I have a good friend who lives out east and is facing some major health challenges. She is due to start some new therapies but needs to get a fast-result COVID test first. She can get one....if she takes a two hour drive and then drives two more hours to get back home. She's been on the phone trying to find a location closer to home where she can get the test. One frustrated call was to a family member who is a nurse a bordering state. That state (Delaware) has a supply of 35 fast-result tests available per day. She doesn't live in Delaware so can't get one of theirs.
35 tests per day....for a state with a population just under one million people.
So I was curious about Wisconsin and went on-line to try to find how many are allocated for my state. I googled and clicked and moved my mouse from health site to health site.....and just went down a black hole and never did find an answer. I don't know how many fast-result tests we have.
Hmmmmm......State of Delaware.....35 fast-result tests available per day.
Three cheers for our American health care system.
In a pandemic.
Sigh........
