COVID-19 opinion

You’re feeling sick after a party 2 days ago, “Just nothing” you think to yourself. A few days continue like this, but it gets worse, you end up getting tested for Covid-19, you test positive. This is exactly what could happen to you or anyone you know. There is a question to be addressed though- could we be containing it better? The amount of cases developing each day is massive, and a smaller fraction of those cases we see will soon turn into dead people that could have just maybe been saved from this. Testing is a large part of this, are officials being aggressive enough with testing? Are the sick people themselves doing the right thing and getting their test? And in all honesty, this probably varies from place to place. Maybe in your state it’s relatively clear of the virus, but in a lot of other places, Covid-19 is out of control. Such as in California, Texas and previously New York, but the lesser populated states you probably don’t even know by head are doing a lot better, because they just don’t have as many people.

I’ll start with what I know best – my own state. I myself got tested recently, along with my grandparents. Getting tested itself was very easy, however the delay is significant enough, we got tested on Wednesday and didn’t find out until Saturday and one of us until Sunday, which in on itself shows signs of an inconsistent testing process. Keep in mind, if I had a job and just chose to not say a word about getting tested and appeared healthy, I could always just go in sick and work anyways, spreading it as a result. “The slow test results are causing

Well, my cousin and his mom recently tested positive for covid-19, by the time his mom found out, she was already better, and that is far too slow, but my cousin was able to catch it early, however he caught it after so he also tested a lot easier, but he still had to wait a few days and found out mid infection,

the delay is very bad but in the end, people just need to be wary. “The wait wasn’t that bad, after all it could have been 2 weeks.” my grandpa says. Other states and their positivity rates speak for how good the tests are too. “Covid-19 tests in other states look about the same” Detail Manager of Capitol City Motor Company, Jeff says. Some of worst spots are California’s L.A county, which accounts for 250k of Corona virus cases alone, so clearly they are doing something wrong, it just could have to do with tests, or Florida’s Miami-Dade county with 164k, another notable example being Arizona’s Maricopa county with 137k positive cases.
