[edit: tldr; There is no such thing as "getting tested". Stop looking for reassurance over a cough and fever; YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED FOR MILD SYMPTOMS; you're wasting very limited and precious healthcare resources which people who are potentially dying from severe symptoms need access to. Just. Stay. Home! /rant]
- SquishyPanda23 6y agoWoah man, your tone is a bit over the top here. People may not know what's going on. I understand you're upset, it's a very upsetting situation. But venting to HN won't really help the things that are upsetting to you. It's more effective I think to explain the situation clearly and help other on this site understand why mass testing is not a good idea in parts of the US. EDIT: thanks the edit is much more effective!

The whole 'my opinion is valuable and the world is a debate' is great in good times. These are bad times and lots of people really do need to stop talking and start listening. EDIT I hope the downvoters and their families make it through the epidemic alive.
