should know better and sent her on her way grateful for receiving only a warning and not a ticket.
The trooper also gave her a fistful of coveted N95 medical masks that were issued for his protection from the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
“I burst into tears,” Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua, a Boston native and cardiologist, wrote in a detailed Facebook account of the traffic stop on March 21 along Interstate 35 in North Branch as she traveled from work in Duluth for a break in Minneapolis. “I think he teared up a little as well before wishing me well and walking away.”
Janjua also saw the masks handed to her as having value beyond their role in stemming the virus’ spread.
“This complete stranger, who owed me nothing and is more on the front lines than I am, shared his precious masks with me, without my even asking,” she wrote. “The veil of civilization may be thin, but not all that lies behind it is savage. We are going to be OK.”

Twelve COVID-19 patients in the state have died, according to MDH. Patients in Minnesota range in age from four months to 104 years old. In about 85% of cases, the patient experiences mild symptoms that do not require hospitalization, Gov. Walz said March 25.

The woman, whose name was not released, was admitted to the IJsselland Hospital near Rotterdam a week and a half ago with breathing difficulties and tested positive for coronavirus.
She was kept in isolation but has now recovered enough to leave hospital. The centenarian, who lives independently, will rest in a nursing home before returning to her home, the hospital said on its website.

Also, weren't a lot of the positives from people returning? They come in and get tested? Then quarantined for 2 weeks whether or not they are positive? That last should help limit the spread.
