Are there lots of cases in College Station?
We may never know due to lack of testing. There are 53 confirmed cases in Brazos County. But I suspect the total number of cases to be much higher.
Since only those are requiring hospitalization allowed to be tested, and with only 8 patients reported by the health dept to have been hospitalized (2 have been discharged), how did all the others get tested? Family members or healthcare workers?
Nice shot at your health care workers there.
People are getting tested on strict criteria.
- Travel to high risk areas- started with just China, then Italy, then all Europe, then ski resorts/NY/Wash/Cali, now pretty much anywhere
- Exposure to proven COVID patient
- Risk factors (60+, health conditions, etc)
I am frustrated with the lack of testing in Aggieland and I promise all of the docs and hospitals are aggravated as well. But you cannot magically make test kits appear. We are not a hot spot so we are low priority.
