40 minutes on hold with D.C. Department of Health. Woman answers. Me: "I'm trying to get a coronavirus test..." Her: "Please hold". She forwarded my call to the generic 311 city services number.

55 mins into the hold... call hangs up. Sigh. *redials*

I'm now on with CDC. The first number I called the woman asked, "Are you media?" I'm not a liar and I am in the media sphere so I said yes. I've now been told I can only speak to their public affairs team. Despite the fact I'm just trying to get a test for myself.

Btw for everyone screaming, "Trump's fault!" at this, I am talking about the D.C. Dept of Health. D.C. is a Democrat-run city. Try harder.

FYI I have now made 15-20 calls to local CDC, DoH, national CDC, and Dr's offices/urgent care/hospitals. No one can tell me where/how I get tested, and I'm just stuck in a circle. My case is more tricky apparently as I do not have a doctor in D.C.

Latest wait time on CDC info line is "over 60 minutes".

I got some helpful advice from PG County, MD. Nothing from any DC authority. Goes to show it’s not a matter of central governance problems, but rather implementation at a local level.

Trump said days ago that anyone who wants the test can get it. Perhaps you’re not wanting it enough? But seriously, I hope you can get the test when it’s available.
