I wonder how many other patients who don't have nearly 200k Twitter followers are facing frustrations like this. On hold on the DOH line they brag, "Results available within 24 hours!" For me it has been 73 hours so far and no luck. This is America – do I sue?!

THE LATEST: Hospital called me back and said they DO NOT have the results back from @_DChealth yet.
Advised me to stay put and call back at 8pm.
Urgh. I’m sorry for any of you this is convincing to not get tested but if you have symptoms/community exposure - GET TESTED!

They cant test everyone. It's not practical. You have the symptoms? Then take the hit and ISOLATE.

Raheem, how are you feeling though? Better health every day? Or still under the weather? Many thanks for the updates!

Thank you for being smart & quarantining & getting tested. I keep hearing “it’s just old people who need to worry” or “its mild for most”. Even if mild, you’re still contagious. Here’s my 10 mo old born w/heart disease. High risk. I urge ppl to think of others like you have

This is a good time to talk about "shedding" which makes this strain of virus so infectious. As I understand it, as soon as you are infected and, before you show any symptoms, you begin to "shed" the virus into the space around you: it comes from your mouth, skin and your butt.

More knowledgeable can correct me but I believe it can live in air droplets for 36 hours & for days on surfaces Infected people are shedding the virus all around them You should wear gloves & masks not to protect yourself but to reduce the shedding that infects uninfected people

I think you mentioned on your stream the other day that you use a disinfecting UV lamp? Any recommendations on a brand?

Many (if not most) hospitals have patient advocates. They may be able to cut through the red tape...while adding more red tape. Still, it's an avenue to explore.
