If your not sick & haven’t traveled or been in contact with someone who fits that narrative why would you need to be tested? I’m not being snarky but I want to understand why ppl think they need testing if they’re not sick
1) it's spreading in the community in New York and Washington, which might as well be every city in the country 2) reports from approximately everywhere of doctors not getting tests for patients who *are* sick. Korea is burning through hundreds of thousands of tests to track it.

South Korea is the only country that has even slowed it down without draconian measures. Italy and Iran have let it spread unchecked. They're maybe a couple weeks ahead of the US in contracting it. We're following their path.

Estimates range from hundreds of thousands to millions of cases in Iran. Total chaos, the government thinks virtually everyone in Tehran will have it, clear it or die from it within a few weeks.
