Until all of you posted on this website I always wanted to go on a cruise. Seriously. Eating and drinking too much out on the sea. Endless mingling. This is my jam.

Then a few people including yourself and BeardOfKnowledge @ConorMcGregorsBeard really hammered home the cesspool that they are. And now I'm not so sure.

Have you not read David’s Foster Wallace’s piece on cruises?

edit: this came off more snotty than I intended. It’s truly a great and funny book. It’s also on audible as well. :)

@Splinty why isn't Texas testing anybody?

We have 33,000 more total tests than you despite having 7 million fewer people.

And you're reopening the state. WITHOUT AN ACCURATE MEASURE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INFECTED.

We're reopening the state as well but in our case it makes sense. We keep conducting more tests but the positives are going down, not up.

Texas has way more cases than are being reported. You will officially have more than Florida within 3 days even though you've had more than us for weeks in reality.

So it's not a supply issue?

Maybe.
The only test I have available through our lab company has a 4 page pui (person under investigation) form and they are prioritized based on medical need. Not based on first come first serve.
Almost invariably in the outpatient setting you're not going to be very acute. As such your test is going to take days to weeks to run.
That means the only test coming back quickly are those done by really sick people in the emergency department and the inpatient setting.

But most people get their care in the outpatient setting. It's most cases are not that acute.

And what a patient really wants to know is if they are going to infect others and what they need to do is guidance. This slow and random testing response results I mean not having very good guidance. "Well I can run this test but then I need you to quarantine and I'm not sure how long it will take".

We don't have consistent guidance or fast consistent testing. And I have no treatment. Sooooooo....

We have 5-9 minute tests and 15-min antibodies tests.

Florida really is a world leader in medical technology.
