Testing requires personal protective equipment (PPEs) which is why NYC and LA backed off of some testing today. To preserve PPEs.
seems like a silly reason though unless testing kits/reagents/labs are backed up. One person gowned up can gather samples for hours without changing. Vs inpatient care you go through gear constantly...
NYC DEPT HEALTH: “At this point in the pandemic, demand for unnecessary testing is contributing to the rapidly diminishing supply of PPE and leading to a decreasing supply of swabs and viral transport media used to collect diagnostic specimens for Covid-19 testing.”
Regardless of stated reasoning, with a proper set up (drive through) that’s a pretty silly reason to stop testing. On the hospital side that reason is valid as you gown up/down for each new encounter but with a drive through one provider could collect dozens of samples..
agreed. But we all know there’s a difference between I have a cough semi-isolation and oh shit I have COVID stay away from all family quarantine. We need to test to the limits of our available bandwidth.
