I have seen this happen in my area....long lines to get tested and they are told results in 5 days or so.

I heard about a person getting a test in an ER with results in 1 & 1/2 hours later...

I am just curious as to how the ER got results that fast? Anybody know?

As personal as supplies are limited they are only doing testing on admitted patients or those coming into the hospital for an elective procedure.

Dude, I didn't say that she got the results instantly. Then again, maybe she did. This was third hand info. My friend does not know the specifics. Maybe there was a lapse of a day or so. No one is lying. Again, like I said... I don't spin my own fucking wheels--that is lame.

no worries. I am not being defensive. This is just chat, but no hard feelings whatsoever. I just have a feeling there a shitload of bad/purposefully tainted tests out there. Just to boost numbers. I mean, it's 100 degrees here in AZ and the cases are exploding? For a coronavirus? BS!!

Thank you, I couldn't remember the name of the second rapid test. Turns out I had my facts reversed. Cepheid is the rapid test that is about 80% accurate. The Abbot test is the one that is a coin flip at 50% and I'm surprised it is still even used.

My friend has a friend that has a daughter. Well, the daughter has a friend that is a nurse here in Arizona. No symptoms whatsoever. She is a covid tester nurse. Yesterday, she tested herself and it was negative. Then, a few hours later, on a hunch, she tested herself again and it was positive. They seem to send out batches geared for failure--in a randomized way. I think that is how there is such a spike in certain states, hell, maybe all states.

My wife's hospital just started using Cepheid for the emergent cases and the accuracy rate of that test is around 80%. They were dealing with the abbot test which has proven itself to be near useless. Naturally we have been keenly aware of testing methods because none of the hospital staff want to get infected when having to do an emergent case. The abbot test was so useless for a while they were treating every emergent like they were covid positive (N95 and face shield PPE, 3 hour OR cleaning procedures, etc) to try to keep everyone safe.

Sorry 79126407. Didn't see your wife works in hospital. This was in rural area with very few cases. I was actually surprised about the other coronaviruses on test and can't get anyone to answer if someone tests positive for the 4 non-covid19 and negative for the covid-19 are those numbers being added to the "coronaviruses" case tally?

All the family members tested negative for everything.

First hand account of the system here and its not pretty
I am in Phoenix AZ

I was notified through contact tracing by my employer one of my direct reports tested positive

Therefore employer requested me to be tested

I had a mild sore throat, a low grade fever and my ears hurt
But I just had extensive oral surgery done and my dentist even said its my sinus issues that would resolve and he had me on antibotics....

I was put on an LOA by my employer, teledoc call with my doctor and then was asked to come in to be tested.

I will mention I was told unless I was positive I would not be paid for time off of work so I had to use my vacation time...

Had to stay in my car and pull around back
Came out all suited up and I had the nose swab, let me know it would take 5-7 days because AZ labs were backed up with testing
I was home, feeling alright and ready to go back to work

My results came back 5 days later, my doctor called me and from the moment I heard her voice I became nervous she sounded upset.
Then she tells me I'm negative
I asked her straight out WHY did she sound disappointed???
She said you had a lot of the symptoms I was almost positive you were
but your not so I'll release you back to work

I get in touch with my LOA department at my employer....again they seemed bewildered I was not positive and recommended I get a second test. I asked the HR lady if the company was paying for it, I have a negative test and want to go back to work

The finally released me from LOA status and I was able to go back to work

It seems like if your negative its almost disappointing...from my doctor of 20 years to my employer. VERY eye opening.
Does my doctor get extra money if I'm positive? Does my company?

Tonight Im dealing with a peer who is out who is being tested, and we had direct contact and Im sure if she is I will be contact traced to her. So does this process start over?

Re: Uncle Intel about positive testing from Arizona.
I’ve got people in Arizona much closer to me than a friend of a friend, close family. They both work in a hospital. They told me that the hospital told them to count everyone with similar symptoms as covid19 positive. Every person in hospital gets tested everyday and each positive test for one person counts as a new case. So if 1 guy gets tested 5 times and they’re all positive, that counts as 5 people/new cases.
 Quoting: Miss Bunny Swan


I know that is all insane and wrong, misleading and erroneous. And I see how it can happen. They sould not be counting tests, but counting the test results of individuals. Not multiplying it.

One has to ask , who benefits from an extended lockdown?
Is this objective or goal worth crashing the American economy?

What methodology would be employed to achieve this?

Would a pandemic serve this purpose?

Would there be people in positions of authority and positions of trust in the US who would aid this objective?

How would it be sold to you?

Re: Uncle Intel about positive testing from Arizona.
bsflag unless you are talking about the rapid tests. They are notoriously inaccurate and are only used on patients that need to be admitted in an emergency or need life saving surgery when there isn't time for a PCR test. The vast majority of testing done in Arizona is a swab PCR test, which is highly accurate. However, it takes from 24 hours to up to a week to get results back depending on how swamped the labs are.

If she was testing and retesting within hours, then it is a rapid test, and very very few of those are being done. There are two rapid tests. One has a 50% accuracy rate, and the Abbot test I believe is 80%.
