We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

People will be allowed to go get 'essential' services until they aren't.

Give it a week and we'll need papers to go out just like the Italians and Frenchies do.

The one that is used to move armored cars between bases on a routine basis? That one?

Saint Luke’s Health System setting up drive-thru testing for patients, employees

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -- Saint Luke’s Health System has two - soon to be three - COVID-19 drive-thru testing sites up and running.

The appointment-only drive-thru sites are available to Saint Luke’s patients and employees who have been referred by Saint Luke’s physicians.

Current locations include Blue Springs, Shoal Creek in the Northland, and soon, Mission Farms in Overland Park.

Only patients or employees who meet the following criteria are eligible for this testing:

1. Fever of 100 degrees or higher, a new cough, or shortness of breath, AND

2. Are (a) immunocompromised, (b) have been exposed to someone with known or suspected COVID-19, OR (c) work in a health care setting

Again, this drive-thru testing is by appointment only and requires a physician referral. Those without a referral or an appointment will not be tested.

With the increasing number of cases due to community spread in our area, Saint Luke’s is working diligently to prioritize testing of those who are at greater risk. Most cases of COVID-19 are mild and don’t require medical treatment.

If you have the symptoms listed above, but no additional risk factors, you should self-isolate for 14 days. Limit your contact with others in your household as much as possible and monitor your symptoms. If symptoms worsen, contact your provider or seek emergency care.

Saint Luke’s is asking for everyone’s help to protect the community by following CDC guidance on how we can prevent the spread of infection, including social distancing, vigilant hand hygiene, staying home when sick, avoiding close contact with people who are ill, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue and then throwing the tissue in the trash, and regularly cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces.
At least we slowly seem to be getting there.

I don't see anyway we go off lockdown w/o pervasive testing, isolation of positives and mandatory masks. I really hope they're planning for that.

Somehow basically every civilian in China, Japan, Vietnam, S. Korea and a bunch of other Asian countries already have surgical masks. In Japan everyone still has enough to not even reuse them after a day. Everyone in Japan wears them. China and Czechoslovakia (and maybe others) are requiring them in public?

How can we be that far behind? And even if we are - just tell everyone to wear a bandana at least. The protection is more about protecting others from you than protecting yourself.
